Can I Get Pregnant Within 72 Hours Of Intercourse?
There is a chance I may be pregnant. Only about 72 hours post intercourse. I currently take lisinopril for HTN. Isn't there a grace period for potential dangerous drugs prior to missing a period? I don't want to stop taking the medicine, as my HTN is not controlled well without it.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Yes certain potentially dangerous drugs do have a grace period before conception, but certain drugs (especially those that can cause withdraeal symptoms) are advised to be continued even during pregnancy. But in my opinion lisinopril can be discontinued or substituted during pregnancy and so I would request you to report to your doctor for the same.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes
