Hello,
Two pills usually do not cause any adverse effects on the fetus as seen through studies; it is only when the medication is taken during the period of sexual differentiation in the embryo at about 45 days of gestation that virilization effects are noticed if the fetus is female. Therefore, you need not worry; just mention this to your doctor when you go for a check up and ask for an anomalies scan when it is due. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
