Q: I started taking doxycycline 100 mg 2x day, two days ago. My husband and I want to try to get pregnant this month.If i stop taking it today is it safe to try and conceive soon? any effect on baby?
Hello
I guess I am wondering what the rush is. If you are taking this medication...there must be a reason and you should never stop taking an antibiotic until you are done with your prescription.
Conceiving may not happen within just a month so patience is going to be needed.
There are some dangers of taking this medication if you do become pregnant. On this medication web site some of these dangers include permanent tooth discoloration or the risk to your baby's bone formation.
I would suggest talking to your doctor about when it may be safe to begin trying to become pregnant.
Good luck to you and thank you for your question.
