As with any medication, we try and minimize it during pregnancy but we would never want to jeopardize a mother's health. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Don't plan good or bad. Just follow your trusted doctor's instructions for your health and that of your soon to be conceived baby.

13-17 days but I'd rather see the latter.
