Buspar (Buspirone) in First Two Weeks of Pregnancy

I'm trying to find out if anyone has any anecdotal evidence about the repercussions of using Buspar (Buspirone) in early pregnancy, namely in the first two weeks after conception. I had taken this drug before I knew I was pregnant, and found out I was pregnant approximately 12-13 days afte conception. On that day, I went cold turkey on the drug.

Since then, I have contacted several psychopharmacologists who state that the drug is not known to cause problems in humans and is known to not cause problems in animals at very high dosages. They and my RE and my OB have told me that in the first two weeks after conception, there is no organogenesis and if the drug is ceased before organogenesis begins, then any damage will simply cause a miscarriage.

Well, I feel better mostly, but I'd like to know if anyone has any anecdotal evidence of a woman who took Buspar at any time in her pregnancy, particularly a woman who took it in the first two weeks and then stopped.

By the way, the drug's manufacturer claims to have no anecdotal evidence. Also, I tried to contact the FDA under the Freedom of Information Act but they have not written back (it's been 5 weeks) (so much for "Freedom of Information").

I am 9 weeks pregnant by the way and saw the embryo, with arm and leg buds and heartbeat about 5 days ago.
