What are the possible birth defect of Ortho Tri-Cyclen if taken while pregnant?

Answers:

Does it sound close to i may be pregnant? ARGH : S?

There is no connection between taking birth control pills while pregnant & birth defect. Many women have taken the pill into their second trimester since realizing they be actually pregnant.

The hormones contained by Ortho Tri-Cyclen can at most change the phenotype of your newborn. This means that it can determine the color of your babies coat, eyes, etc. However, many things can also sway phenotype. For example, consumption certain foods while pregnant can effect certain differences contained by which genes are expressed.

Hope this helps & don't hysterics if you took the pill while pregnant. I'd just tolerate your OB know & they'll most likely reassure you of the safeness.
