Doxycycline

I am currently 7 wks 1 day pregnant, I was prescribed doxycycline for a week to treat a bacterial infection and searching up on google is not helping at all. Is doxycycline safe to use while pregnant ? I don’t have an OB right now because I am transitioning to a new state. Help pls !!

Did you tell the prescribing dr you were pregnant? You can always just call to ask a nurse.

Call an ob or your regular doctor, even if you’re moving, and ask. They should be able to have a nurse tell you. You don’t always have to be an established patient to ask questions like that. If you know where you’re moving to, find an ob there and ask, and start getting set up with them imo.

I hesitate to say it’s fine because there are some results that might link doxycycline use in first trimester to birth defects, but other resources say it’s okay. Definitely ask the pros on this one.
