Depends on the drug: Some illicit drugs can stay in your system for weeks after use, potentially causing harm to a new fetus. Consult with your OB doctor.

Depends: Depends on what "right before" means. Pregnancy often diagnosed at 6-8 weeks post-conception, so you may have already been pregnant while using. The early weeks are very important in development. Best to do is stop, follow instructions carefully, and hope for the best. I know people whe are smart and successful whose mothers used drugs, but also seen many vegetative, sick "drug babies.".
