A member asked:
I had unprotected sex within the last six days and could be pregnant. however i have taken three pills of 100mg doxycycline within those six days. should i be worried about birth defects if i am pregnant?

Given the information you provided, the doxycycline will not have an adverse effect on any pregnancy occurring in this particular time frame, as a blood connection with a new embryo is not established this early even if pregnancy did occur.
