I'm scared I could be pregnant because i'm
on accutane, an acne medication that you
can not become pregnant on. But they
only tell you not to become pregnant, and
if you do, the only option is an immediate
abortion. I don't want to get my parents
involved if i'm really not though.
Are there anyone who has more
knowledge about accutane and pregnancy?
Also, are there any nurses or doctors that
post here? ~ lindsey

You should find out asap. I took
accutane before. You should find out.
If you are 8 days late you should test bc
it'll show up. Good luck!

Im not 8 days late. Its now been 11 days
since I might have become pregnant. My
period always starts on random days, this
month im guessing anywhere from the 16 to
the 24. Is it too early to get a test?

I have heard about how you should never
become pregnant will taking accutane and
how it can cause birth defects I dont
really know much about it but I know that
my friend took it and the doctor but her
on birth control while she was using it.
Take a pregnancy test and if it comes up
negative and you dont start in a week or
so take another or go to the doc.!
