 [ Symptoms ] is taking 25mg of dhea harmful to a fetus  i was taking dhea 25mg before i became pregnant to help with fatigue and sex drive i became pregnant and was told by my midwife that it was ok to continue taking it however after looking online and at the bottle it appears it may not be safe i have now stopped taking it i am currently 9 weeks pregnant and have been taking the 25mg 1 x per day i am wondering if this has possibly caused an harm to my baby [ Disease ] hello and welcome to ehealth forum this is a personal and religious decision but considering the circumstances it is best to opt for abortion otherwise you need to inform your parents about it the best way to do is go for a dilatation and curettage vacuum evacuation can be tried before 7 weeks of pregnancy if you do not want that then you can try a drug which contains a chemical called mifepristone the best method through pills is a combination of mifepristone plus prostaglandin discuss this with the gynecologist i would suggest you consult a gynecologist if your pregnancy test is positive and not go for any pills on your own as they carry the danger of incomplete abortion and very heavy bleeding a dose higher than the required dose can cause damage to the uterus too so please do not self medicate after the termination think in terms of inserting iud or other such devices like implanon or go for pills please consult your gynecologist hope this helps take care
