Question
Is there any risk or harm for fetus when OCP (Marvelon) is used in all days of forth and fifth weeks after the LMP (the mother didn't know her pregnancy)? If yes, is the abortion indicated?

Answer
Hi Kayvan,
There could be minor problems to the baby (nthing that cannot be corrected) and abortion is certanly not indicated. I would suggest a villar test at a later date and then decide about the continuation of pregnancy. This would eb done by a competent gynecologist and the doctor would decide the date and procedure.
