prescribtions and pregnancy

My doctor prescribed me minocycline and I started taking it for about four days and then found out I was pregnant. I have stopped taking it since, but now I've read some of the birth defects that it causes and I'm  really scared. I'm only about 5 weeks and was just wondering if someone could give some more in depth info on the possibilities of something happening to my baby. I was taking 100mg twice a day.

Its best to call your dr but normally they say that things you do before you know you are pregnant arent going to harm the baby and you have quit taking it now. But I would definitely talk to your dr about to see what they say.
