1. It takes up to 10 days for the blastocyst to implant. Sounds like you were off the meds at that point.
2. Pulling out IS NOT EFFECTIVE BIRTH CONTROL. If you cannot/do not want to become pregnant for any reason (e.g., you are on meds which could cause birth defects) please do the right thing and use an effective method of birth control such as the pill, condoms, spermacide, sponge, IUD, nexplanon, nuvaring, diaphragm, etc. Plan B doesn't work well for some women, particularly those that weight more than 165 pounds. It's not an effective tool for managing family planning (it's an emergency backup and should be used that way -- in conjunction with some other form of birth control). Talk with your OB/GYN so you can get effective BC for after your pregnancy.
Good luck and congratulations on your little one!

You can't really take advice about something like this on a forum. See your OB-Gyn and research the drug and pregnancies.

You think he will tell me it's all good? I am so nervous.

"tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking doxycycline, call your doctor immediately. Doxycycline can harm the fetus" (from medlineplus.gov)

This says that there is no statistically significant birth defects correlated with use in the second and third months of pregnancy. http://www.drugs.com/pro/doxycycline.html

Most likely it's too early. There is no blood connection until after implantation and I think a couple days after.
Go to the OB and give them an exact a timeline as you can. Good luck!!

I took it for 7 days to treat ureaplasma.
Ovulated right before starting the treatment and took a morning after pill after DH forgot to pull out. I was sure we were safe and went ahead with the treatment. Now I am 3 days late and the test is positive. Calling my OBGYN tomorrow. Can the drugs cause harm to a baby this early in the pregnancy? I so don't want to terminate... Crying
