Brief Answer:
Not concerning...

Detailed Answer:
Valium consists of diazepam and it is from benzodiazepines group of drugs. The drug is very good option in anxiety disorders and panic disorders. Normal doses are about 10 mg. But over all the drug is safe in very high ranges also. You have taken 30 mg of valium over a 8-9 hour period and this will not cause any ill effect to your health. Just remember to take drug under proper prescription only.

The will not cause any effect on conception. There is no need to worry.
