Usually not harmful to baby.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

As such, it does not harmful to the baby if you conceive after getting it because it contain hormone progesterone in it similar to present in your body.

But to be safer side you should confer with your treating gynecologist and get your pelvic ultrasound done to see for fetal well being.

If everything is fine you can go along your pregnancy under her close supervision.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.

Good luck for your future.
Regards
Dr.Richa
