Asked By:bmishay

Hello! I am scheduled to explant next week and have just found out that I am pregnant. I will be 5 weeks next week on the day of surgery and am now very concerned about possible effects! I have read various things where some say it’s okay and some say to definitely wait. Any answers are appreciated if someone could help with my procedure being during the very beginning stages!
