Hi!!
If you have taken doxyxcycline before missing your period or before you are 6 weeks pregnant,it has no side effects on the pregnancy.
After 6 weeks of pregnancy,do not take any medication without your obstetrician's advice as this can be harmful to the unborn child as the blood supply to the fetus is established by then.These medications which are harmful to the fetus in the womb are called teratogenic medications.
