The hormone components contained in contraceptive pills will affect women\’s endocrine system and may interfere with normal reproductive functions and affect pregnancy.
2. Antibiotics: During pregnancy preparation, the use of antibiotics should be avoided as much as possible. Antibiotics are mainly used to treat bacterial infections, but some antibiotics may have adverse effects on the reproductive system.

3. Anti-cancer drugs: Try to avoid using anti-cancer drugs during pregnancy preparation. Anticancer drugs usually have strong toxic side effects and may have adverse effects on embryos and fetuses. If you are receiving anti-cancer treatment or are at risk of cancer, it is recommended to consult with your doctor in detail before preparing for pregnancy to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
4. Central nervous system drugs: Try to avoid using central nervous system drugs, such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, etc. during pregnancy preparation. These drugs may have adverse effects on embryonic and fetal development and even increase the risk of miscarriage. If you have a mental health problem, it is recommended to consult with your doctor to seek other non-pharmacological treatments.
5. Herbal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine: Herbal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine should be used with caution during pregnancy preparation. Although herbal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine can alleviate some physical discomforts to a certain extent, their ingredients are complex, their usage and dosage are difficult to control, and there is a certain degree of uncertainty. Some herbal and traditional Chinese medicines may have adverse effects on the reproductive system, so it is best to avoid using them while preparing for pregnancy.
