Hi. I stopped taking isotretinoin 1.5 year ago. It was an oral treatment for severe acne. I read it can lead to birth defects to the fetus. I got pregnant 1.5 year after stopping taking this medicine. Is this time enough to be completely clear of this medicine? Can I be 100% sure it did not affect my baby after 1.5 year? I would be thankful for your answer.
