I'm nursing my 3-year-old and wondering if it's safe to take cyclopam for menstrual pain. Could this medication be harmful while breastfeeding?

Cyclopam (Dicyclomine) can be taken occasionally for menstrual pain while nursing a 3-year-old, as only small amounts pass into breast milk, and it's generally considered safe. However, monitor your child for any signs of drowsiness or feeding changes, and consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm a bit worried and curious about something. I had a beta hCG test done in the 8th week and the result was 0.5 ml. Plus, my ultrasound report from the 6th week looked normal. Is there any possibility of being pregnant with these results? I've done just one beta hCG test this month. Can you help clarify this?
