Levocetirizine is generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially in the recommended doses. However, as you are in your first trimester, it's important to consult your healthcare provider before taking any medication, including levocetirizine, to ensure its the best option for your specific situation.

I just got scanned for infertility and the doctor found a cyst saying I need laparoscopic surgery right away because it's preventing pregnancy.
