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've got my scan results, and it shows Crl at 0.48cm, G.A is 6 weeks 1 day, E.D.D is 12042022, Heartbeat is regular at 124Bpm, and a summary of normal pregnancy size for 6 weeks and 1 day. There's also a left ovarian simple cyst. I'm just wondering, based on these results, should I go for another scan in a week, or is everything looking okay for now?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.
