I would just hold off on the medication until your sure your pregnant or until your sure you are not. I truly hope you are! Good luck!
would you rather die from it or take the meds??? you should talk to your doctor and let him know your concerns..
And how would malaria affect your possible fetas? Check with your Doctor and get their advice before making a decision.
Malaria is very dangerous to a fetus, although as you say if you are pregnant it would be in the early stages. You should discuss this with your physician. He or she will probably recommend that you be treated, with a drug that is known to be safe in pregnancy. In the meantime if it turns out you are not pregnant you will probably want to hold off on trying to conceive until the treatment is complete.
