This is our first time. We got positive test at home. In lab reports it shows around 2600 hcg for 5th week pregnancy. I have been on acne treatment last month actruet isotretnoin 20. Should we go ahead with the pregnancy. Could this isotretnoin medicine have any bad effects on pregnancy.

Where am I?
