the Dex needs to be used to prevent virilization in affected CAH girls. and the chance of having an affected CAH girl is 1 out of 8 in every pregnancy.

I’m nine weeks pregnant and have been taking dex for almost three weeks but i didn’t experience any side effects :) so far. well, in the beginning, i felt short of breath but doctors told me it is because of pregnancy.

common side effects are: acne, weight gain
