Well, the good news is these chemicals, while having a long course, would have been metabolized long ago. Most ingested drugs do not linger in the system for months. Therefore, there seems little risk of a direct drug effect on the developing fetus at this point, as far as I can tell from your information. That is, unless you are using other substances.
The reason for your persistent symptoms are more likely a result of organ or brain damage resulting from the overdose. Keep an eye on the liver parts of your lab results, and keep your physician informed, as pregnancy can stressful on the body depending on your condition. Take care of yourself and kid.
