NOOOOOOOOOOO!

It affects your hormones though, which is why it helps with PMT, PND etc.

im on the mirena hormone coil...can it affect that?

[flamebat]

Never heard of that! It does interfere with piles of medication though, so if you are taking anything else, then check with a homeopath and your doctor (homeopath is likely to be more use )

[spookylips]

no deffo not taking anything else at all

[FangAche]

No, don't think so. Its just not recommended during pregnancy.... purely because it does settle your hormones down and they don't really know what affects that could have on a pregnancy.

I really don't think they would market a substance specifically to women and sell it over the counter if there was a risk of Infertility!

[spookylips]

Fang - thats true about over the counter bit... ok so i can start taking them

[flamebat]

I don't know if it will effect the coil... it affects the normal pill..
