[Here are some things to avoid!

Herbs to Avoid During Pregnancy

Various sources have recommended avoiding the following herbs during pregnancy. These herbs should also be avoided after ovulation, in case you may be pregnant.

Barberry Bloodroot, Calamus Cascara, Sagrada Fennel Flaxseed,
Goldenseal Juniper, Lavender Licorice Root, Male Fem Mayapple,
Mistletoe Passion Flower, Pennyroyal (a strong uterine stimulant!!!),Periwinkle Poke Root Rhubarb, Sage St. John's Wort
Tansy Thyme, Wild Cherry Wormwood, Yarrow

Here is a recipe that i found ( i havnt tried it let me know if anyone has any feed back on it)!

~ Fertility Brew ~

1 oz. dried RED CLOVER BLOSSOMS


1 oz. dried NETTLE LEAVES


1 oz. dried RASPBERRY LEAF

Prepare an infusion of these herbs using 1 quart of boiling water.

Steep herbs overnight. Strain and drink freely throughout the day.

You may add 5-15 drops of EITHER Dong Quai tincture OR False Unicorn Roottincture to 1 cup of the above infusion ONCE DAILY. (In other words, if you drink all 4 cups of the infusion in 1 day add one of the tinctures to only 1 of those cups of infusion.)

Has anyone tried this? I am kinda of scared as to how it would taste

In one of my local grocery stores it has some holistic tea, one is for breastfeeding women and I believe one is supposed to help women who are TTC, I will have to investigate this further!
