I have a question about a couple herbs. I took milk thistle to clean my liver for two months. and then started taking dandelion root. after taking the dandelion root for 2 weeks I became pregnant. I have had two successful pregnancies without the use of herbs. my question is it safe to take these right before or during pregnancy? I stopped taking the dandelion root at about 4 weeks pregnant. I found out I was going to miscarry early. could it have been from the milk thistle detox or the dandelion root. I need to know, as we are wanting to get pregnant again.. thank you so much for your time.
Both herbs are known to support and nourish the liver and body, there is no reason to believe the miscarriage was directly related to the milk thistle or dandelion.
Here is an article on ways to nourish your body during pregnancy, which includes tonics to nourish and those to use with caution

Here is an article on herbal birth control methods, which includes a list of foods/herbs to avoid when trying to conceive or in early conception

The best thing you can do if you want to carry life is to focus on nourishment of your body, and understand the body is not in need to detox. Support your organs and they will do the cleaning as they are designed to do…
Sending love,

Trying to concieve but lining is giving problem.
I am a 33 year old woman with PCOS.
I am currently taking Metformine 500mg 3 times a day as prescribed by my GP. I have insulin for that I am taking Actos. However I have been doing an extreme amount of research on different type of herbs that can be taken to help me conceive I have been trying since 1 years for 2nd baby! I now have regular periods about every 29 days and also I m ovulating on 14day and also my GP told me that every time there are three eggs but still it is not concive because of my lining is thin.
Today is my 15 day of ovalation....
Is it ok to take Bitter melon for insulin???
I have read that - Red Raspberry leaf infusions and Nettle leaf infusions
when estrogen increases ovarian cysts and fibroids and endometriosis. Also, when conception appears to happen but is lost as early as the first few weeks because progesterone levels do not stay high enough.
I will look forward to hearing from you
Love and peace.
