NOOOOOOOOOOO!

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

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 · 24/10/2005 12:34

no deffo not taking anything else at all

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!

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

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