No. Diet drugs have not been fully tested in pregnancy, for one thing, but more importantly such dieting can lead to poor nutrition. You want a healthy baby, so it is best to keep your system as drug free as possible. Some literature suggests one should try to be drug free -- including over the counter medications, for 3 months prior to seeking pregnancy. See medical journal abstracts.

Stop taking the diet drugs as soon as you know you are pregnant. Tell your physician you were on the drugs so that s/he is aware. Chances are your baby will be fine. You need to start eating a balanced diet as soon as you learn you are expecting.

Smoking, illicit drug use and alcohol use are never save during pregnancy. These substances increase your risk of having a miscarriage, a baby with birth defects or a premature baby. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a VERY serious problem during pregnancy so stopping during conceiving is important. Children whose parents smoke have a greater chance of dying from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and they also have more colds and ear infections while growing up.

I personally think a more appropriate question should be: what women would not benefit from charting her cycle? The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is an incredibly liberating and effective method of understanding your fertility on a day-to-day basis, whether or not you need contraception or an aid to pregnancy achievement. It also happens to be a wonderful tool for maintaining your gynecological health.

If it makes you feel more comfortable, yes, but only if you are doing it for yourself. It is not something you should feel as if you have to do. Some information out there suggests one should only attempt a 20-pound loss because of the gain-back potential, while others suggest getting down to your goal weight and staying there for a year.

Probiotic bacteria can be taken during pregnancy, while breast feeding, or while attempting to become pregnant. You should consider seeing a healthcare professional to determine if Align is right for you during this time.

No. As much we would like you to use LESSterol in order to assist you in your attempt to lower your cholesterol levels, we suggest that you do not use this product.

It used to be that women were encouraged to wait several cycles before trying to conceive following the use of the Pill. But nowadays, many physicians suggest trying shortly after discontinuing it, since some speculate there is a higher chance of conceiving within the first few months after stopping. When a woman comes off the Pill or other hormones, her cycles will usually revert back to the way they were before. However, the length of time it takes varies among women.

If you are attempting to get pregnant and find the need to allow your partner's genetic material to remain within you in hopes of conception, there may be an odor that may not be evident to your nose. So, if you've engaged in reproductive activities prior to the waxing appointment, please clean the external areas that may be exposed to the waxing and if at all possible, clean the internal areas to limit the odors that may arise from said fluid interactions.

Pregnancy can affect your vision, therefore if you are pregnant or trying to conceive, you should not have laser vision correction. You should wait several months after your pregnancy or after you finish nursing before having laser vision correction.

We cannot promise that the Insulite PCOS System will reverse infertility although we do know it can address several of the causative factors behind this condition. As stated on our website, losing weight and getting your insulin regulated will reduce ovarian cysts and additional hormonal imbalances, thereby enhancing your ability to conceive.

It is safe to continue trying to get pregnant while you are using the Insulite PCOS System. However, if you do get pregnant, we recommend that you discontinue taking the Insulite PCOS System supplements during your pregnancy, and then resume the supplements after you are finished breastfeeding. The reason is that, while we know that the Insulite PCOS System is safe and non-toxic in general, these supplements have not been tested in any clinical trials specifically on pregnant women or infants.

No. Pregnant, breastfeeding, or women trying to get pregnant should not be taking any kind of cholesterol lowering drugs because statins may cause birth defects.

Custom Essentials is not designed specifically as a prenatal multivitamin mineral. It does not contain extra amounts of certain nutrients, such as folic acid and iron, which can be needed in prescription amounts during pregnancy. Also, Custom Essentials is designed for your biochemistry, which may not match that of your baby's, and while it is in no way harmful, it might not supply all the needs of a growing fetus.

No, quite the contrary. Especially in old age, a slender figure and consuming highly nourishing, easily digestible protein is of great importance. After about the age of fifty, the absorption capacity of the gastrointestinal tract wanes considerably. Deficits develop, especially in the absorption and conversion of protein. As a result, the muscles start to shrink, the skin becomes slack, glandular functions decline, sexuality tends to wane, and the bones become brittle.

Yes, children respond very well to homeopathic drugs and it is absolutely safe for pregnant women to use homeopathic drugs.

No. although there is nothing in the formula that would have an adverse affect in pregnancy, weight gain in pregnancy is quite normal but to go on a weight reduction diet to limit this weight gain, could result in the baby not getting adequate nutrition for normal development. If weight gain in pregnancy is excessive (your Doctor would advise you of this) specialist help would be advised.

It's not a good idea to make a radical shift in your diet during pregnancy. You want to eliminate coffee, alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. As for other shifts, simply concentrate on eating the most nutrition-packed calories possible. That will naturally lower your fat intake and increase the grains and vegetables. If you are planning to become pregnant, however, you may want to make a dietary renovation part of your plan. Whatever you do, remember the growing embryo requires fuel.

We do not recommend the diet for women who are pregnant or nursing. As stored toxins are released during the cleanse they may be passed into the baby. The diet is very popular with women who have finished nursing however. It is safe to do the diet while taking the pill and we have never heard of the diet having any detrimental affect on “the pill’s” effectiveness. The Neera Super Cleanse as prescribed by Stanley Burroughs does not use any fiber in the diet.

The only antihypertensives that would have an effect on the male would be those that would cause difficulties with erection. The physician monitoring hypertension can select a drug that will have minimal effects. Yes. Marijuana is a well-known cause of fertility problems. It tends to cause hormonal problems as well as having a direct effect on the testicles. This can be with long-term as well as short-term use although short-term use tends to be reversible.

Yes. Use natural progesterone cream as recommended for menstruating women (apply cream after ovulation). Dr. Lee reports that the major cause of early pregnancy loss is the failure of the body to adequately increase progesterone. Low production during the weeks following fertilization can lead to miscarriage. Therefore, women having difficulty conceiving or at risk of miscarriage, should consider using natural progesterone supplementation and discuss its use with their physicians.

Pregnancy, trying to conceive, and guai are situations you should discuss with your gynecologist. Dr. St. Amand says it is safe to take 1200 mg. twice per day during pregnancy and conception attempts, but during pregnancy, the advice is always: Use nothing you don't absolutely have to. Most obstetricians allow resumption, or beginning use of guaifenesin after the sixth month when the baby is fully formed. Breast feeding has no seeming effect on babies whose mothers take guaifenesin.

Antiviral medication is not recommended when you are trying to become pregnant, so you should talk to your doctor before trying to conceive. First, you should have a blood test called type specific herpes serology to confirm that you are, in fact, not infected with genital herpes. If you do not have herpes, your partner should be counselled by his doctor on taking daily oral antiviral medication to decrease the risk of recurrences as well as the risk of transmission.

Reports indicate that the formula is helpful because of the beneficial effects on problems such as irregular menstrual periods, infertility, PMS, cramping, bloating, and irritability. We have generally seen improvement in these types of problems as soon as 3 weeks. The formula also helps to increase libido, which of course, is very helpful if you are trying to get pregnant! Women have generally seen improvement in these types of problems as soon as 3 weeks.

Fertility problems occur in about 15% of the population. Approximately 35% of couples with difficulty conceiving have more than one problem. A full evaluation is important to find out the exact cause of the fertility problem. Areas targeted for evaluation include the sperm count, ovulation, an analysis of the Fallopian tubes, and various hormones. After evaluation a treatment plan can be instituted. Sometimes a referral to an infertility specialist may be necessary.

Dilation and curettage (D & C) is a procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of gynaecological conditions. The D&C procedure does not usually lessen your chances of getting pregnant. If you have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year then you may want to talk to your doctor about the reasons for this and perhaps get a referral to a fertility specialist, who can determine whether there is a reason for your delay in getting pregnant.

To increase your chances of getting pregnant, it is recommended that you have intercourse as soon as you start to see the ferning pattern begin.

You should take a daily multivitamin with at least 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) of folic acid. Back to top

There are many types of diet pills and herbal, or natural, supplements that you can buy over-the-counter at a drug or discount store, or on-line. You can't assume that a product that is called "natural" or "herbal" is safe. It may also hurt you if you are on other medications. It is best to always check with your doctor before using any herbal or natural weight-loss product.
