Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE: It seems the company has added a few more sentences to their instructions. I can definitely say they were not there when I purchased the product. I also just checked the bottle I still have and nothing there either. They are, "This product works best for women with irregular cycles and requiring hormonal support. Consult your healthcare professional for women with regular cycles before using this product." It seems this is their way to address the many negative reviews that touch on this. Unfortunately, they still have in there to continue taking the pills through the first trimester. Since these are not FDA approved and contain powerful herbs this statement should be completely removed. There also is no proof that this product is "best" for women with irregular cycles. And ALL supplements, especially ones taken DURING pregnancy should be consulted with a healthcare professional, not just women with regular cycles. Read on if you'd like to hear my story. I got pregnant the first month of taking these. We had just started trying the month before, so not long - I just wanted to boost conception. I have regular periods but noticed I was ovulating later in my cycle. When we went for our 8 week ultrasound we were devastated to learn that our baby had stopped developing at 6 weeks. No heartbeat. I had all the pregnancy symptoms still up until that point so it was a complete surprise. My body has yet to expel anything so I will need to undergo a D & C. I would not wish this feeling on anyone. My skin also broke out like crazy through the pregnancy. I have seen other reviews mention horrible breakouts while taking these. I have absolutely no idea if these vitamins played any role in the miscarriage. Miscarriages are common and the majority of people taking these vitamins might already have fertility/miscarriage issues to begin with. There is no way to find out for sure. I can say that I will try everything I can to have a different outcome next time. Update** I’ve just had my 2week post op follow up with my dr. I asked her what she thought about these prenatals, and because I believe everyone needs to be informed about what they put into their bodies, this is what she said... 1. There is no where near enough iron to meet the requirement of a pregnancy 2. She highly recommended against taking them because of the herbal blend. She especially pointed out the Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex) as it being a very powerful herb and there is no telling how each woman’s cycle and system would respond. 3. Stinging Nettle should be avoided in pregnancy as should Ashwagandha. 3. Most herbs (including ones in this formulation) should be stopped immediately upon first learning of a pregnancy. Unfortunately, there don’t exist any real trials on using herbs on pregnant women because it is too risky. So this prenatal I have no doubt has helped many to become pregnant, but on the other side it may also be too risky to take to carry on a healthy pregnancy. There might be something to them creating non viable pregnancies. This really needs to be looked into. After my miscarriage, focusing on a future healthy pregnancy is much more important to me than any urgency to simply becoming pregnant. Latest Update: I am currently 10 weeks pregnant. This baby has been closely monitored because of our previous miscarriage. I am happy to report everything looks great! Healthy heartbeat and growth every week. We got to see our baby moving on an ultrasound yesterday. I’ve been using prenatal vitamins recommended and prescribed by my doctor. Be careful with herbs!!!
