Cohosh Root
Need some help about a women in balance supplement??

I had a baby almost 8 months ago, and ever since then my hormones have been really of out it, and earlier this month i bought some supplements from a place called "Herbal Healer", called "Women in Balance"... Its All Natural, and for all women of all ages.
Well, i started spotting about 13 dpo, and never started my period.Meanwhile, im still taking these supplements..Till last thursday, when i kinda suspected i *might* be pregnant.
Last friday,sunday and monday, i took 4 pregnancy tests and all came out dark positives.
Here is what's in them..
Soy Isoflavones, Kava Kava, Wild Yam Extract, Licorice4:1 extract, Dong Quai powder, Red Raspberry powder, Black Cohosh extract, chasteberry, ginger Root Powder, red clover and Ginkgo standardized extract.
Does anyone know if any of these would make a positive pregnancy test result? or am i really pregnant? i asked my naturopath dr, and she said they shouldnt, but stop taking them and test again next week... what do yall think? Thanks!

I'm sure you are pregnant.
I hope you've already stoped taking these pills.
I am looking at my herbal remedies book.
Can't find Kava Kava.
Wild Yam is an anti inflamitory, and antiseptic. It is the starting point for synthesization of hormones for the contraceptive pill and for natural progesteron. Used for cramps and arthritus, and other types of pains, and nausia.
Licorice has many medicinal uses, it should be avoided in pregnancy, large doses can cause water reention and exacerbate high Blood Pressure, and near due date can cause labor pains.
Dong Quai I can not find.
I don't have red raspberry, But raspberry leaves it says Used to promote an easy birth by tonifying the uterus. and is an astringent , antiseptic, can be used to treat diareah and thrush, It says to avoid in early pregnancy except with poffesional advise, best taken durring last three months.
Can not find Black cohosh extract. But this website has some interesting information, and says that the affects on pregnancy have not been rigorously studied, so not to take it unless under health care suppervision.http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/BlackCohosh.asp
Ginger Root says you should excersise caution, if you have had a history of miscarriage. Its a Digestive Aid, and if used in large doses can bring on menstruation.
Red clover I can not find.
Ginkgo Improves blood flow, anti inflamitory, relaxes lungs, it has many uses.

This website says kava kava is likely unsafe, raspberry, and ginger root is most likely safe, Dong qui and Black cohosh are most likely unsafe. And contains more information on herbal used durring pregnancy. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/naturalherbsvitamins.html

It seems that many of these have been found that they can cause complications durring pregnancy. I would just make sure your doctor is aware, that you were taking these, because if you do have problems, it might make it easier for your doctor to diagnose them. I would not worry about the long run. You didn't know you were preganant, You haven't been pregnant that long, and if you have stopped taking them and you don't have any problems so far, don't worry, everything is probably fine, and stress won't do your pregnancy any good. Even the ones it says not to use durring pregnancy, it says only under a doctors care, so hopefully its not any thing that bad, if its possible to use it under a doctors care. I wish you the best, and have a happy pregnancy.

About Nature's Way America's leader in herbal medicine.If you've heard of Nature's Way, or better yet, used their products, it's not surprising. They have been America's leader in herbal medicine for over 40 years. As the pre-eminent provider of health and healing through the power of nature, their commitment to quality reflects their commitment to you. In fact, it's woven into the very story of their founding. A family crisis and an herbal renaissance.Nature's Way originated from a circumstance everyone can understand-a family's desperate need to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of "medicinal plants" growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an additional 25 years. Tom Murdock's pioneering spirit did more than save a life-it led to the renaissance of herbal medicine in America.   Notes : Free Shipping on Orders Over $100 Stock Status : in-stock
