    My BIL who was once married to a midwife told me to take this all through my pregnancy. Apparently it keeps the innards intact and helps with delivery. I hadn't heard about it being used for those TTC. Does Whole Foods not carry it?

    Red Zinger tea has raspberry leafs in it and it's "recommended" to induce labor, ie: for me right now

    Delurking, as I am not PG...

    I got it in pill form at Whole Foods.

    As for taking it during TTC, it is supposed to help lengthen the luteal phase.

    I'm no expert, but I'd read that Raspberry leaf tea should be avoided in pregnancy because they can cause miscarriage. (see quote below)

    Tracking basal body temperature and cervical mucus worked very well for my husband and I - if  you are not already doing this you might consider it. I'd be scared to try a tea that has even a chance of causing miscarriage. 

     

    "Many of the herbs used for teas, when taken in large or medicinal amounts, can potentially stimulate the uterus and induce miscarriage. These include anise, catnip, chamomile, comfrey, ephedra (called ma huang in traditional Chinese medicine), European mistletoe, hibiscus, horehound, Labrador, lemongrass, licorice root, mugwort, pennyroyal, raspberry leaf, rosemary, sage, sassafras, stinging nettle leaf, vetiver, and yarrow.

    My periods off the pill were so bad, so someone recommended drinking it to help with my cycle. ?I did this past month, one cup every day. ?I am not sure if I should drink it now that I am pregnant. ?I am going to ask at my appointment in am.?

    I drank it while TTC- I drank a cup a day for the first part of my cycle just until ovulation then you don't drink it until the next cycle. ?I don't now if it helped but it was worth a try we tried for 10 months and started drinking the tea the last 3 months. ?

    I also read you aren't supposed to drink it early in pregnancy but that it can help in 3rd trimester.

    I bought mine at a health food store.?
