green tea question

GregermisGregermis member
in Trying to Get Pregnant
I know that they say to avoid some teas when you do get pregnant because there are some weird natural ingredients that they just don't know will harm a pregnancy one way or the other.  The green tea that I am drinking has Cat' Claw Bark Extract and Kombucha (??).  I guess I'm wondering if it matters if I drink this while TTC or if anyone knows if these are bad later on?  TIA

    I don't know about Kombucha but as for Cats Claw no it shouldn't be taken during pregnancy.

    There are not enough actual studies about it to accuratly determine it's safety. I did find one website that specifically states that cats claw may cause miscarriage and has negative effects on the immune system so no one with a comprimised immune system should take it.

    As for the green tea, you're not supposed to drink it after you O because it can stimulate uterine contractions.

    Good luck!

    Personally I wouldn't. You stop drinking the green tea at ovulation because of uterine contractions so I don't think it would be bad. There probably isn't enough of the actual cats claw root in the tea to make a difference either. BUT the root has been used in South America since Inca civilization to treat a variety of things as well as a form of birth control.
