I would give this one a pass. Using red rasp. leaf tea will accomplish the same thing without the same level of risk to your sway.

I didn't plan to drink it during pregnancy. All these things I'm asking are for my next sway so I won't be starting anything before this baby is 1 year old or so, so probably next August. Except for weights maybe.

I'm afraid Red Raspberry Leaf also lowers blood sugar Red Raspberry Leaf Tea – Fertility , Pregnancy and Birth « Rootedforlife's Blog but if you feel it's safer and DOES NOT SWAY PINK ( which is the most important lol) I'll take it instead of Whitehorehound tea.

How about Soy Isoflavones for mature moms? Do you think I might benefit from them once I start TTC again or they are not necessery?

I know it's meant for your sway, but the chemicals in some herbs can stay in your system and affect your body even after you stop using them, or can affect your body in other ways that may not be good for pregnancy.

I also know RRLT is said to lower blood sugar but I've seen several people get boys while drinking it. I have not seen anyone get a boy while drinking horehound tea.

If you're not ovulating, then soy iso may help get things started. I've seen both boys and girls conceived while taking soy iso so I have mixed feelings on them.

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks! :)

RRLT it is then! :bluecheer:

About soy: I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating on my own and I hope I'll continue in the future lol! So no soy:)
