Has anyone ever heard of the vitamin St. Johns Wort to help with trying to conceive?? I was talking to my mom earlier and she said that an ex g/f of my uncle was trying to get pregnant a few years back. trying for 12 years I guess! Well she took St. Johns wort to help and she got pregnant 3 months later! Has anyone else heard of this at all?? I know it is supposed to help with mood disorders and stuff but with conceiving? Do you think that it was just a coincedence or if the vitamin actually helped her?? Thanks!!

Okay see i just don't understand how this would help with trying to concieve at all. it just makes no sense to me.

I don't know about it working for TTC but I do know that it makes birth control ineffective. I remember when i was in college we got a lecture in the girls dorm about St Johns Wort. We were told that girls were getting pregnant because they were taking it and it made the pill not work. I hope this helps.

Ok let me just warn you that St. John's wort is harmful to take WHILE pregnant. As for helping to concieve I don't know, but wanted to share that with you.
