HELP! can herbal teas help you become pregnant?

Question

I read some where that different teas can help you when trying to get pregant? i found two thats ment to increase chances one is called Green tea and the other Raspberry leaf tea. Has any of these worked for you and is there any other tea or etc that can help?

Answer 1

They do help, but only take them orally ;-)

Answer 2

I haven't become pregnant by drinking a herbal tea but i would recommend that if you are seriously thinking about starting a family, you need some expert information in the first instance e.g. you need to take folic acid supplements about three months before you start trying to prepare your body.

I have also read that some women have found success through a combination of tailored herbal tea mixtures and accupunture. These tea mixtures also won't taste half as nice as Green Tea or Raspberry tea though!

I would say the chances of an 'off-the-shelf' herbal tea helping you get pregnant are slim - Your diet, exercise, work and home life can all make a big difference.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

I don't think tea will help you increase you chances of getting pregnant. I read about the benefits of Green Tea but did not remember seeing anything related to pregnancy. You could try this article though....

Answer 4

There is no possible way ANYTHING like this could possibly assist you.

In the few weeks I have been answering 'Health Answers' I have had my eyes really opened. I had no idea that such a high percentage of the population are so naive as to believe in the myths, potty patent medicines,illegal drugs,illegally purchased prescription only drugs, charlatans and just plain crooks, purporting or pretending that they can fix them.

First, have you been having regular unprotected intercourse with your partner for at least 18 months? Have either of you already had children?

The first think to do is get 2 basic tests,one each. You need a 'Day 21 Progesterone' blood test to confirm you are ovulating, and he needs a sperm count to prove he is fertile. If these 2 tests are normal, you need referral to a specialist infertility clinic.

Answer 5

Only sex will help you get pregnant , do not listen to old wives tales, if they really worked we wouldnt need fertility clinics , we'd all just sit at home supping tea and hey presto!

It can take up to a year to conceive and more than a year if you come off the pill and need a year to get that out of your system.

Less stress is found to help so I would go for massages and reflexology and make sure you and your partner have the treatment

Answer 6

Raspberry tea does not help getting pregnant..its used for the later stages of pregnancy to tone the uterus and make labour productive..

Answer 7

hello.......... the raspberry leaf teas one DOES work!! thats what i drank when we were trying for a baby and i got pregnant within a week or 2 after the docs told me that i couldnt have kids! hope this helps and good luck

Answer 8

Unlikely. What about synchronisation techniques where the sperm is there inside you at the time the you're ovulating? Seeing a gyno to check your and your partners fertility. These are the steps to take.

Answer 9

rasberry leaf tea, i know helps during pregnancy to relax bits inside that are mean to help for an easier labour.....i acnt remember wat it relaxes but i know that it does, i was told by many people to take it wen i was pregnant, but decided not too as for green tea i couldnt tell you really....its up to you if you wish to try it, i would just say take you time....enjoy the trying....hope it comes good for you soon

Answer 10

what ever you do do not drink rasberry leaf before 36 weeks!

its an abortion herb, used before 36 weeks can seriously harm the baby.

used after 36 weeks can help induce labour

Answer 11

They have other medicinal benefits, but I have never heard of them being helpful in getting pregnant.

Best way to get pregnant is to relax, stop 'trying' and it will happen soon enough!
