TTC and herbal tea (red raspberry leaf)

I am hoping one of you ladies has some insight on this. I am currently at the start of my TWW and trying to do everything I can think of to increase my chances. I have read that red raspberry leaf tea is great to use during pregnancy but it can also help induce labor. I am not sure about using it during early pregnancy or TWW, as I have read conflicting information. At an early stage can it help strengthen the uterus or cause a MC?

I purchased some and its sitting on my kitchen counter because I am scared to use it. Also the literature from my RE's office warns against using herbal supplements so I am reluctant to ask my RE as I'm pretty sure she would say no.

Thanks everyone in advance for your help. I wish you all happy and safe holidays and 2013 babies! :D

    I can't offer too much insight, but I had read very similar things to you online about it. There are certainly accounts of women drinking a glass a day through TTC to Labor Day and not having any trouble - it is supposed to help with labor. However, I, personally, was more conservative - I would take it up to ovulation and then I was considering taking it at the very end of pregnancy -- should I get there ;) - after 37 weeks. However, the first month I took it I noticed such a dramatic change in my period it put me off it. I will say Fertiltea has Red Raspberry Leaf and tons of folks on here drink that and I've never heard of any issue.

    Good luck with whatever you decide!
