Hormone treatment combined with herbal supplements = ok???

Hi everyone!

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past 13 months. My fertility doctor has now prescribed several hormone supplements. I need to take Letrozole (to help ovulation), Premarin (=estrogen to help build up uterin lining) and duphaston.

I was wondering if it is safe to combine this treatment with herbal supplements. I was thinking Evening Primrose Oil (period - ovulation), Flax Seed Oil (ovulation - period) and raspberry leaf tablets (all cycle).

Does anyone know whether this is ok? Doe anyone have any experience with this?

I'm no DR but these 3 you are talking about are totally fine, I really doubt it would be bad.  Have you tried acupuncture?
