      This is an X-Post that I've put on all 3 boards. Anyone here take St. John's Wort while ttc? Thanks, Candice

      Hi Ladies,

      I've been feeling overwhelmed and depressed, so about a week ago I started taking a natural herbal supplement/mood lifter called St. John's Wort. It's all natural and you can buy it at Whole Foods. Today I told the OB/GYN about it and she (aside from being very judgemental) said that I should stop taking it because it hasn't been studied. I know that they prescribe it in Europe for depression on a regular basis and have for years and years. This is the first time I've ever tried any sort of antidepressent at all.

      Since I am doing this alone (single), I hesitate to mention it to my RE because I don't want him to think I'm unstable or something (that's how this Doc today made me feel) and think I need to not be depressed to treat me. Heck, this whole thing is a large part of the depression!

      Anyhow use St. John's Wort or have input? I guess I can call my RE tomorrow and ask if needed...

      Thanks,
      Candice
