Just a small article i was reading:
"Red clover has documented phytoestrogenic activity-if you have a condition that prohibits you from taking estrogen supplements, you probably shouldn't take red clover supplements either. In extremely high amounts, red clover has been linked to miscarriage, certain birth defects, infertility, and growth disorders. Because estrogen has been shown to accelerate the growth of estrogen-dependent breast and gynecological tumors, people with a history of these growths should not take clover. Estrogen also increases the risk of blood clots-smokers, people taking birth control pills, and anyone with a history of heart disease or stroke should not take red clover without doctor approval."
Just being cautious about what you're taking while on birth control.
