Nausea

Headaches

• Herbalheals.com notes that Fertility Blend can cause headaches in some women due to hormonal changes.

Hot Flashes

• Although Fertility Blend balances a woman's hormones naturally, some women may experience hot flashes as a result, especially if the product is not taken as directed.

Drug Interactions

• Fertility Blend for Women should not be taken with prescribed fertility drugs, like clomiphene citrate, or during other fertility procedures because it may interfere with these drugs.

Benefits

• Despite these side effects, a study published in April 2004 "Journal of Reproductive Medicine" proved the effectiveness of Fertility Blend. Twenty-six percent of participants taking the supplement conceived, while only ten percent of the participants in the control group got pregnant. As with any substance, it is up to the individual and her doctor to determine if a product is safe.
