Align while TTC?

[bonadl2]

Hi Ladies!

I have a history of minor IBS and have been having symptoms flare up over the last month (so much gas -- probably from the stress of TTC!). Went to see the APRN and she recommended to start taking Align again to get myself back in balance, so to speak. Anyone know of any fertility side effects from taking a pro-biotic? Hoping it doesn't affect fertility in any negative way. I'm a few days (hopefully) from O and started taking it 4 days ago. Seems to be helping so I'd like to continue taking it for a few weeks.

Thoughts?

I would expect a probiotic to be safe to take during TTC. I'm no expert of course Read the packaging for Align, see if it's safe to take when pregnant, that may give you more info.

probiotics are safe through pregnancy, and very much encoraged. Get the good stuff from Whole Foods, make sure it's refigerated! It's worth the price difference

Thanks for the info. I didn't know Whole Foods had refrigerated stuff -- that's good to know. I'll check it out!!!
