4 days late and currently doing candida cleanse and herbs, safe?

[turtlemamameg]

So I am 4 days late and currently doing candida cleanse and herbs (heavy goldenseal, oregano, clove, ginger, wormwood and evening primrose and all the sudden I amrealizing that these herbs may be really bad if it is actually true that I am pregnant. I will get a test tomorrow, but at this point I don't know if this means I should skip all my doses until I take the test...do you think this warrants an after hours call to the doctor...

Does anyone know if the candida cleanse would cause my cycle to change?

Nervous that I could have done damage already???

I would say stop until you have a test result. I don't think you would have done any damage already, so don't stress it. But it really isn't a good idea to cleanse or detox in the early stages of pregnancy because all of the yuckies go into your and baby's bloodstream when your body releases them. Like I said, you haven't done anything wrong. Women do all kinds of things before they realize they're pregnant and it seems like you'll find out early. No worries, but I would wait until you know for sure.

I would strongly suggest stopping immediately.. those are really strong herbs... one thing for an adult another thing altogether for a developing embryo. If you're not pregnant a one or two day pause isn't going to have that much of an affect on your cleanse.
