My cycles have become fairly regular after continuing with Vitex. I have also been taking Don Qui in tea form. I was wondering, is it alright to take Don Qui all cycle long or only during certain time when my body needs the most help (i.e. right before/during ovulation and before menstruation)? Also, I have been drinking Red Raspberry Leaf tea, is this ok to drink all cycle long? I quite enjoy it.

Thank you.

If you are actively trying to conceive you should only use Dong Quai up to ovaulation and not afterward incase you become pregnant. Red Raspberry is fine all month long, except in cases where you have a history of recurrent miscarriage. In very rare cases women who used Red Raspberry Leaf infusions regularly during the first trimester who had a history of miscarriage may miscarry again due to its ability to cause uterine contractions. In a woman that is not at risk this may actually strengthen the uterus.
