How long before getting pregnant do I need to stop taking dietary supplements?!


Question: How long before getting pregnant do I need to stop taking dietary supplements.?
I just bought a dietary supplement called ATRO-PHEX. It states not to use if pregnant or contemplating pregnancy. My husband and I don't plan to get pregnant until August or September, God willing. I'm a little worried how long the supplement will last in my body. I was planning to take it for 2 months and work out as hard as I can to get strong and healthy before conceiving but now I'm worried it will not clear my body before the time we are planning on getting pregnant. Can someone shed some light on my doubts and worries about taking this supplement .? Thank you :)Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I don't know anything specific about that supplement, but if it says not to use during pregnancy or if you are contemplating pregnancy there is a significant risk to the baby. Not only that, but if it's not good for the baby, it may not be good for you either. Your reason for using makes me thing it is some type of steroid. My opinion would be to not take it at all or at the very least, wait until after the baby is born (and done nursing if that is your choice). Why take the chance of harming the baby just to build some additional muscle.?Health Question & Answer

You would have to have this out of your system otherwise it can interfere with fetal development. Why would you even want to take supplements.? It messes up your metabolism and is not good in the long run. Not healthy for you at all. Just watch what you eat and exercise..theres no easy way out. Do you want to chance having a baby that has problems because you wanted to look good before. Pay attention to what the label says, they are there for a reasonHealth Question & Answer
