Last October I lost my baby do to Trisomy 18. I am 43 and want to know if my age had anything to do with it. Could it have been the quality of my egg or perhap the quality of the sperm. Also, I would like to do a body cleanse but I am allergic to some plants: ragweed, pollen,etc. I read that is you took "Milk Thistle" preconception (3-4 months before) that it can prevent morning sickness, is this true. I purchased Milk Thistle but had to stop it because I broke out into a rash on my face. After research, I read that Milk Thistle is in the ragweed family. What products do you recommend?

It is hard to say what the cause could have been with out testing, but age can play a factor into hormonal balance and egg health. The Fertility Cleanse does have milk thistle in most of the products so it may be not be the best idea for you due to your allergies. To help increase egg health you may want to look into the Improve Egg Health Kit. It contains fertility superfoods and supplements that help to promote healthier eggs.

Milk thistle is used to help prevent morning sickness because of its cleansing action on the liver. It helps the liver to metabolize excess hormones which may be one of the causes of morning sickness.

Hope that helps!
