GINGKO for IVF pregnancy

Hello to all,

I am about to have my embryo transfer through IVF and i am taking Gingko for about 6 years now for primary Raynaud’s. My ivf clinic seems to ignore it and when i asked if its safe they didnt say anything to stop hower I am reading that its best to stop it. Any advice? If i stop it would it embryo implantation and circulation? If i dont i am worries about embryo defects.

I can't answer your question, I would have thought doctors would have advised on ghinko. I do wish you every success on the IVF my daughter went through this, she now has 2 gorgeous boys. I have Raynaud's and haven't taken anything for it, so I may give ghinko a go. Good luck

I talked to my doctor and he said that i should stop Gingko especially as i am starting aspirin and heparin (both anticoagulants). But in general gingko is a herbal remedy that a lot of people with raynauds find very helpful including me! But for pregnancy is not ok!
