Parsley – particularly parsley seeds and parsley seed oil, but really the whole plant – must be avoided too as it can cause untimely uterine contractions. A number of other herbs are also contraindicated. See this article for details: http://www.pregnancy-info.net/parsley-and-other-herbal-dangers.html

In reply to Shayla. This is such dangerous babble to those who consider pregnancy to begin at conception (aka the exchange change of chromosomes resulting in a unique individual). There should certainly be warning and clarification that it does not prevent conception bit rather, prevents implantstion of a fertilized egg. this is important to many and many have felt duped by this. Rightly so. it is an issue of INFORMED CONSENT.

In reply to Diane. Wow, I'm only 3 weeks with no children. 35 years old. Had ectopic pregnancy this time last yr. I almost bled to death not knowing I was pregnant. I want to make sure I'm doing everything perfect this time. Great article! Anything more u can post to enlightenment, please do so! I have anxieties/depression and take lexapro. I tried to get off for my pregnancy but I couldn't manage my life. I have a friend that took this drug while pregnant and her child has autism. Her other two older children she wasn't prescribed this drug and they r fine. Needless to say, I'm scared shish-less! Please pray for my pregnancy!

I have the two mutations listed in the beginning of your article. I am 76 now and I have had anxiety all my life, hypothyroidism(as well as my daughter), celiac disease, TB ( ate a perfect diet, but could not absorb nutrients due to celiac that was not diagnosed til I was 62 yrs old), also chronic fatigue immune difficiency, fibromyalgia,surgery for cervical stenosis, (again for poor absorption of nutrients due to celiac disease), and now inability to throw off the toxins from mold exposure and thus mold illness. And by the way, my daughter has had three miscarriages, has hypothyroid, and had surgery for cancer,and all three of her daughters have neurological issues. So it seems that all or most of the suppositions about MTHFR came to fruition in our family…more to come perhaps as time goes on. Thank you for your article. I was tested for MTHFR about two years ago.

The Morning After Pill (aka Plan B) is not an abortifacient. Pregnancy is defined as an embryo which has implanted into the uterus (although the embryo can incorrectly implant in other places such as the fallopian tube where the pregnancy is unlikely to progress very far without risking the life of the mother & embryo). The Morning After Pill prevents implantation, which means that no pregnancy existed at the time the pill was taken. Once implantation (pregnancy) occurs, the Morning After Pill will NOT work.

A true example of an abortifacient (something that ends an ACTUAL pregnancy) would be Mifepristone (also known as the abortion pill, RU 486, Mifegyn, Mifeprex), and Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec, Arthrotec, Oxaprost, Cyprostol, Mibetec, Prostokos or Misotrol).
