A member asked:

Is it safe to take black cohosh with clomid (clomiphene) when trying to conceived?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: Black cohosh has estrogen properties and the Clomid (clomiphene) that you are taking has anti-estrogen properties causing a potential conflict.

Dr Minich agreed

No: Black Cohosh is listed as a hepatotoxin and cases of liver failure requiring transplant have been reported. Just because its "all natural" doesn't mean it's safe. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
