From your question it sounds like you only took the herbs for a day or two. In my experience, herbs don't work overnight. It takes time to bring about significant hormonal change. You did not say when you took the herbs - how long between the time you took them and the time you found you were pregnant. Assuming that it has been a couple of days at least, the effect will have worn off by now. I agree with what others here have said - Avoid self-prescribing herbs during pregnancy! Also, please be assured that a miscarriage is not an indicator of future success or failure and neither is menstrual difficulty. Each pregnancy is as different as the child it produces. Now that you are pregnant, you have one goal - becoming a healthy Mom. Your baby can only be as healthy as you are. Focus on eliminating stress - try some simple forms of meditation. Try to connect emotionally with your baby. If you can tune in to your body and your baby, you may get the internal reassurance you need. Give your attention to a healthy diet, fresh air and sunlight, and plenty of water and rest. Find something to make you laugh every day! For a healthy diet, avoid sugar, genetically modified foods, hydrogenated oils, and synthetic vitamins. The best multi-vitamin in the world is a glass of fresh raw vegetable juice - store bought bottled juices are too high in salt and they are not raw. Consider getting a juice machine - it will be a wonderful asset for you and later for your baby. I suggest 24 - 36 oz daily of fresh juices made from carrot, romaine lettuce, celery, spinach, kale, cucumber, tomato - pretty much any vegetable you like, but keep the fruit juices to a minimum. If medical interventions are stressful to you, consider finding a qualified midwife to help you manage your pregnancy and delivery. Midwives have an excellent track record for safe deliveries and are known for less "medicalizing" of the whole process.They also know how to handle herbs during pregnancy. I pray you will have a happy healthy pregnancy and a happy healthy baby.
