For all:

Do not go over any amount listed on a side of a bottle of medicine! Drugs have a limit for a reason. Going against what they advice can cause death. Even if I tell you to take more of something don't do it as I am probably making a stupid mistake because I am not a doctor. In the end you are the one responsible for your own health.

DO NOT DO HOME IUI. Do not place anything into your uterus. No tubes no matter what kits you find on the Internet. The reason for this is you can cause great infection and death. There are 3 parts to the vj (simplified). The main area of the vj (where the penis goes), then the cervix (this dips down like a cone and has a hole in the middle leads a tunnel up into the uterus) and the uterus. Where this post is talking about is inside the cervix (up in the tunnel) and into the uterus.

Too much water or to fast can lead to death

Too much copper will kill you.. NEVER TAKE MORE THAN 3mg A DAY (sometimes copper is found in multi vitamins)

You need to take one pill at a time. If you take more than one it may get stuck near your esophagus and cause an esophagus ulcer. More info read this

**all other supplements have there risks and side effects posted in the FAQ forum.. these are just the most dangerous ones. For a list of how much is to much.. please read the FAQ.. I put the max amount aloud there.

*If you ever experience a serious side effect caused by swaying please let us know right away so we may update this list.

For ttc a boy:

Alfalfa mixed with Black Cohosh.. for that mater black cohosh (or blue) is very dangerous. taking alfalfa with Cohosh can cause your liver to die needing a donner or you die.

Too much potassium (more than 5000mg total): Taking to much potassium to fast can cause heart problems.. which can also lead to death. But more likely an embarrassing er visit explaining to the er doc why your taking so much potassium and how it makes your heart have palpitations. read this

Saw Palmento- Can not be taken in the 2ww or when Pregnant can not be taken while breast feeding. "It may have an additive effect if taken with anti-androgen drugs that reduce the levels of male sex hormones, such as finasteride (Prosca, Propecia) or flutamide (Eulexin). In theory, it could interfere with birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy in women." "saw palmetto can cause erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. Also, if you have cholesterol problems, saw palmetto might not be the drug for you because it beta-sitosterol." read warnings

Douching- Real douching does have a risk for etopic pregnancy. However you are not doing that kind of douching for swaying. The hour before douche can not cause etopic. The followup douche isn't a douche because it is only using 1-3ml of liquid and so will not cause etopic pg. Do not douche (use an entire douche bag) right after bd as this is what can cause etopic pg. read this
