Melatonin?

Question

I’ve looked online but couldn’t find anything, I am TTC and I take melatonin on occasion to help me fall asleep. Does anyone know of any reason why I should stop while pregnant or TTC? 
I’ve been trying to be more conscious of what I put in my body and haven’t considered this until recently since I only do it about once a week.

Answer

I took it my last pregnancy, my doctor says it’s fine. Works wonders. I only took it every once in a while though.

Answer

I take it sometimes and I’m 27 weeks. My dr said it was fine. Don’t see a reason to not take it occasionally.

Answer

Melatonin is safe in pregnancy.

Answer

Your body naturally makes melatonin  which is why you get sleepy, fall asleep and stay asleep. So it wont do anything harmful. I'd worry about the type you are getting make sure that it is actually melatonin. Be wary of buying supplements online as they can put literally anything in it and call it melatonin. I would go to a gnc or a vitamin shoppe somewhere in person.

Answer

I’ve read that it does not help with fertility

Answer

I found melatonin to make me draaaaag the next day because I was so groggy after taking it.
I sometimes will use sleepytime herbal tea on very rare occasion & I feel like I actually get some rest!

Answer

It's fine short term just no one knows long term impact.
