Can I Take Food Supplements Along With Clomid?

I am recently taking clomid. Yesterday was my last pill. I also see an accupucturist. He recommended that I take fish oil, Wild Yam Complex, Ovex and symplex F. All of this is whole food supplements. The company is standard process. I am debating whether to take these or not. They are supposed to help with my fertility. I know clomid is suppose to be also. Can I take these and still use the clomid. I know this is going to be a complicated question. Please help.

Hi.. Ovex and symplex F supplements are mainly used to support the healthy functions of female reproductive organs such as ovary,fallopian tube etc.so you can continue taking ovex and symplex F as well as fish oil.These supplements regulate the progesterone and estrogen in body and regulate the sexual functions including release of eggs from ovary.There is no such sharp evidence about the wild yam complex. Diosgenin in wild yam is alternative to estrogen and it helps to relieve many pre-menopausal symptoms like hot flush ,irritability etc.It also helps to prevent nausea and vomiting in pregnancy but lack of evidence regarding release of egg to enhance the fertility.So you can continue taking ovex and symplex F apart from fish oil.I suggest not to use wild yam complex.
