Is it safe to take these herbs & be on the contraceptive pill?

Hi, I am planning on taking Fenugreek, Saw Palmetto, Wild Yam, Red Clover and Pueraria. Is it safe to take these herbs as well as being on the contraceptive pill? Also, are there any herbs I can take as a replacement to the ones on my list that would be safe with the pill?
Hope someone can answer my questions.
Many thanx, and good luck to everyone.

I'm almost certain that it's not recommended to take Pueraria whilst on the pill.
I did PM ( Pueraria Mirifica) for 5 months and wouldn't recommend mixing it with other herbs either. It is very strong and seems to act in a different way from other herbs.
Happy growing!

Yip, just as I thought. Will cut and paste the following -
ATTENTION! If you are pregnant, nursing, taking birth control pills or if you have/or been diagnosed with tumors in estrogen sensitive organs such as ovaries, uterus and/or the breast, or are under 20 years of age and still developing naturally, please do not use this product.
(Birth control pill users can use the Cream).

So there you have it. At least you can use the Pueraria cream which is really good :-)
Take care!!!

Thanx loads for the info! I will definately be replacing Saw Palmetto with Nettle and Pueraria caps with the cream.
