Invisible Pink OB RN answered 3 years ago

Its a myth that Vitamin C will stop or prevent a pregnancy from happening!

No truth whatsoever and if you take TOO much you could develop kidney stones - I promise you you don't want that!

No its not true, Vitamin C is a water soluble material so if your body takes in to much it is flushed out by your kidneys....which can cause kidney stones this would protect the fetus. Vitamin C is a way to boost your immune system not prevent pregnancy!!

This is true.
It is impossible to get hypervitaminosis C, the most you will get is diarrhoea.
I had to ask my mum, who has studied nutrition at length as I have been craving anything fresh orange related.

No, vitamin C will not cause a miscarriage. The body flushes out all additional vitamin C. Do not attempt to take too much Airborne as it can lead to kidney failure. Go see the doctor again and request the pill that causes miscarriage if you do not want to have a surgical abortion.

Can Vitamin C stop early pregnancy?

• Britny asked 5 years ago

My friend is very young and she is worried that she might be pregnant. She wants to do all she can to prevent this pregnancy. I've heard that overdosing on vitamin c can stop an early pregnancy. Is this true? And are there any other ways to stop an early pregnancy?

Please let me know if you are aware of any methods.
Thank you in advance

Ehh,technically yes. Though I have not tried it. I do know though if you are pregnant,extremely large doses it can result in miscarriage. So...take that into consideration. IF you are going to do this - DO it as soon as possible!

(Another option)
If it has been 72 hours or less since the 'incident'. Seek medical attention. Get Plan B(emergency contraception.)

_From an online source_
If you are trying to avoid pregnancy and cannot afford traditional birth control, purchase Vitamin C. When you buy the bottle of this vitamin, be sure it contains only ascorbic acid. This acid is the pure Vitamin C. Your best bet to be positive you are only getting Vitamin C is to buy the cheaper version. No combination vitamins!

Vitamin C has the ability of making the uterus an unfriendly environment for the implantation of a fertilized ovum.

If your period is late, you can take a large dose of Vitamin C to induce your period. This works well if your period is only a few days to a week late. The dosage used most often to bring on a period is 1500 mg, twice in a day.

Have plenty of menstrual pain relief medication on hand(Ibuprofen is good for that). A period induced with Vitamin C can have stronger cramps than your normal period.

Vitamin C ... =(

Here's what I have learnt from google today...

Vitamic C can actually avoid conception, and prevent pregnancies....
Oh no....remember that day I ate SOOOOO MANYYYYY fruitssss which contain TONSSSS of Vitamin C **click here**
Hmm...tak tau nak pecaya ke tak...mcm tak nak pecaya je.....benar ke ni??

Jom baca...

Vitamin C also know as Ascorbic acid can be used in a variety of ways to prevent conception. Of course the best prevention is to keep the sperm out of the vagina in the first place. If, for example, a condom breaks, or unprotected intercourse occurs during a woman's fertile time, two tablets may be placed within the vagina next to the cervix as soon as possible. This increases the acid levels in the vagina. The sperm need an alkaline environment to survive; fertile mucus.

The sooner the better in this usage, if fertile mucus is present you can bet those little sperms will be swimming hard, and as soon as they get inside the cervix's trapdoor they are safe. There is no guarantee that this will be 100% effective, but by reducing the number of sperm that actually make it inside the cervix, greatly reduces chances that the remaining sperm will actually complete the journey up into the fallopian tube, they have two fallopian tubes to choose from and no way of knowing which is the one holding the egg, find and penetrate the egg. You can see why millions of sperm are released with each ejaculation. But remember it only takes one healthy determined sperm with a bit o'luck on his side to do the job.

Tablets of Vitamin C could also be placed inside the vagina just before intercourse, giving them just enough time to dissolve. Hopefully making things acidic enough to kill the sperm upon ejaculation. This can be irritating however, and another source only recommends this in emergency situations. ¹². 1 or 2 500 mg tablets (non-chewable) placed inside the vagina immediately following unprotected sex, or condom rupture, twice a day for 3 days. Soothe afterwards with aloe vera and acidophilus If you are interested in home made spermacides you may want to check out what I have collected about this topic.

If you know fertilizing intercourse took place less than 72 hours ago, you might want to consider Emergency Contraception offered by the medical establishment, as it may be more effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy, find out more for yourself.

Vitamin c can be taken internally as an emergency contraceptive during the time between ovulation and when menstruation is expected. Apparently the ascorbic acid interferes with the production of progesterone. Progesterone is needed to prepare the uterus for pregnancy as well as maintain a pregnancy.

macam tak puas hati lah.....vitamin C interferes with progesterone...dah la level progesterone I always low...no wonder lah sampai skarang my boobs tak sakit2 lagi....tak mcm my previous pregnancies... =(
hopefully there is still hope....
