Are there any records on taking Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) during pregnancy safely?

There are a great number of people who prescribe LDN for fertility issues, they prescribe LDN to help patients become pregnant, and they advise that they continue to take the LDN all the way through the pregnancy and the breastfeeding process. However, those are specialists and they're monitoring very carefully. 

Most prescribers will not prescribe you or be insured, in fact, to prescribe or dispense LDN to you for the purposes of increasing your chances of becoming pregnant or during pregnancy or breastfeeding. 

In fact, it's an exclusion criterion for all of our prescribers. As our insurance point blank said they wouldn't insure someone who hadn't been referred by a specialist in that field. If you're looking to take LDN to help with fertility, link up with a specialist clinic first. In the UK, most people go to NeoFertility Clinic in Dublin, but there are a number of clinics all around UK and U.S who do that.
