Hi, Thanks for using HCM..
According to studies it is shown that Fruta Planta contains sibutramine and because of that it causes so many side effects its use is no longer recommended.
As per it the side effect related to gynecology is painful menstruation.
Its effect on fertility is not highlighted.
So you better stop taking that product,
Consult local gynecologist get examined, take one ultrasound to see the status of your fetus.. take folic acid.

Hope I have answered your query. Good day
