I'd definitely see another GP, you should be able to find out what is and isn't safe to take whilst TTC. It'll also be a good idea to ask your pharmasist as they'll be able to talk you through whats suitable and what isn't though I find they tread extremely cautiously and pretty much say take nothing.

Homeopathy is generally considered safe in pregnancy and whilst ttc. It's not like herbs as it is such a small amount of natural materials found in nature. In fact homeopathy is increasingly being used for pregnancy and labour as it is safe you can buy homeopathic pregnancy packs. Most GP's are not trained in homeopathy you would need to speak to a homeopath to find out the best things to take whilst pregnant. I used to have a brilliant gp who was also a homeopath but sadly she moved back to Germany where homeopathy is used more often than in the UK.
