Firstly, I just want to say I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your baby boy last November. Hugs to you xx

I tried Vitex for approx two months before we conceived. My cycles were a bit wacky - my ovaries needed a lot of prompting (mainly through acupuncture, but also Vitex) to pop an egg. Both months I had minor bleeding approx 5-7 days after AF had stopped. The bleeding was only light and only lasted for 24-36 hours. I don't know if it was the Vitex though.

My naturopath/acupuncturist prescribed me Vitex, and as I was seeing her regularly I was comfortable with continuing to take it. So maybe if you're not sure, consult a naturopath for some advice about its pros and cons. Other than the slight bleeding, I had no other dramas with Vitex. One thing I do recall though is that I had to stop taking it after I had ovulated and recommence taking it when AF started.

Good luck with things.
