Yes Leasha, vitex needs to be used with caution with PCO because it can increase LH levels to stimulate O. LH can be elevated in women who have PCO/S anway and more LH is definitely not needed because it can make things worse.
I have the book Women's Trouble by Ruth Tickey and Kaz Cooke which makes alternative recommendations for herbs better suited for PCOS.
Always important not to self-prescribe and get professional advice - then on the other hand - I went to a naturopath who totally stuffed up my cycles - made them disappear for 5 months with her stupid formula containing vitex amongst other things so not all so-called naturopaths are competent.
