    Red face Vitex Question - Need some advise

    Hi Girls

    So I have heard allot of good things about Vitex and have been doing allot of research. I hear allot of girls that are taking Vitex that have PCOS. I have had PCOS for about 7 years now and have just recently started my first round of Clomid.

    I really wanted to try and give Vitex a go but I have read alot on Medication info sites that Vitex has a caution of not using while you a pregnant. So my question is if I am trying to conceive would this not be recommended??

    Just wanted some advice as it seems that allot of girls on soul cysters and this site are taking it.

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't really have an advice because I am very new to this myself, but I wish you all the best and I hope you find the answers that you are seeking

    I wouldn't recommend using Vitex. I had two early miscarriages whilst on it. You have to stop taking it when pregnant and as soon as I did that I would m/c. I stopped taking it and the very next pregnancy stuck and I now I have a son.

    I used Vitex but only until I knew I had ovulated. It regulated my cycle and reduced it to 27 day cycles from 35 - 39.

    I would see a naturopath or someone to advise you on it first.
    Actually, I would see an acupuncturist/chinese herbalist, they can give you some herbs to help your cycle as well as the acupuncture Good luck!

    ETA- your chart is looking good!
