Hi Elzi,

From what I've researched, Vitex works by regulating your cycle. Therefore it should help your long irregular cycles become more regular so that you know when ovulation is due. You may already know this but in case you dont - you don't necessarily ovulate on day 14 or exactly halfway through your cycle, but ovulation occurs 14 days before your period.

This info is sometimes only useful in hindsight, but if you take vitex and get your cylces regular, then you should start to know the length of what your cycles normally are and calulate ovulation by subtracting 14 days from the length of your cycle.

Vitex can also take 3 cycles to really get into your system before you start to see some improvements. It's annoying I know, but that is how it works!

As for m/cd- I know that vitex works by raising progesterone, and a drop in progesterone can cause m/c. have you had a blood test to check what your progesterone levels are like?

False Unicorn is a really excellent herb for fermale fertility. It can help women with PCOS and also help with heavy periods. It's very expensive tho, and as far as I know you can only get it through a naturopath.

Hope this has helped!
