    Loula,
    I have heard from a few sources you should not take Vitex when doing IVF. Technically they do not want you to be on any forms of natural medicine eg. prescribed by naturopath, chinese medicine, as they don't really know how it is going to interact with the drugs. Vitex is supposed to target your progesterone and oestrogen levels and that is exactly what IVF drugs are targetting so it is a big no, no, so I think your second np is on the right track.
    Hope you have some luck - and boy it annoys me when I am jabbing myself with drugs and DH is in the garage smoking!!!! (and sometimes he sneaks in an illegal one as well!!! grrrrrrrrrr)
