I just read on a sticky that Vitex is linked to MC.
I put a call in to my naturopath and she said everything is contraindicated in Pregnancy, which we all know is true. However, she said she has treated thousands of patients with vitex, and specifically hundreds with low progesterone during pregnancy, and has definitely averted miscarriage, not caused it. She said the reason why it's so good is because it has an almost immediate impact on hormone production (danged if I can understand why the IVF doctors don't recognise this and use it in treatment) in women who are deficient.
She also said it is in liquid form in my herbal tonic. So there you go - my advice to anyone else using Vitex is use it strictly under supervision, as it seems to be a pretty powerful herbal remedy, and not to be messed with.
OP.
