Question

Has anyone ever taken Vitex before? The actual name is Vitex Agnus Castus.

I just bought the brand Solaray Vitex 400mg 2 days ago and the bottle says take up to 6 pills a day. So for the past 2 days I have taken 6 pills daily (2400mg) I feel fine! So my question is, is that too much to be taking? and I should mention I have PCOS so I'm using it to help get my BFP! any advice would help? How much did you take? for how long did you take it? and did it help regulate your cycle? and did you get a BFP!?

I took this in January for the same reason I was on 2-3 1000mg a day. I found out after taking these that if you have regular cycles anywhere up 35 days is normal then it won't work and can make your cycles longer. I found out the hard way I had a 55 day cycle and AF for nearly two weeks which was heavy. I had a scan whilist taking it and got my results after AF and i was found to have no cysts and to be very healthy. I am on metformin.
If you do take it remember to stop taking it once you have ovulated as it is highly dangerous to unborn babies. Hope it works for you Good luck.
