Question

Vitex did it help? Lots of questions!

I am looking into taking vitex. I've looked into it before and could never decide on a dose or what kind to buy so I just didn't. My last 2 cycles have been kind of funny so here I am looking again. I have loads of questions!
How long did it take to get your bfp? What dosage are you supposed to take? I think I want the capsules. What kind is best? Walmart has a ton of different kinds!
About myself... I have irregular cycles between 28-36 days. Generally I think cd16 is mostly normal for me I guess. 15 day LP almost religiously though. I generally have very short about 3 day af that is very painful sometimes to the point it makes me sick to my stomach although this cycle it was 5 days spotting on 6 and less painful. 3 miscarriages. Last cycle after O I noticed leaking from the nipple. NEW... Sorry for tmi! But I noticed it yesterday again! I'm cd10 today. I heard could be high prolactin level? Anyway... Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

I just started Vitex 80mg 2 tabs every morn on an empty stomach 24 days ago bc of 2 consecutive anovulatory cycles and low progesterone.. I'm a 32-35 day cycle usually. You won't notice a real difference the first month..considering this is my first month and my bbt chart isn't showing a rise in temps (check my page)...however I've noticed..more cm then usual..EWCM too and ovary pain around my only spike in temp and slightly sore nipples. Now I'm not sure if this is the Vitex working bc that would be really fast or just my screwed up hormones playing games with me.... I feel like I did have a weak ovulation but unsure. I'm going to keep using Vitex for the next few months..but will visit my OB to check to see if I can up the dose for the 2nd month.

There's a lot of good benefits to it and its a natural way of regulating your hormones.
