Advice please is Vitex messing up my cycle?

[Lunalotus]

Hi

I started charting last cycle. Overall my cycles are long and I have symptoms of PCOS. My doctor started me on Metformin a couple months ago to try and help with those symptoms. Last cycle when I charted I had a pretty clear rise after cd 20 but my luteal phase only seemed to be 10 days. So, I started taking B6 and Vitex to help lengthen my luteal phase.

This cycle, I had sensations in my uterus right from the start- slight cramping. I got at least one, maybe two clear positive opk's on CD 13/14 (earlier than usual for me). My breasts started getting sore around those days too. This for me is usually a sure sign I ovulated. But my temp is not rising and overall it seems more up and down than usual for me. Is the Vitex messing me up? Or do you think I might get a slow rise now (maybe ovulated on cd 16?) ? Does this look okay or annovulatory?
I have attached my chart.
All help is very appreciated!

I'm experiencing the same thing now. I know this is an older post, curious what ended up happening for you! I started Vitex a week ago. Had a +opk right on schedule 2 days ago and no temp rise yet. Last 2 cycles temp rise came the day after +opk. I'm afraid I messed up my chances this cycle with Vitex!

have you stopped taking it at time of o? thought you were supposed to? i took red clover blossom, which is a fertility booster, and what happened to me is a few days before i would get a more or less positive opk, and i would probably say they were positive, but no rise, i carried on doing opks and got a 2nd positive and then my temp spiked, so keep bding and opking, i think because it is changing your hormones (at least with what i was taking) it can give multiple pos opks. i would suggest that if you dont get a temp rise at all this cycle to go to your docs

I'm taking a supplement that includes Vitex - Fertility Blend from Daily Wellness, the instructions don't say anything about stopping at any point in the cycle, so I have continued to take it. Even before this, I would have about 3-4 days of what the package says is positive OPK with equal lines, but would always get one that was definitely darker the day before a temp rise. Yesterday neg OPK, but today again back to equal and pretty sure some EWCM this morning as well...so maybe still pushing through to O, I'll hope!
