thanx maxie, you only have to stop taking vitex when you get a BFP...i just stop on Ov incase you may have oved...but you will be fine till you get a bfp or start charting, fxed it works for you as i believe it has worked for me

hey girls, little update... got my bloodwork results and they were right about where I expected them to be.... low... 6.9 (US) ... trying not to lose too much hope for this cycle since I believe implantation can still happen. Temp went up this morning which was a little unexpected but trying not to get too excited from it.

 

[Mrs.Ping]

my temp went back up as well think i am going to test tomorrow! Good luck ladies !!

 

[dandybrush]

good luck guys both your charts are looking promising lemme know how testing goes

Hi, I would like to join. I just bought Vitex today because my periods are irregular. TTC for 2 months.

 

[dandybrush]

awesome welcome happy hope vitex works for you we have only been TTC about 2 months too

I started taking AC in March but the particular kind I bought calls for 3 pills a day. Since I started taking it I've only used about half of the pills because it's so hard for me to remember to take it three times! Now I kind of feel like it's pointless to keep using because it won't be effective.

I'm curious; what brand of AC do YOU use and where do you buy it from?

 

[lisaf]

I take Metagenics (brand) of Chasteberry plus.
It has :
Chasteberry fruit extract 10:1 (Vitex agnus-castus) 100mg
Black Cohosh Root & Rhizome Extract 40mg
Ashwagandha Root Extract 60mg

I take 1 tablet 2x a day.
My acupuncturist laughs at the 3x a day instructions on some of the herbals and knows that realistically most people can only take 1 or 2 times a day. Not sure if its possible, but what if you cut one tablet in half and took 1.5 2x a day? Might taste nasty.

It would still be better to take lower than the recommended dose than to take none at all, right?

Today I bought Nature's Way Vitex and I purchased it from Wholefoods grocery store.

 

[Mrs.Ping]

I take the nature way brand and I take 3 pills once a day in the morning 1200 mg. if you have any side effects from it then take it at night but you should take it all at once if you can't remember to take it through out the day. it won't change the effects of it either way you take it!I usually have a 64 day cycle and I Oed 10 day early and I have barley taken it for a month!

 

[dandybrush]

[dandybrush]
