Hi there,
Read about Vitex online after researching Fertility aids and am starting today!
My cycles are kind of strange. When I was a teenager I got it at 13 and then it was intermittent until I turned 18 when I went on bcp. after a few years of forgetting and PG scares I changed to depo-provera for three years. I hated how it had made it so easy for me to gain almost 70lbs, so I switched to the Evra patch. I was on that until 2007 when I found out that I can't be on any kind of hormone due to really bad debilitating migraines with aura. (scary stuff...felt like I was having a stroke once) my periods ended up regulating out to about 30 days, fairly heavy,7 days.
I concieved my son in November 2008 using EPO and pre-natals. Now I recently went through a bout of not having a period for 3 months and when I did get it on Feb 14 (yeah nice timing on that one) it lasted almost over two weeks. During this time I had many tests done including pg's. My doctor has diagnosed me with "probably" PCOS and referred me to my gyno for further testing and treatment.
I really don't want to go on drugs if I don't have to. I know they put you on diabetic drugs like Metiformin and clomid (frankly the idea of twins scares the wits out of me but I'll take what I'm given with a smile!)
So now, I start this. I"m currently taking pre-natals still. Extra folic acid and b12. Spina bifita and other tube defects run in my family (mom has spina bifita, grandmother had severe scoliosis, aunt and uncle have pallet and clef lip, as well as cousins with pitted lips) the genetic counselling told me that the chances are low but still, I'm not taking any chances. (I also have spina bifita occulta...not severe but it is painful at times) I also take extra Omega-3's and some chrominum (also starting today) to aid with glucose intolerance.
Sorry that's a small novel. Anyway, hoping to be in a group of supportive ladies. Wishing everyone they're precious
