I took the vitex for about three months. I stopped when this AF wouldn't stop. I got kind of excited when she first showed up because it seemed like a semi-normal one, not too light not too heavy, but this week it has all gone downhill. I am miserable this week. I am dizzy and light headed and tired and I don't have insurance at the moment because of my school so I have been putting off going to the doctor. I can go to the health clinic here in town, but I can tell you right now all they are going to do is put me on bc. That seems to be all anyone wants to do when I tell them that I have pcos, just throw me on bc to regulate my cycles. That's the very last thing that I want to do.
When my mom was in her early 20's, she was told because of the cycsts on her overies that she would never carry a baby full term. She and my dad were looking at adoption and she was on bc. The doctors would put her on it for 6 months and then take her off to see what happened. When she was not on it she would have a never ending AF. Finally one cycle they decided to take her off of it and see what happened, and two weeks after stopping she got pregnant with me. Ever since then her cycles were perfect, o'ing every month, and she ended up having 4 kids. I am really hoping that the same happens to me, just getting this first to happen is a pain at times.
