2have4kids: How insanely rude. Yes. I am 100% sure FertilAid is what did it. And yes, both my midwife and OB/Gyn have confirmed that it is the FertilAid that did it. In fact, it has happened to tons of women who used FertilAid:

What people don't seem to understand is that herbs can absolutely cause major issues. What do you think the difference is between an herb and a medication anyway? One of the main things Vitex (aka: chaste berry) does is raise progesterone levels. If you're body is more sensitive to progesterone, it can cause major problems, including infertility. I was told this by my doctor. YES. My actual doctor told me this.
Vitex does great things for many women, but it also carries the risk of decreasing fertility. (That is a very common side effect and well documented.) The whole reason it's called CHASTE berry is because it was originally used to INHIBIT sexual desire in women. Decreased sexual desire is a symptom of DECREASED FERTILITY. That is documented info.
Do some research before telling someone what they're experiencing is rubbish. I stopped taking the FertilAid in May and within a week began spotting heavily, like a light flow. It continued for a month straight- a symptom of hormone withdrawal, most likely progesterone. Herbs CAN throw your system completely out of whack- which I was told BY MY OB/GYN. It's why you're not allowed to take Vitex when you're getting fertility treatments. Why do you think that Vitex regulates some women's cycles? Answer: Because it CHANGES their hormone levels. Same thing with FertilAid and FertiliTea as they contain both Vitex and other hormone-affecting herbs. And if your hormone levels already lean in the direction FertilAid pushes, it CAN screw up your cycle immensely.
How insanely arrogant you are to act like I'm just making crap up. This has been absolute hell for me. And I would NOT tell people it was caused by FertilAid if I was not absolutely certain that was the case.
