Help?! Taking vitex while pregnant

[Aspe]

Phrum.. I was going to ask you how far along you are but then I see your ticker. Are you going to be using the progesterone cream your whole 10 months?
If I had to get a progesterone test done now, it would not be reliable, because the help of the vitex would assist the number.
Also, if I had to supplement with cream or suppository, really, would it be any different than taking vitex in the morning?

Progesterone cream acts immediately - it is available to your body within 3 minutes of applying it to your skin. It is a much more direct approach than vitex. Progesterone cream is the exact same hormone your body makes. VITEX helps support the body systems that CREATE progesterone; it in an of itself is NOT a hormone of any kind. See https://natural-fertility-info.com/vitex for a very good and detailed explanation of Vitex from an herbalist.
If you were using progesterone cream, you could quit around 14 - 16 weeks with no worries because by then, the placenta is making its own progesterone and you don't have to rely on the corpus luteumm which may have been inadequate during your menses.
