Started Vitamins

[kaye]

Hi All

Decided to start some vitamins again.
So i am taking, Pregnacare, vitamin C, Zinc & Agnus Castus

I am taking the agnus castus as even though i have regular cycles, my last bloods showed low progesterone and i beleive it can help with this and also pms, which is a good thing coz i have been suffering pretty bad.

So fingers crossed this helps.

Hi just read your post. I have never heard of this agnus caster thing? WhAt is it supposed to do?

I did take folic acid. Then stopped and took pregnacare. Now I am on a bit of a downer and not taking anything but will be starting up again soon.

Hi

I have also taken vitamins in passed and given up. Hoping i dont this time.

I read the following on agnus castus:

Agnus Castus (Vitex or Chaste tree berry)

This is the herb of choice for helping to restore hormone imbalance and increasing fertility. In one study 48 women diagnosed with infertility took agnus castus daily for three months, 7 of them became pregnant during that time and 25 of them regained normal progesterone levels.

Agnus castus is particularly helpful for those women who have a luteal phase defect (shortened second half to the cycle) or those with high prolactin levels, because it stimulates the proper functioning of the pituitary gland which controls the hormones.

Agnus castus works to restore hormonal balance and can be used where there are hormone deficits as well as excesses it:

Regulates periods
Restarts periods which have stopped
Helps with heavy bleeding
Increases the ratio of progesterone to oestrogen by balancing excess oestrogen


worth a try anyway i thought?

Good explanation thank you. Im also trying agnus castus to help improve my progesterone levels, I'm on my second month now. I don't know if it's working yet cos I've stopped ovulation tests but it has regulated my period.

Baby dust to you all xx
