Hi there,
I just wanted to pop in and ask if anyone here has bee on Vitex before. I'm in the midst of my first cycle postpartum and am having an unusually long cycle, looking for methods of regulating it to hopefully speed up our TTC 2.0 process.
I've had super long cycles before, when we were TTC our first, and we ended up using Clomid on those cycles and getting pregnant first Clomid cycle. I would love to do clomid again but insurance won't cover it. However, I've read that vitex is basically a natural clomid and that it can increase LH production and help balance extra estrogen- which I believe might be causing my long cycles.
So, anyone used it? Side effects? Happy/bad stories?
Particularly interested to know if anyone had started it mid cycle and with what effects.
Thanks!
