Can you take Vitex the same day you take the last pill of Provera???

I have been put on Provera today will be the 10th day (the day i'm supposed to stop taking it)
to induce a period to try and get pregnant... but provera is the only thing the dr put me on
and i read it doesnt help you ovulate... I was reading about Vitex and want to try it out..
Is is safe to take them at the same time? Or will they cancel each other out?
I'm just curious because we really want a baby and have been trying for 2 years almost and nothing...

Hello,
Provera is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. This medication has several uses. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to treat abnormal bleeding from the uterus and to restore normal menstrual periods in women who have stopped having them for several months.

Vitex is a herbal drug and should be taken only under medical supervision. Clomid is one of the best medicines for ovulation induction and for conceiving. You should take it again after consulting your gynecologist and hopefully you should become pregnant.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
