Anyone Taking Vitex And How Is It Working For You?

Hi Everyone!

My Naturopathic Doctor has just prescribed me to take Vitex:  30 drops/3 times a day/everyday to help balance my hormones and cycle.  Please share your experiences good or bad and what else are you taking with it?  Thank-you for your time.  GOD BLESS.

Hi!
I took Vitex when we were TTC a few years ago.  I believe that it helped me to hold a pregnancy long enough for a positive test- a breakthrough for me, but it ultimately wasn't enough to prevent two losses.  It took progesterone suppositories to maintain a pregnancy until the placenta took over progesterone production.
I have a luteal phase defect of 10 days between ovulation and A.F.  I took Vitex for days 1-14, then quit until the next cycle started.  I can't remember how much I took- maybe half a dropperful twice a day?
I've started taking it again because my PMS was getting out of control.  It has helped with that too.  
Best wishes to you!

Thank-you!!!...So Much!  Yes, I agree that Vitex is great for maintaining healthy hormone levels that's why my Dr. wanted to put me on it after I raised my progesterone levels.  I feel positive about Vitex balancing everything as long as I can keep my hormone levels where they should be and only use progesterone supplements if needed.  GOD BLESS!!!
