Vitex or vitamin uccess stories??

Hi, I wanted to know if there is anybody that has had success with vitex or any other herbs/vitamins??
I have endometriosis.. Had a lap done in Dec. it was only stage 2 and all was removed. Which I know Endo is a sign of estrogen dominance but I also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis (auto immune) when my body attacks my thyroid and messes up my thyroid levels and all that good stuff.

I'm worried these two things together is going to make it extremely hard.

Any tips and advise would be great!!

I take maca root as well with the vitex and I also take cod liver oil because it helps with the CM and it really does, I take those and my prenatal everyday and I must tell you that they work great, the maca gives you just the boost you need and mixed with the vitex I feel it really helps with my periods being on time and I don't have cramps as bad as I used to, and I really don't have as many symptoms of my period coming like I used too, which I must admit is hard to figure out when your TTC but I say give them a try and see what you think. Now I do have to warn that once you start taking maca root your first period on it maybe delayed for a bit that is a sign if it getting your hormones balanced, now once you do get your period finally and it in your system you will not have an issue

I take vitex and I love it, when I got off BC I wasn't getting my periods because I had low progesterone and they wanted to give me another BC and I refused so i looked up a way to boost it myself and I ran across vitex and within two months I got my period and got pregnant, but I lost and I have taken it every since because of it my periods have been on time and my cramps haven't been that bad and I love it
