I take the agnus castus (vitex) i havent got prego but it has put my cycles right at 27 days i was getting 24-26 days b4 and i wasnt O'ing or getting any CM signs and since taking it i been getting both every month now. It does give u headaches in the beginning so be ready for that but once u get used to you wont have them anymore.

Black cohosh is very dangerous if you are pregnant and/or breastfeeding. If you take it, you should never take it after o. There are many herbs in "fertility" blends that actually cause mc if taken after a certain time frame. Be sure to look up each ingredient b4 taking anything. Many have serious consequence. Here is a copy of one warning label on Black cohosh. I think St. John's Wort is another one that has high risks if taken after o. HTH

Black cohosh should not be used during pregnancy or lactation due to possible health risks. There is a case report of neurological complications in a post-term baby after labor induction with a mixture of black cohosh and blue cohosh during a home birth.[3] Other cases of adverse outcomes experienced by neonates born to women who reportedly used blue cohosh to induce labor have been published in peer-reviewed journals.[4]

Black cohosh produces endometrial stimulation. Since black cohosh increases blood flow to the pelvic area, its use is not recommended during menses as it may increase or prolong bleeding.[5] Because of the possible estrogenic action, it should be used with caution after six months.[6] Additionally, black cohosh contains tannin, which inhibits iron absorption.[7] This, considered with possible effects of enhancing menstrual bleeding, gives good cause to monitor iron stores when taking black cohosh.

No studies have been published on long-term safety in humans.[8] However concerns arise that, in humans, because of its estrogen-like effects, long-term use may promote metastasis of estrogen-sensitive cancer tissue via stimulation of cells in the endometrium or breast. Black cohosh increased metastasis of cancer to the lungs (but did not cause an increased incidence of breast cancer) in an experiment done on mice (which was never published and the lung tumors were never biopsied, just observed.)

I believe agnus castus is the same as vitex, which is supposed to help stimulate a stronger ovulation. I've never tried any of the herbs you listed, but I think it's worth a try. Good luck!

P.S. I've always heard that you should not use vitex if you're on clomid! Just FYI...
