This was my first cycle actually ttc. I stopped the vitex and peppermint tea at 3 dpo and started af at only 6 dpo. Do you think my progesterone levels just dropped way to low from stopping them? Should I keep doing them both this cycle? Or could it be because I took clomid 2 cylces and then stopped this month (although I did take soy)?

I strongly suspect it was the Clomid. Clomid screws with your system, no doubt about it. I would just do the same next month and hopefully it will be out of your system then.

I don't think peppermint tea has an effect on progesterone? Just testosterone. And the vitex can be taken af-o without that effect either.

Yep...Sure does. This should help you out a bit:

Update?? Are you gearing up to O in a few days do you think??
