I think It effects everyone different. My cycles were long. 35 days. Now 28 on the dot thanks to Vitex.

I read if you have a perfect 28 dayish cycle not to take it.

Vitex ruined my cycle! Can't take it!! I think it is one of them things you just have to wait and see!! I just continued to spott. My af was a week early but my O seemed to stay the same. I didn't give it enough time to settle down with me I was to scared to the spotting freaked me out!

Rainbow baby - can I ask, do you mean that you kept spotting after your got AF and it should have been finished? This is my first month taking vitex and I asked Atomic this same question yesterday (through my sway plan) and she said she hadn't heard of this.

I normally have 5-7 days of AF, but I am on day 12 and still spotting!! I was wondering if it was the vitex or aspartame or something else. If you have had something similar I would love to hear your experience as the spotting is freaking me out too! I may end up stopping the vitex.

But i do wanna ruin my cycle..because that sways girl right ?

I think the tricky part with messing with your cycle is trying to pinpoint O and then 1 attempt. Just my experience, Cd37 now so I'm thinking I won't take it next month - whenever that is (going slightly crazy waiting for Af .

Everyone reacts differently so you can only really try and see how you go . Hope it works well for yoy :)

Why the spotting? Did u take high dose?

[The Anchor]

You're not supposed to take it every day of your cycle, only up to 1 or 2 days before expected O. It can delay O if you take it every day of your cycle.

I don't think so, just the amount in my sway plan. One tablet in the morning and one at night for 14 days from AF. I have no idea what is causing the spotting. But it is like I have an ultra light period and it is not going away!

??? Well, I think vitex sways pink and if you have gotten boys with a 28 day cycle, you may want it to change a little bit, may help sway pink.

For me, I found that if I didn't stop taking it, I would not ovulate, but then once I stopped I would ovulate within 1-2 days of stopping it. Then, the month I got pg I had dropped the vitex and ovulated a few days early.

There is some other spotting that I have heard of on Vitex but not the type you are reporting.

I have 27 day cycles and always been pretty regular, I've been having Vitex for my last 3 cycles, non-stop as I am not TTC yet. It messed up my O day (earlier), it made my cycles slightly shorter, it gave me crampy ovulations, produced more CM but did not stop me ovulating (still getting +OPK at least). It also made my periods longer (7 days instead of 5) and heavier. Hope it works for you.
