The other way to do it is to just take for CD 1-14 and then drop it even if no pos OPK. and if you do get pos OPK then drop it even if not to CD 14 yet.

Do you think that might help regulate me? I really do not think i ovulated this month and maybe the Vitex is to blame, but maybe it's not; guess a lot of things could have happened this cycle.

Hitme, I think your delayed O is a result of the LE and adjusting to Vitex. But it is true some women don't O at all on Vitex, especially taken continuously. More often O is delayed the first month or two.
I personally think V sways in multiple ways we don't yet understand, but certainly by reducing EWCM/drying up CM and turning it creamy. Possibly also bc it often messes with your cycle.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Hopefully not too much of a delay in plans, Dh had to travel anyways when I *should have been ovulating; I just hope the patten drops... And I get a full 2 or 3 attempts (hopefully I don't need them but ykwim)

Hi , I'm about 18/19 weeks into my sway and I feel my period coming again . I'm so frustrated . The last 3 cycles my luteal phase has been pretty short . About 21-25 day cycles and getting my first ph surge on cd 13-15 ( this month cd15 ) . I'm going to go to my doctor but I'm doubtful I will get help knowing the medical system here . I know it's late in the game but I'm thinking vitex might save me ? Any thoughts or suggestions .im getting to the point that I might stop swaying and ttc all together .its so depressing getting a bfn every month while working so hard . I've dropped pretty much everything except vegetarianism . I might start up my excercise again as I have taken the last 1.5 weeks off .

Taking vitex would be like throwing gasoline on a fire. Vitex only "regulates cycles" when people's cycles are messed up because of PCOS issues. PCOS is kinda like (very roughly) having too many hormones, so many hormones going on that it messes people's cycles up, and because vitex can lower hormones (it was actually used as a birth control pill in the Middle Ages) for those people it can help. But there is a second reason why cycles go wonky and most of the people on this site, including I believe you, are having their cycles go weird because their hormones are very much lowered due to LE Diet and exercise. So PLEASE do not now take vitex, it will make everything a million times worse most likely and end up making you stop ovulating all together!! Just eat more, exercise less, and see what your doc has to say about it but please don't take ANY of the miracle herbs, they all help only people with PCO and will make matters far worse for 90% of all the people on this site.

Just wondering wondering about vitex as I was on vitex recently, taking it continuously everyday but ran out just before O. I take it as it helps my moods, but it also regulates my O’s, I feel like o is stronger on it as I get more ewcm, and actually regulates and shortens cycles while I’m on it. I was taking it until a few days before O I think, and then stopped as ran out (luckily for me as got a Surprise bfp). Do you still think vitex might sway pink a little atomic? I need a shred of hope as all other aspects of my health right now are boy (very healthy)

I successfully had my girl nearly 3 years ago thanks to an awesome plan from atomic. I have just started on Ozempic to try and lose some weight due to PCOS and it’s working well. Does anyone...
