:wave: Hello there, and Welcome! Take Vitex, I have heard many success stories of ladies who either had a baby and were waiting for their period, or there were ladies like yourself that hardly ever get periods.. Vitex sways girl mostly, and it also helps fight the PCOS to help you conceive!!
With me, the past few months well, have been VERY strange. I've gotten multiple OPKS in a row, one of the symptoms of PCOS, anyway.. this went on for like 3 months.. one time 8 + in a row! I heard all these wonderful ladies taking Vitex and I hopped online and started doing my research! It actually helped with regulating cycles and bringing back periods! So this is my advice to you, and the good news is.. It won't cost you a pretty penny! Vitex is priced GREAT in my opinion!!
I took it and my +OPK moved from day 23 to day 15! and I was one of the really lucky ones and conceived in one cycle! I still had 6 positive OPKs in a row this cycle but I did conceive, and even with a SUPER nurser boy!
I got mine off of amazon.com It's the Nature's Way 400 mg capsules. I took 2 in the am with my Calcium, Magnesium, and B-50 Complex
There are ladies on youtube that share their stories of conceiving with Vitex that have PCOS.
:cheer: Good luck, and get ready to start this exciting journey! :cheer:

Once your period returns there is a lube you might want to use to sway, it's called SYLK and sways girl..

Thank you so much for all the info butterfly spirit!! Id never heard of Vitex but i'll be out first thing tomorrow to get some, I just checked out your girl sway, (fingers crossed for you its paid off and you get ur little girl) i noticed that you took vitex on certain days, is a certain day to take them? and if so when? x
Yes, you do have hope of getting a girl, altho I agree that many with PCOS do tend to have more boys than girls. I have a thread about PCOS and swaying here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html Please don't be put off because this is a bit of a long essay, it's important for you to read because the rules have to be different for those with PCOS. You may also like to read this essay, it talks about changing sway diets with insulin resistance http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...ar-issues.html Under no circumstances should you do the IGD/FGD and start drinking a lot of milk becuase milk can wreak havoc with your blood sugar levels and make them very high, which is both bad for pink and will raise your testosterone. You'd be best off doing LE Diet with focus on lower carb veg, small amounts of fruit and whole grains (no more than 2-3 servings a day) and slightly higher protein intake (50-60 g)
I think your best idea is to see your doctor and see if s/he is willing to prescribe Clomid, metformin, spirolactone to get the PCOS under control medically. If not, then you can start looking into herbs, diet, lifestyle changes (and the essay talks about this a bit more.)
Above all, if you are heavy (and even if you're not) lose some weight. Losing even jsut 5-10% of your body mass will really help get your insulin resistance under control.
Take vitex from AF - the day before O, but I think you'd be better off seeing a doctor and looking into Clomid first, before you have to resort to vitex. Clomid will sway pink and will also help you ovulate and many women with PCOS take Clomid.Quote:

I asked her if there was anything i could take to make me more regular as it took over a year to fall pregnant with DS but she wants me to try naturally first :mad:
Thank god youve said that, as id read on another site (ingender) to up calcium intake so had been drinking loads of milk arghhhhh!!!! i currently weigh 120lb and am 5'4 so not got the weight issue of pcos, thankfully, but can lose a few pounds happily lol!!
Oh you're welcome no problem!!!Quote:

Since I forgot that little detail!!!
I took it the wrong way and I ended up bleeding from the day my home pregnancy test showed a ghostline..since I was having many +opks I didn't know when I was to ovulate!
to this day I don't know exactly what it was, but the bleeding stopped so that is good. Atomic says stop on Ovulation because Vitex is not good to take while pregnant, and she can testify that she had a tragedy occur because she didn't make sure she wasn't pregnant before taking it again.
Another very important thing is, if you are able to get on clomid do NOTHING else to sway (except maybe some preseed for lube), because with Clomid you want to get pregnant as soon as possible and swaying, especially for a girl, decreases chance for pregnancy. I got pregnant SO fast with both of my boys, but this pregnancy took almost a year to achieve!
What high hormone pill are you taking?
If she won't give you Clomid, do Vitex and don't tell her lol that will go along with your "natural attempt".
I didn't go to my doctor before trying Vitex, I was nervous and all but now I know that it was the only way that I could get pregnant before DS#2 was finished nursing!
im taking Logynon, as all the other birthcontrol pills i took before wernt working, and this one has 3 different hormones to suit each stage of your cycle, and because im getting my period in the highest hormone bit my doctor thinks the pill doesnt suit me and would be best on another contraceptive. il definatly try vitex, thanks for the warning although with my cycle i prob have no idea whne im ovulating x
Yes, Ingender doesn't take PCOS into account unfortunately.Quote:

Also, it's fine to get your calcium thru supps rather than diet.
Can you see another doctor? If it's taking you over a year to get pg and you have PCOS, you NEED Clomid. There's no medical reason why you shouldn't have it because it's a pretty safe drug that is the standard recommendation for PCOSers who are TTC.
Just to clarify about my tragedy, I had already suffered a miscarriage of a twin BEFORE I started the vitex. This baby had implanted directly onto my cervix and my doctor told me there is not enough blood vessels in the cervix to sustain a pg and the baby most likely could not get enough nutrients/oxygen and passed away.
I assumed the bleeding was AF (it was heavy and lasted about the same time as normal AF) and started the vitex, but it turned out I was carrying twins, only lost one, and my other baby was still with me, so I inadvertently took vitex for 2 weeks while I was pg with him.
My baby I lost was already gone when I started vitex - the vitex did not cause me to lose him/her, that happened because it was placenta previa and poorly implanted. The baby I was carrying when I took vitex is alive and well at 2 1/2 and has nothing wrong with him, but I just want people to be very careful because vitex is a great unknown for safety. always take a pg test before starting vitex.
