I'm wondering about taking Vitex the whole way through this month and switching back to AF-O when we start ttc the following cycle. Good idea or bad?!

I think weight loss def. trumps wonky cycles! After all, weight loss CAUSES wonky cycles!!!Quote:

I do know some people who took it for several weeks nonstop and then stopped and did indeed conceive a girl after stopping it...Quote:

I don't think it would do harm and in fact a lot of naturopaths tell people to take vitex non-stop for fertility even when TTC (I think that's a terrible idea BTW and will keep many people from getting pg)
After taking it for X number of weeks during the time when you DON'T attempt (I don't want anyone to take it WHEN they are trying to conceive!) then I would jsut take it for 2 weeks in your attempt month and then stop it even if you don't O, just in case it delays O for you.
Great, I'll try it, thank you!
I just informed DH that we'd be making our attempt next cycle. I have to drip feed him things and nothing too far in advance - just like the children :D
LOL Zanacal! Good luck with the attempt - I'm thinking about doing the same as you suggested, taking the vitex from AF through O through AF then stop at next O which will be our attempt. Fingers Crossed for both of us!
