Oh most def take your pescription hun!!!
Well, like I mentioned before, I personally would not take cal-mag if I were to ever sway pink again but that is just ME and a lot of people have had success with the cal-mag. I would still add the vitex because there were pretty good stats from IG on vitex, altho it didn't work for me.Quote:

Brand isn't really that important, but I would go with a reputable brand name like Nature's Way or Solaray. I've always had good luck with their products.
Would your DH do licorice root or is that out?
I totally understand your thought processes with that and be aware that vitex and SP DO have potential to change your cycle. The trouble is, that changes in a regular cycle may be indicative that the sway is working...your hormones are not functioning like they were when you conceived your boys, KWIM? So it may be that you actually WANT to see slight changes in your cycle for swaying pink. It does make using timing/frequency factors more difficult tho.Quote:

Once I add the vitex, can I drink the occasional peppermint tea or no?
Atomic I hope I am not driving you bonkers. I forgot to mention that I am also taking two aciodphoplis a day. Probably forgot to mention because this week I didn't put it in my pill case. Yikes. I think the food deficiency is going to my brain!
Anyway I assume you don't think its too late to make these changes. I hope its not. I picked up Vitex (solaray) and SP (vitamin shoppe brand)today. SP says it promotes prostate health. The bottle says 320mg, Saw Palmetto Extract standardized herb. Just double checking this is correct. I also picked up Zyrtec and Metamucil pills. I started titrating down the C and E, and I am taking a baby aspirin instead of Cranberry. I think I will leave the Cal (666) and Mag (250) and just won't up them closer to O.
Dh is taking Cal (666), Mag (250), Viatmin C (500), Cranberry, and licorice root 2 a day. Should I make any changes to his supps?
When I have time I will sit down and post my revised plan. I have changed some things from experiementing and getting full disclosure from Dh! Interesting stuff!!
Af is due any day and this will be my first attempt. Despite all this I am doing everything I can to stay relaxed to keep down T levels as best I can...sat in the yard in the sun yesterday, will get pedicure and mini back rub today too!! I think you might need one after all my posts!! LOL
Thank you very much for ALL your time...

Atomic: last Vitex questions. I purchased Vitax Solaray brand. It says Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus) (berry extract) 225mg, and Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus)(berry) 100mg. So I assume this is 325mg. So if I take 3 I'm at 975mg. Perfect right?
Lastly, they are capsules. Do you believe that the gelatin is insignificant?
Bumping for Atomic. Hoping to hear from you this weekend!
Yes, that's fine. Pep tea and SP are a no-no.Quote:

SP 320 :agree:
Way to go with keeping T levels low!!!
yes, that's just fine!!! Tiny amount of gelatin in caps is insignificant (the blue swayers have to drink a LOT of gelatin!!)Quote:
