VITEX New question Atomic or anyone else pls ! On pg 4

[TickledPinkButLoveMyBlue]

Ok atomic, I've stopped bf 14 mo ds (only 4 days ago) & I was due to O yesterday but didnt & have checked again today & still + opk. I can't check my cm as I've had some light spotting since I stopped bf & my bbt is all over the shop because its been extremely hot here so I've had the a/c on so my temps have been up & down. I want to start taking vitex, can I just start taking it mid cycle?

Also, I will be using Aci-jel and SYLK...can I us them both at the same time?
Many thanks.

I just came across this thread. Very interesting. Hadn't considered it until now that I have 6 weeks off to play around with. Atomic, is this something that would be good for me to use once I get AF in the next few days until the next AF since I have Feb off? I asked this in another thread too. Thanks!

You can start taking vitex in mid cycle but NOT if you're TTC. Can't take vitex if you might be pg. In fact you should test before you start taking it every month, even if you are 100% sure you're not pg. I had what seemed to be a perfectly normal AF and took vitex for 2 weeks and was pg the entire time.

Acijel and Sylk can be used at the same time. But using both might cut down on odds of pg.

I did answer your other thread already but yes, since you cannot TTC right now anyway, I would start vitex now and take it straight thru the next month, then come off on CD 1 and start your Clomid on CD 3-5.

Thanks atomic. I started taking it two days ago as I didnt want to wait any longer...impatient hehe!
I thought I was going to o as I had lots of ewcm yesterday but I'm still getting negative opk. Temps arent trustworthy atm so I dont know...very confused

Sometimes vitex can delay O. After taking it for a few months I actually had to stop taking it thru O and stop it 1-2 days before O, because if I kept taking it, I would jsut never O at all.

I got a + opk thursday night (had only been taking vitex for 4 days so I assume that played no part in that) & had ewcm thursday & friday. Today its creamy so thinking I O yesterday. Hopefully my temps will support that.
I haven't been checking my cp as I'm not sure how to. Do you know what ph normally is around O? I'm sure my ph went up to a 6-7 the day I got the + opk? Its normally around a 5. I'm not ttc this month so I'm going to continue taking the vitex until next O & then stop. My cycles are irregular usually by a couple of days but roughly 34 days, do you recommend stopping the vitex 14 days after my first af day to hopefully encourage O then so I can try for a28 day cycle or am I better off taking it til roughly when I normally O & then stop until af comes again (or hopefully doesn't come again )?
Thanks atomic

I got ds2 taking vitex. I was taking it for about 6 months before conceiving this time and stopped, the cycle after I got pg. I had a vague memory of atomic saying she knew people who'd been taking it who stopped and then got a girl...worth a try since I wanted to do something different from last time!

pH at O is usually 6-8.

with taking V until next O and stopping. I think I would just take it for 14 days next cycle and then start doing OPK to see when you O - you don't want to delay O too much.
