[6bluewant1pink]

I've been taking Vitex for 5 months now. months 1-4 i took Vitex from AF stop right before O and i O on CD 17 or 18. Well this month 5 i took Vitex from AF to CD9 or 10 cause i ran out. Now i am on CD 14 look what i got today!

So i notice stopping Vitex very early i O very early! Is that normal?

[BabyGirl4Me]

Sometimes people don't O until *after* they stop taking vitex. If you stopped taking it on CD9 that's probably going to cause you to O earlier than before if you were taking it up through CD14. I don't think it's abnormal to O earlier when stopping vitex earlier.

Thanks babygirl4 me. Does anyone know if earlier O sway girl?

[BabyGirl4Me]

Not sure about that one, but based on the sways others have posted I don't believe timing sways much (if at all) and you're capable of conceiving either gender in any given cycle. So if you're wondering if you should have an attempt at +OPK even though it's happening a bit early for you, I'd say go for it as long as you feel comfortable with the rest of your sway. Good luck!!

I would say YES to that!
My O went from day 23 to like day 14..
and I got my daughter!
Anything to change you from the norm... is pink territory!

Thanks butterfly spirit! your little girl is so adorable! I am thinking about BD in the early morning hours maybe trying to go for a O+12 . I used RePhresh last night and a little tonight after my shower BUT i am not on the diet very well just yet. So i might have to wait till another cycle

Thank you
With RepHresh I used it and then BD 8 hours later.. an entire tube. So two tubes the week of O. I think that is your best bet to shoot for a DD. But do what you feel is right in your heart. As far as Vitex, have you tried it before?

There is a study on this forum somewhere that has stats on cycle length and B/G ratio. From what I remember shorter cycles tend to yield more girls (FWIW). Not sure how that changes things when taking supplements that can affect cycle length.

I don't know if this helps at all but I have always had short cycles, 4 weeks exactly. I would get AF every 4th saturday when I was TTC my girls. Since going on the HE diet and taking a bazillion boy sups my cycle is getting longer. Maybe a later O does sway boy and earlier girl??

Just thought I would share my experience. I was still breastfeeding my 15 month old (plus I have pcos so for me that meant longer cycles) when I conceived this baby and I was regularly ovulating between CD20 and CD22. I took Vitex for just the month that we got pregnant and I took it from CD5-CD13. Then I stopped it and felt things gearing up right away. I then ovulated on CD15 going by cervix position and my saliva ovulation tester that showed a partial ferning when I came off the vitex and full ferning pattern along with cramping pain on CD15. So it brought my cycle ahead a lot. As far as ultrasounds show so far, this baby is a girl.
