Vitex + soy isoflavones

[strawberrymom]

I am thinking of doing a month of vitex in December and then soy in Jan if I get a bfn this month. Are there any drawbacks to this for older moms (38) ? If af timing gets thrown off do I still wait or stop at normal af date?

Bump. Anyone?

No drawbacks to older moms that I am aware of.

Since we wrote this thread, it's become a lot more obvious that vitex really delays O for people. My concern is that if it does delay O, then you'll have an anovulatory month anyway and then will still have to wait to ovulate, then get AF.

Basically, you may not want to take the V for a month because we've been finding that it's delayed/stopped O for so many people. I didn't realize how effective the vitex would be when this thread was first started.

IF you ovulate when taking the vitex, even if it's a bit late, then you'll get AF and can start soy at that point.

IF you don't ovulate while taking the vitex, and it gets to your AF time and you still haven't Oed, then you need to stop the V anyway because you're likely not to O while taking it.

Either way, wait for AF to start the soy.
