Vitex while BF and TTC a girl

[GeCon]

The only thing is that my cycles were pretty long to start with before conceiving DS. I had two cycles of 60 days with O around CD40.

Yes, vitex is believed to sway pink. The stats on Ingender are quite good for vitex, altho I did conceive an opposite while both BF and taking vitex.

I took 400 mg in the morning, 400 at night with two of my sons and they did not seem to have any ill effects from it (but were older and eating a lot of table foods.) Take it from AF-O and then give your body a break for 2 weeks, start up again at AF.

Regardless of how it sways, I found it to be very useful for restoring and normalizing ovulation while BF. If you aren't ovulating, you can't get pg, and you can't conceive a child of your DG if you can't get pg!!

I am thinking of taking it to bring on ovulation. LO is 14 months old and I had one AF (if I can call it that) about 4.5 months ago. Although I was taking Cerazette until yesterday, so that could have had something to do with the bleeding.

I have looked on the Holland & Barrett website and they do 100mg and 400mg capsules. Both are recommended to be taken 2 twice a day. A bit confusing really...

Some people take it for other reasons (PMT) and so may need smaller doses. For restoring ovulation while BF, the 400 mg in the morning and 400 at night has worked for me twice now.

There are always exceptions, just that we have found that if a person who has regular cycles suddenly starts to have very long ones, that can indicate their sway is working for them. IF your cycle is always long and you've conceived boys, then that would not necessarily apply to you.
