VITEX Time!

[Butterfly Spirit]

Oh boo, I'm sorry.

I wouldn't take the vitex until you're 100% sure you are not pg. (sorry I know I always mention this but) I had a perfectly normal, even heavy AF and was pg the entire time and ended up taking the vitex for 2 weeks while pg.

See this is why I LOVE your advice Atomic.. I'm SO scared because like I said I am not due for AF until the 22-23! Isn't it odd that AF or whatever came so early!? It's gotten pretty heavy today but I've only had a single pad all day like yesterday, so I guess you could call it medium flow . I'm just so worried..what if!?.. If I were, and I know it's possible. Many ladies on babycenter.com have had a full blown AF and were pregnant! I didn't know about your experience! Thanks for sharing. I'm now taking a few preg tests a day instead of opks. I started Vitex on CD 7 last cycle and it still worked as far as making an earlier O, as far as I know.. I Oed. haha so perhaps... even waiting until after this.. bleeding.. I will be OK

Just jumping in to say this month was my first month on Vitex and i got positive OPK for 5 days in a row and i was temping too so from my temping chart i ov on the 5th day.It totally confused me and i ended up dtd on the 2nd day thinking it was -1 but ended up being -3. So we dtd again on 4th day which was -1.And i got my BFP after ttc for a year! So something worked out in the end.The only side effect i noticed with vitex and i took it with Saw palmetto was the usual menstrual migraine i got disappeared but once i stopped taking them on ov the migraines started again. So i dont know if it helped with my hormones in that way. Probably nothing to it but just something i noticed.Best of luck maybeoneday and butterfly spirit.xx

Oh thanks for sharing your experience Irishmom, I am so happy you are prego!!! I think I need a thermometer and I'll start temping on the first + opk
I must be going insane tonight. I took two preg tests and I swear I see ghost lines. Usually I see none, not even evaps!
I'll know something better in the morning. lol

Butterfly, the Vitex made my AF really light so it could be AF (just AF the vitex way......) I normally have really heavy periods and on vitex they are MUCH lighter.

FX it is implantation but thought you might like to know.

No AF for me yet so who knows......... Will keep you posted! xx

Thanks for your input maybesomeday! Yeah this thing is definitely not ordinary for me. I hope you are prego!!! When can you test?

[Butterfly Spirit]

The ghost lines on my cheapie tests are darker tonight (took 2 lol).. I'm on the brink of insanity.. AF was supposed to be on the 22 or 23!

Like a pregnancy test?! Did you get what seemed like a normal af?!

I've begun my vitex journey the day after AF left because my vitex arrived late so let's say I took it after AF-day before O and already I'm worried because I suppose I O'ed about a dayor 2 ago and I see that I have some brown spotting..am I the only 1 who this has happened to!?

[Butterfly Spirit]

Yeah, a ghost line is what I call it before it is a BFP you see a line is there just not faint pink yet. And I never get ghost lines, only stark white tests or light pink lines.
And Atomic and I were talking about how you can be prego on your period, (she was if you read down) and many ladies on baby center have confirmed it. So... It's like AF but it's not SUPER heavy like normal, nor as painful. If there's a line it should show for sure on the 22 or 25th.

I started bleeding on the 17th.. wasn't due for AF until the 22 or 23.

Anyways, I will fall over if I conceived on the first cycle of vitex.. miracle drug indeed haha!

WOAH wait.. you stopped vitex right?

[Babyy Love]

WOAH wait.. you stopped vitex right?

Yes! Definitely do not want to mess up anything so next cycle I will do it AF-O it's just that I received my vitex late so I began the day after AF

[Butterfly Spirit]

Oh you are totally fine! I started on day 7 and I got my first + opk on CD 15 which usually doesn't come until CD 22! So it worked! You don't even have to take it every day.. I didn't. lol

Since I don't know what I'm going through I'm not going to pop vitex until I'm 100% sure it's safe!
