Question about vitex
I finally got AF after I hadn't had it since January 25th. I ordered vitex and got it. My question is: do I start taking it when AF is done or now? Do I continue taking it while on AF? If we are trying should I takeit the then too?
Thanks a lot!Mommy to
TTC
I am blessed!

Vitex should be af-o. Here's the thing though, idk if you've seen more recent posts about vitex but it's now advised to take vitex for 6 weeks BEFORE your first attempt. Then resume af-o. Also, idk why you af was MIA but vitex can mess up o and I'd hate for you to start taking it and it makes things worse. Ppl haven't been getting great results with it any how. It's pretty 50/50 with getting desired gender while using it. I would as atomic her opinion. I just wanted to give you the info that I have come across lately but I'm no expert and Idk your situation

I started vitex a little over 3 weeks ago, just a few days before I Oed last cycle. I will continue taking it continuously unless it seems to be delaying O, but I am taking it to bring O forward and lenghthen my LP, so I don't expect it to delay O. So far I am loving it!
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner

I take vitex more for my short lp than ttc girl. It delayed my o by 4 days at first but its coming back early this cycle. Jury is still out on lengthening my lp. This is my 4th cycle on it and supposedly you need 3 for it to work so fingers crossed x

If you're just a couple days into AF then it's fine to start vitex then. I do think it's best to hold off if you are about to ovulate because it can delay.
Yes, you keep taking vitex while on AF!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I do think vitex sways pink, this is not being represented in our stats for now but biologically and anecdotally I do think it's a good pink sway tactic or I would have dropped it by now. It does cause an awful lot of trouble but I think that's part of how it sways.
