supplement Advice - Specifically Vitex and B6

Atomic, I ve got a question regarding the vitex. When you concieved your opposite, how long did you take it before? I just found out last week my mother told me she concieved me on vitex at least for three month. She did not concieve for a long time and the doctor gave her vitex. She even let me see her temp chart. Even though timing does not count, well here I am a perfect 3 day cutt off;-). started vitex last week. Bought SP but unsure when to take it. had some thoughts about october effect. What if it has to do with food supply. Most vegetables and fruits have their time during summer. so by october november there is more nutrients in our daily food then during april. I know a lot people who also do diets after new years... maybe we tend to eat less vegetables and fruits in late winter... what if thats the reason for more girls in april.....

I took it from june thru october, however long that is. but I took it 2w on, rest of cycle off

They considered the diet in the study and this effect seems to be separate from diet. probably something to do with day length or Vit. D levels.

Ok, interesting, but why are there more girls un areas that have more sunshine...? and I thought there are more boys in areas with less sunshine like scandinavia...

I just read about your sway. for DS4 you took it af-o and then Af-0 and you fell pregnant during this second time? For the girl you took it 5 month but not straight?

No one knows why that is, but most countries around the equator tend to be poorer and women may not have as good a diet. Many women are also either dark skinned or wear veils/burkas in many equatorial countries. Also may have to do with heat on men's testicles.

With my son, I wasn't ovulating due to breastfeeding. So I took it 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 2 months in a row and got pregnant without ever having a real AF. I got pregnant with an ovulation after taking it for 2 weeks in the second month.

With my daughter I was having cycles and took it AF-O but I found that I had to stop it 1-2 days before I wanted to ovulate. This went on for 5 or 6 months (from June to Oct.) My period at the beginning of November was extremely light (and it had been in Oct. as well) and I decided to drop the vitex to see if I could get a good bleed because I was more worried about giving myself cancer at the age of 41. I really thought it was unlikely I'd get pregnant and that was my last month trying.
