    Yeah, vitex ior chasteberry. I just got some this afternoon and I'm really hoping it works. Seems like it's working for you!

    Has your sex drive been affected by it? It says that it can sometimes reduce your sex drive. I sure hope not.

    If you are not familiar with this tree like I was check out this link I found:

    Looks like it might help those of us who have heavy bleeding and short irregular cycles too.

    I started using it on CD 7 of my second cycle off the pill (my first one was 80 days and anovulatory). I o'd on CD 24 and was thrilled. I figured while Vitex may not have helped, it certainly didn't hurt. I'm onto my third cycle now, still taking Vitex, CD 31 and no ovulation yet. So....it hasn't worked for me yet, but it's still early (apparently it takes months).

    You can get it at GNC and Whole Foods. If you take Clomid, do not take Vitex.
