Femaprin/Vitex

Hello Ladies.  I'm new to this board.  I have PCOS and insulin resistance, so I'm going to need help TTC.  I've heard great things about Femaprin and ordered some.  Here's my issue:

I just received my Femaprin in the mail yesterday.

Here's the deal, though.  I just stopped BCP this month.  If things come on schedule (which I doubt they will) I'll start O'ing at the end of this week.  So far, I have had negative OTKs. 

My question:  Should I start taking Femaprin now or wait until AF comes...if it ever does?

Thanks in advance!

    I have no idea what femaprin is.  I think metformin from your Dr is more likely to help.

    I think you should check out fertilityfriend.com and start charting.  PCOS can cause OPK fakeouts.  Meaning you will get a + opk but not actually ovulate.  OPKs will help catch your surge, charting your temps will tell you if you actually did ovulate and when.  I think this is the best plan when dealing with pcos and irregular cycles.

    Also, check out soulcysters.com it's all about pcos.

    I'd start taking it now, but I've heard it can take up to 3 months for it to actually help with anything.

    I had three really, really long cycles from 8/2008-2/2009 and I started taking vitex 2/2009 which regulated me immediately. I started taking it mid-cycle and that cycle wound up only being 30 days long!

     I am sure results vary but Vitex definately helped regulate me. If PCOS is your only issue, Vitex may just do the trick for you.
