Vitex, Anyone?

I saw this mentioned on ShellShockedMama's profile. It sounds interesting and seems like it could help me becuase I have erratic cycles. Although, I am very weary about taking medication.

    I would ask your doctor about it.

    I took it in Dec/Jan, and got pregnant that cycle... and had a m/c.  I didn't take it this past cycle, got pregnant... and had a m/c.  I have a friend who took it one cycle, got pregnant, and also had a m/c.  So who knows.  I'm wary, but I think that's just from personal experience.

    I just started taking it. From what I read it seems to be pretty safe

    I tried it, but didn't see any results from it.  I was hoping to avoid taking Clomid again, but unfortunately, it wasn't the magic bullet for me.

    I'm taking it this cycle and have had a much more normal cycle - but that could just be things normalizing after my miscarriage.

    Vitex isn't a "medication" but it's herbal. many doctors don't trust herbal, however my MW didn't say it was bad for me to have taken it.

    I TTC'd almost two years to get my first bfp which resulted in a m/c -- no supplements or anything during that time. I then started Vitex and got another bfp within three months and everything is still ok. I did stop the vitex soon after getting the bfp, but I've been told it's ok to still take in the first tri. 

    Also, I had a 7 day LP and after two months of Vitex it went to 11 days. 

    I will always praise Vitex, I think it worked for me, but everyone's experiences are different. I know babes12 is on it now and she's seeing improvements in her LP.
