TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

vitex?

Hello ladies,

I've had 3 cycles post 2nd miscarriage.  They have been 27-28 days, ovulation on CD 17, so I've had 10 or 11 day lps.  I know that is not incredibly short, but I have also been spotting (some days closer to light bleeding with small clots) from ovulation until AF.   I will see my ob sometime in the next two weeks, but I wanted to get some feedback on vitex.  Would it help me?  Should I wait until I ask the dr to start or should I start as soon as AF is over?

Thanks in advance.

  • I would recommend asking your dr to run some bloodwork to check your progesterone.

  • the only thing that worked for my spotting so far has been red rasberry tea leaf in conjunction w/ vitex. 

    i tried vitex alone but it didn't seem to help w/ my spotting before af.

    and i'd bring it up to your ob too.

  • Thanks, I will absolutely ask my ob I just wasn't sure if it was something I should get into right away.

  • My cycles were exactly the same.  Slightly late O, 10 day LP and spotting starting as early as 6dpo.  As soon as I started vitex, I went to a CD14 O and a 12-13 day LP.  I definitely second the recommendation to ask for progesterone levels to be drawn - my OB put me on progesterone when I described my cycles.
