Chaste berry question

Hey everyone :)

 I was wondering if any of you have tried chaste berry to help you get pregnant? I did a bunch of research and didn't seem like it could hurt anything. The insurance I have is better than nothing, but just barely, and doesn't cover anything even closely relating to infertility at all. So I decided it was time to start thinking outside the "hospital" box and looked into all natural stuff. Now I'm taking a supplement, twice a day, and my normal multi-vitamin. I've taken for a month now and have noticed a few changes, but nothing significant yet. 

Anyone here try it? How did work? Did it work for you? How long did you take it? You know the normal questions lol  I feel like I'm lost a sea and sinking. Just looking for a life line. Any life line will do at this point. I'm not proud or fussy anymore! :)

    Vendor? What's that suppose to mean? I'm not a vendor, but I did buy my supplements from one. I'm just looking for info. If you don't have anything to give me that's fine, but please don't assume I'm a vendor just because I'm trying something different.

    Hey Julie581 -- I just started taking it myself, and had/have some of the same questions.  I'm also trying the natural route...acupuncture, Chinese herbs, drinking tea, and I'm even going to go see a reiki practitioner. (Hey, it can't hurt).

    I am taking Vitex/chasteberry to balance out my hormones...I haven't been officially tested, but my charting and crazy hormonal moodiness, etc., seems to indicate that I am estrogen-dominant, so I am hoping to increase my progesterone to balance out my estrogen.  My acupuncturist recommended Vitex/chasteberry (I am also on a more general female fertility enhancement herbal blend).  His main recommendations were:  

    --Take it steadily, it needs to build up over time, but do NOT take it during your period

    --Try to find an organic brand (I couldn't), take it as directed on label

    -- Discontinue use once you get a positive pregnancy test

     I'll keep you updated on the results!

    Thanks for the info :) I've done a bunch of research myself, but nothing really beats hearing from others.
