vitex??

has any one used the prodeuct vitex or chaste berry?? im taking two 50oo mg capsules a day i have had like 3 periods my whole life by my self with out birth control i recently went to the doctor and he took my hormone levels all were normal. im taking vitex to get pregnant today i took an opk and it was positive ahs any one had this useing vitex??

Good luck! I tried vitex before my gastric bypass. No luck in conceiving. No period either. I did have sore breasts the whole four months I was taking it! Which tells me it had some affect on my hormones.  

Since surgery I have been having a period every month. (Something that has never happened before) I'm not sure if I'm ovulating, as I have yet to use any OV predictor kits. I'm really considering purchasing the Clear Blue Easy kit, but hesitant to do so because of the cost and the fact that I don't want to be disappointed if I find out I'm still not ovulating. I'm not trying to actively conceive as I'm not yet a year out from surgery. In addition I have another forty pounds to lose, but I am curious to see if my body is working correctly.  Best wishes!

thanks, i havent had the whole sore breasts thing yet! i hope not lol. dont buy the opk buy the microscope you use with ur saliva its like 25 dollars and and be used over and over again i bought the urine sticks and i felt it was a waste of money

Where do you get the microscope? I had the CBEFM but I ended up selling it on Ebay before I ever used it. Very expensive!

I think I may want to try this. I was regular for about 5 months and now all of a sudden I havent had my monthly. UUUUUGH.  So where did you find Vitex Chaseberry? How much was it? Did a Dr tell you about this? How did you know how much to take? Was that 500MG u said you take twice daily or 50mg? And how long do you take it for? Like do you take it for 6 months and if you've had regular cycles for most of them then you stop taking the Vitex to see if you are regular. I mean how long do u take this for?  Thanks!!!!! Jules

 i read it on the Internet its called chaste-berry or vitex i did alot of research about it the girl at gnc said if i wanted to get pregnant to use the 500mg twice a day i take 2 every morning  it says you can take it up to 18 months straight it takes approx. 6 weeks to 6 months to work that it will regulate you  you can buy the microscope on the web amazon.com has it its about 30 dollars i also researched that but i have yet to purchase it. i told my ob gyn about it and he said it was fine to take look up on google i know gnc was gonna stop selling it but you can get it on the web for about 10 to 15 dollars hope this helps

Jen-

I do believe that I am going to try this. I also read something about taking the Vitex and Royal Jelly. I guess you can get the Royal Jelly at Wal Mart. I read about that and it sounds like a good thing. I read about a woman that took that with the Vitex and she concieved (this is the website I found out about the Royal Jelly-

THANKS SAME TO YOU !!!! =)

Hey-

So a while ago I went to Good Earth to get some Chasteberry and they had like 2 different kinds. I didn't know what kind to get, and of course the stupid lady helping me didn't know s*it about it either. So is there more information? I got a + OPK yesterday and today. But I would still like to get some Vitex or whatever eventually because my hopes aren't high. I guess that happens after so long. But anyway, thanks for you help. Did you end up falling pregnant, your first post said you had ovulated. How is the Vitex working for you?

im currently 6 weeks and 5 days prego had my first ultrasound today thank u vitex! ummmm  dont know if there is a difference i know the one i got was 500 mgs i believe, i took 2 a day every day  i had no side effects from them what did she say was the difference the girls at gnc were really helpfull i hate when you go to a store and the people working there have no freakin clue. COME ON HIRE SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE OR AT LEAST TEACH THEM!
