- Ah… dear old Vitex… Agnus Castus… Chasteberry… however you want to call it :)
This friend comes up in many conversations and for good reason. Many of you consider trying it or have tried it based on the praises sung on the herb on the internet. But… is it always right to take? Is it a matter of safe to try in any case? Well, most women I speak to, I advise to not try it or come off it, and in this video I share why!
Hello lovelies, welcome to another one of my video’s in which we’ll talk about whether you should be taking Vitex, also known as Agnus Castus or Chasteberry.
I wrote a blog post series a while back because I felt there is a lot of misinformation on the internet when it comes to this super herb. And yes, I do acknowledge it is a super herb… but for the right people!
If it is not right for you, it can further disrupt your already fragile hormone balance, so let’s talk about how Vitex works so you can figure out if you should indeed give it a try.
That way it will at least not leave you disappointed and lost when it does not “work”.

THAT IS WHY IT IS GOOD TO TAKE VITEX IN THE SECOND PART OF YOUR CYCLE AFTER YOU OVULATED AND STOP TAKE IT BEFORE MENSTRUATION. Then it is beneficial. It wasn't mentioned in the video and it is very important for women to know.
I’m trying to decide if I want to start taking Vitex to help with fertility. My cycle is usually 28-31 days on avg, and I’ve never really had terrible periods or any problems that I know of related to my hormones. A couple good friends recommend Vitex as they got preggo very quickly on it. When you say take it the second half of the cycle, does this mean start taking it the day after you ovulate up until day one of your period? From what I’ve read from other sources, they say to take it right after your period stops. Just trying to figure out what I’m supposed to do and if I should even delve into taking this. TIA!
@@JessStu27 If you do not have any problems in your cycle I would not start with Vitex - then it is not necessary and better to keep your natural balance. But if you have some problem I would start with understanding how hormones in our cycle function (on you tube are many videos). When your period start all your hormones drops down. With Vitex you have to go in flow with your natural hormonal cycle otherwise you will mess it up. Vitex increase production of progesteron that means you have to take it when progesteron is naturally on the flow in your body too. That means start taking when you ovulate which is usually day 14 (count from your first day you started bleeding) and end with taking before you start bleeding again. I end with taking Vitex one day before my expected bleeding on the day 27. I know that some women take it different but it is usually because they have such problems that don't have menstruation at all so they just start. But once they have menstruation they should stay in harmony with their hormonal cycle.
Thanks so much!
Thanks Ema! I started tracking my hormone levels using Inito, which measures Estrogen, FSH, LH and Progesterone using first morning urine. I had my LH surge yesterday and today my LH is back to baseline and my estrogen also dropped. There has been no rise in Progesterone (it’s still at 1.6). Would today be the ideal time to start on Vitex?
@@JessStu27 I am not a doctor but from my point of view I would take it like this: If your whole cycle is 28 days then you know that ovulation is around 14. day. So start whenever you feel after ovulation and stop 1 or 2 days before menstruation. If your whole cycle is longer than you will ovulate later so start taking later.
I used Vitex for weeks, now I am carrying twins! Initially I had a short luteal phase.
jenna rudd congrats I have been trying to get pregnant past 4 years did u use prenantals foo
Jenna. Are you serious? Wow I will start taking mine
You have inspired me alot 😍
It works
Haleluyah🙏🏼❤
When did you start taking it in your cycle? Did you stop during your cycle?
Not everything is clear cut 😇My daughter had pcos and vitex cured it. She continues taking it and her cycle is perfect 🌺
Dose she take it her whole cycle
Same. And I take it all cycle, but wonder if I should take it half cycle
I really appreciate your approach to this. This is how I intuitively felt about Vitex but I didn't have a full understanding of it. I think lots of people throw it around as if it's a vitamin, but anything that affects your hormones strikes me as something you want to be careful with.
Can you do a video on whether or not evening primose oil is good for fertility? Thank you.
Please because I tried it for the first half of my cycle this month 3900mg a day and I had no LH surge and today is day 32 and no period and I am concerned
Your dopamine explanation just explained soooooooooo much for me! I was watching this video to learn about vitex and a whole other set of dots just connected for me! Thank you!
I am glad I watched this. I had a regular cycle and started taking Vitex when TTC and my cycle is currently at day 45 with no period and negative HCG tests! I could not figure out what messed up my cycle, I wish I never would have taken it, but I now I know to stop!
@@martal2475 Turns out I was actually pregnant and I just ovulated very late and that is why I was getting negative tests at that time!
@@martal2475 I was taking the Pink Stork brand Fertility tea with Vitex. I got it on Amazon. I am 25 and we were only trying to conceive for a few months. We were very lucky. Charting helps the most!
Emily Weiss did you have the baby? Congrats
Wow. I can relate. My period is always regular. I started a fertility tea with Vitex and my cycle is at day 57 with no period to. Took 8 pregnancy tests all negative. Just an emotional mess right now. Will take another test in the morning as see what happens. Dont know what my next step would be if im not. I just never miss my period
@@emilyweiss8983 You should probably edit your comment then. Looks like Vitex worked for you.
i would love to see more content for the ladies that are not triing to get pregnant, but want to regulate or have a healthy cycle....only focusing on precnancy is getting annoing but yeah it does really help a few of us, so thank you for that!
Great video!! I took Vitex for maybe 4-5 days in the first part of my cycle and my temps skyrocketed! I suspected it was the Vitex so I stopped taking it. Thanks for the info. 💕
It worked like a charm for me!
I appreciate all this information but I disagree with some things....she said you shouldn’t take it if you have PCOS....a lot of women with PCOS get their cycles to be normal and get pregnant with vitex.....I get this vibe from this video that you should always no matter what’s out there go back to your infertility doctor and use chemicals or invasive procedures just because they’re “professionals” that want to make money off of you even though vitex helped so many people more than didnt
Or not even that but she said am homeopathic "doctor" which aren't really doctors.
I just had blood work done and it showed that I have too much prolactin. So taking Vitex would be beneficial for me, correct?? Because it would raise my dopamine which would lower prolactin.
VITEX helped me with my Acne!
There are many factors in increasing fertility. One place I discovered which successfully combines these is the *ThePregnancyFact. Com* it's the most helpful remedy i've heard of. Check out the interesting info
I took it for a while and it definitely helped me in extending my luteal phase a bit. I was doing other things along side... acupuncture and other vitamins and homeopathy as well.
I stopped taking it, though. My luteal phase has remained longer/normal since.
What dose did u take?
Please do a video on how birth control/synthetic hormones affect fertility :)
Yes! I will! In the mean time, check out this blog post: ingefleur.com/all-posts/getting-pregnant-after-the-pill/
@@FertilityHomeopath dear i have lower progesterone level & vitamin -d unsefisent should i take vitex
Hi! It would be interesting if you did a video about ovaractive immune system and autoimmune disease and fertility! :)
I second this! I have an autoimmune disease and wonder if/how it affects my fertility as I've been ttc a very long time now.
So I used vitex, had a normal cycle, probably normal FSH and LH. I lost my baby at 21 weeks to triploidy. I think my egg didn’t divide properly during meiosis. I wonder if it was bc my egg was released too early. Had my peak ovulation test on cycle day 10 which was early. I won’t be taking this stuff ever again. I just take vitamin C, coq10 and my prenatal. I wish that I would have seen this video a long time ago. Thank you.
My periods were regular I had it every month. But shortly after I got married my periods were not the same. I gained weight and my period stop I lost weight but my periods were not the same any more I lost my period for 4 months my doctor said my progesterone was high and my prolactin was abnormal etc..
My doctor recommended vitex berry to bring back my periods and balance my hormones.. my husband and I want a baby next year 2022 but I am scared cause my periods were really bad:/.
Ever since I took vitex my periods came back
I was having trouble with my ovulation/LH surge and CM linking up. In the past I was having my surge on the 11th day of my cycle and during that time I had no chemical want for sexual activity and my cm was not at all EW. I would get a lil EW CM about 5-7 days after my surge! So I decided to try Vitex this cycle. I began taking 2x daily on my first day of my period. After a week in, my mood shifted for the better, and then on track for my typical surge it happened this morning! And best yet, I have had EW CM all day yesterday and today! And very excited for sexual activity!
I have also been working on lower stress for the last 2 months. To promote healthy progesterone production.
Am I ok to see how this works? I feel like it is helping my hormones align.
Sounds like me. I am so nervous I have used Vitex in the past with success but my age is against me.
Alison Forster how old are you?
@Jasmine Spencer 45.
I had my first at 33 with vitex and b6 and had twins at 39 with royal jelly, maca and vitex
@Jasmine Spencer I was nervous too but I decided my hormones are out of whack because of my age and low ferritin which ca affect everything. So I am doj g vitex and its dojng the trick along with astragalus, rhemmin and ashwaganda. My o and cm have linked back up right as we speak and I have ovulated twice again in 3 days. Just like when I had my twins. I had nothing to lose as my age is against me.
I feel like I know everything about vitex from your video, first time hearing about vitex.i am a big fan lots of love from kenya
I tried a supplement that had vitex and it constantly made me spot between periods. I have pcos so I think it did not work out for me. Love your channel by the way. Very informative ❣️
I have PCOS too I'm struggling to concieve
Girls try NAC 600mg twice a day for PCOS
And if it doesn’t work for you keep trying with Bromelain !
Please a video on high prolactin level and infertility.
Any update?

I'm 38 years old and I've tested low in progesterone and estrogen. I'm unsure of my LH, FSH, and dopamine levels. My naturopath prescribed me chasteberry. After watching your video I'm too scared to try it. Would you suggest progesterone cream might be safer if dosing is highly regulated and monitored? I've always had low hormone levels, including estrogen.
Hoping you respond.
When I took two a day, it threw me off. When I took the half dose, it healed all my ovarian pain. PCOS
I started taking vitex for a short luteral phase and I'm pregnant! We have been trying for six months before going to see a practitioner who wanted to put me on progesterone and then I happened on a video about vitex and thought to give it a try. One cycle. I'm sold.
Do you still take it? I just found out I'm pregnant!!!🎉🎉🎉 I've been taking Vitex for years, but I'm not sure if I should stop or taper off now.
@@lulumarie7 I'm still taking it. I found online to keep taking until week 13 and wean off by week 14.
I love this video because you explain the root of things how it works. Homeopathy has become one of my passions especially its effects on fertility and mental health. I'm wondering how did you begging your journey i cant seem to find anything that can help me with mine.
I am a woman in my early 50's and someone recommended that i try this to stabilize my hormones. I am already taking Ashwanghanda and I am just not sure about this. Can you please shed some light on this situation?
This is me at the moment except the age...
What do you recommend when a person has high prolactin and high LH?
I have a thyroid condition and am estrogen dominant. My doctor recently took me off my thyroid medication and my tsh returned to normal range. I stopped taking the progesterone birth control pills my doctor gave me because my cycle was still all over the place after 3months of taking them. I started taking vitex, dim and magnesium calcium and zinc supplement and have noticed a change. It's been about a month but at least I am not having a cycle for 3 weeks. I spotted for 2 days a week early and my period is a little late but I can tell the difference and I feel better. Oh I also use a progesterone cream.
My OBGYN recommended me to take this today so I of course came to you to see if you've made a video :D Thank you for this info!
How did they recommend you take it, keep hearing to take first day of period until overlation then dome say to take it from overlation until period starts...lil 😕
@@darrenro2 My OBGYN told me to take it everyday even on/during my period
@@angelabarron hey how are u I was wondering how do u take vitex do u take it every single day even on period n ovulation?
@@faliciabovell7504 i take it every single day before a meal. even after my period and during my period.
I read in your blog post that after you become pregnant there is no need to continue taking Vitex to increase progesterone because your body will do that on its own...is it recommended to just stop or to slowly wean off?
I believe some doctors say to stop taking it after ovulation as it has not been 100% proven to be safe during pregnancy. Other doctors say to continue taking it for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and wean off gradually so the placenta continues to make the progesterone. Taking supplements can help, but do lots of research and decide for yourself if it is worth the risk. Good luck.
Hi, I am Ashraf and I have PCOS and high prolactin as well. Do you think it’s a good idea to use vitex in my case? Please let me know.
Yep as it lowers prolactin
I have pcos and tried this and it made my liver enzymes sky rocket.
I wish i would have seen this before.
I started taking coq10 , myo inositol D-chiro 40:1,prenatal with folate, b12, probiotics with 30 million ,d3,fish oil and secretd of tea get pregnant fertility tea....ive been trying for 8 yrs and this is the 1st time ive every ovulated im really hoping these all work.
Updates
Any updates?
Omg this is interesting! I’ve been in my late 40s, TtC naturally, but at certain point my cycles became only 7 days (!) long. Yes, that short! So, I’m not getting anywhere. It’s been that for over two years now. My FSH go goes up and down a bit, my LH remains low. All this time I have been taking an Ayurvedic female health supplement that has 800mg of Chaste tree per serving, I have been taking two servings a day. Do you think it’s related? Or, is that menopause ?
Your channel is a treasure ♥
Thank you for encouraging me with you sweet words!
Yes, thank you for making women aware of their bodies.
My cycle has always been regular with ovulation on day 15 and I started taking vitex for this cycle and My ovulation has been delayed. I was wondering why as other things have been same as before. Also I had normal FSH and Lh levels. Now I am convinced it’s vitex delaying the ovulation. Thank you
Would you recommend it for premature ovarian failure/early menopause
?
I used it and I've had irregular periods for as long as I can remember. Took vitex and it delayed my period for another 4 months til I stopped using it. So far my hormones are normal but on the lower end. Idk what to do or take and my bbt wont go above 97.0 I'm on CD 30 as of today.
What dosage do you recommend? I found a chaste tree berry 225mg. Do you recommend it be taken daily? Or just for part of the cycle ?
Last month, I took vitex for a week and got my period for the first time in over 2 years (HA). And I’m still taking it. But I don’t feel good. I feel anxious and dizzy all day which I’ve never experienced before. I don’t know what is going on with my body. I don’t know what to do! I was SO happy that I’ve got my period but I REALLY don’t want to lose my period again.. Do you think I have to stop?? Do you have any suggestion? 😭❤️ Oh I took 2 and a half pills before I got my first period (first 1 week )and I lowered my dosage to 1 pill since I’ve felt anxious and not good.
I it might be some sort of shock for the hormones cuz the dosage was high to start with.. BTW I remember that I felt weird the fist week of taking Vitex then my body got used to it.. hope that you feel better
Is vitex good to take for PCOS/Insulin Resistance? I have higher testosterone levels and have not had a cycle since Aug 22, 2019.
Tiffani-Grace Alexander She says specifically in the video to not take it when you have PCOS 😊
Did you take it?
I have a cycle with 26 days and a period with 3 days. It made me think that I have a thin uterine lining. So I heard about vitex. Thank you for this video and please, do a video about thin endometrial lining.
My cycle is also 26 days and my period is about 3 days. My last ultrasound showed my uterine lining is 21mm (too thick). Don't assume yours is thin before you have it checked.. i also have really bad pms, so I am thinking of taking vitex.
My cycle is 27 days and for 3 days with moderate flow with pms .ttc around 4 months
I have high prolactin… so this may be worth a shot for me?
I’m glad I watched this. I have PCOS and was wondering if I have luteal phase defect. Thank you!
How do ads work on videos? Like if we skip the ad, do you get anything? As annoying as ads can be, I would like to support creators for providing content.
That's so sweet lovely! I'm not sure, but I think we get paid even if the ad is skipped so please do skip any time! It's nice to get something for the videos but the primary focus is to get info out there 💜
Can u please tell me. Should u stop vitex as soon as u find out u r pregnant or slowly come off it. I did hear alot of stories about if u stop 2 quick it can cause a misscarage.
Hi, love your videos. Could you perhaps do a video on Inositol. Thank you
Yes plss
Thank you for the video and I love your smile😊, im taking vitex to lower fsh should I continue after period back or no? Is there any think else u advise to lower fsh? Thank you!
Taking vitex for hormonal acne/endometriosis: why can I (according to the internet) only take Vitex 4-6 months?
It's supposed to regulate your hormones. Take a break for a month to see if your body has adjusted. If not, get back on it. This supplement is not meant to be taken long-term
Serrapeptase and endovan are also good for endometriosis
I have PCOS and Thyroid and inregular period which comes 5 to 6 months after..do you think ditex is helpful for my case??
Same
I have pcos and hypothyroidism and my cycles were absent for months, I took vitex berry for the first 4 days and got my period I've been using it for 4 months since taking it I've been getting my period for often. I've had miscarriages and low progesterone as well.
So my question is when should I stop taking in my cycles?
I started taking Vitex to help with my fertility. I did get pregnant and I am now 5 weeks along. My doctor just prescribed me progesterone inserts because I've had 2 miscarriages and a history of low progesterone. I'm wondering if you can tell me if I should continue Vitex with progesterone??? Or should I slowly stope taking it?? Thank you!
zilka1984 hi zilka, I would appreciate your response if you tell me when did u start taking vitex ? I mean during period , after period or continuously🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did you have the baby?
Then what you did? I am also 5 weeks. I have the same confusion.
Vitex really helps clear my acne!! It’s pretty good, is there anything else I can take to balance out hormones for acne? Dunno how to get to root cause of hormone imbalance btw any tips on how to find out the root cause?
Can you take vitex and pregnacare conception together?
I am on megace to treat endometrial cancer and save fertility. I’m also supposed to take DIM. I just bought some DM that also has Vitex in it. I’m not sure how much Vitex it has though. I’m wondering if I should not take it since I am on hormones as well as an IUD? obviously I’m not looking to get pregnant right now, but I’m hoping to next year when cancer is cleared prayers!
Do you recommend myoinositol
Im a bit late with this comment😂 but ill try anyway. If i dont want to get pregnant right away but im just trying to get my cycle back after birthcontrol (the other time i tried it took a full year). Can i use vitex and dont have a problem? Because fertility doest matter that much at this point i just want to at least ovulate...
Love your videos btw🩷
Thanks! I am not trying to be pregnant, just have an hormonal balance.
Wow, thanks for the information. I sell all these herbs in Nigeria,very affordable and works pretty well
Can raspberry tea mess with the hormonal system in a negative way too? I started taking coq10, magnesium and raspberry leaf tea and my boils have come back. I have also quit caffeine recently so could it maybe be the physical stress of that causing it? I’m so lost. I worry that if I stop one of the things and it goes away, it could be a red herring and maybe the thing I stopped was harmless
Will taking vitex help with lowering high prolactin levels?
Yes
Doctor's wrong descriptions dropped my prolactin levels to x3 maximum 😢 my boobs never been so swollen.
So theoretically if you have LOW prolactin then vitex isn’t the best to take?
Hello, I hope all is well. I have been diagnosed with endometriosis, PCOS , and I have 2 fibroid tumors. I did do keto for almost a year and my last two ultrasounds displayed no cyst. I am waiting to get scheduled for a myomectomy. I am currently taking prenatal vitamins, evening primrose, milk thistle, and vitex. Do you think vitex will be helpful in my case?
I'm using vitex to get rid of my fibroids. I'm already seeing a difference in my stomach(smaller)
Thank you for the video! Very helpful! Can you also make video on Clomid and similar products. Have estrogen problems due to clomid specific to bundle with it. Advantages and disadvantages of it compare to other products. Thank u
I would be interested in the effects of Clomid too. I'm in the middle of my last round of Clomid, and I have noticed that my cycles have been more irregular since trying it.
I enter the fertility stage but the day i should ovulate it backtracks and i dont ovulate. I got tested and they just said my tesosterone is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to high so it blocks ovulation but everything else is normal but drs wont help me get pregnant because i was born with skitzophrenia and they dont want another in this world but its all i want in the entire world im broken and being told over and over they wont help me breaks me more.I dont have regular periods and a full beard since i started taking it my beard has gone way down but nothing else.i need help
My fsh is high round 30 in. One month. My progesterone is normal. Should I take vitex. To lower my fsh levels
When should i start taking vitex before, during or after period & when should i stop taking it , pls i had one bolter for vitex but i still don't know how taking ???
I have low fsh to lh ratio and have regular cycles. I keep reading Vitex is good for fsh. Would it be true for increasing fsh or lowering fsh?
I've been taking this 2 weeks i have headaches why?
I have done a little experiment and found that every month I take vitex I got pregnant however had chemical pregnancy or missed miscarriage and so far 4 in total. If I dont take vitex (have actually not taken vitex for some cycles) I dont get pregnant so I think its time to stop it now. Thank you for this video. Now I need some help 😫😫
You have to take the vitex until 2nd trimester or switch to progesterone but you cant stop taking it right away. I'm sorry for your loss.
Try only taking it until you ovulate and not in the luteal phase ?
I just came across this video and it’s very helpful. I recently tested my hormone levels and my prolactin came high and my estrogen low. My doctor recommended Vitex and I started taking it 4 days before my period. My period was suppose to come yesterday and it still hasn’t come. I did not know you are suppose to stop it before your period. I’m so confused 😅. Could you please provide clarity on this? Thank you in advance.
Update please
I got some Vitex berries and I thought I would use it as tea/infusion/decoction. However, I have learned since that the important constituents are not water-soluble. That being the case what about grinding the berries and mixing them into something and eating them that way. Would that work? Thank you!
What about in the case of fibroid and TTC at 41. Would Vitex help? Thank you.
I'm 39 with fibroids. I'm taking vitex. It helps shrink fibroids
How about Iodine (potassium iodide in liquid form), for thyroid gland to stabilize hormones? Is it safe or also have concerns like regarding Vitex?
I take vitex and iodine. Take vitex in the morning on an empty stomach. Take iodine with food. Your thyroid meds should be taken a few hours away from both
Hi lovely! Hope u are good,loved all ur videos they are really helpful.my hubby is have low live count so could he take it to boost his fertility?
Maca(red or black) and nettle will boost his testosterone
Have got interstitial fibroid is vitex good. Cos have been taking it. Help!!!
hello my dear I'm in age 52is vitex benefit for me to balance my hormones
My periods are non-existing. Doesn’t vitex help with hormone imbalance? Why isn’t vitex good for Pcos again? I’m so confused 😐
What is if my cycles are normal with PCOS but unable to get pregnant, can i start vitex?
I have a regular 28 day cycle and trying to conceive from more than a year. I am confuse if I should try Pink Stork tea - it has vitex. Please review. Thanks
I used pink stork. I an 28 days cycle and I dont know why my cycle suddenly got messed up
Please, DON’T take vitex or any other fertility supplements if you have a regular cycle!!! It’s gonna MESS UP YOUR CYCLE REALLY BAD!!! It’s gonna do more harm but no good!
Blue Moon I took clomid and letrozole and they didnt mess up my cycles. How did u know that vitex can mess up regular cycles?
Jiji Felic I don’t know about clomid or vitex but I did use some herbs that are claimed to boost your fertility. I had regular 28 day cycle too but those herbs messed up my cycle. It’s been 3 years now. Still the same. I’ve even had 50 day cycle twice. I read someone else say this too that you better not take any homeopathic fertility stuff if you have a regular cycle. Wish I knew this earlier. Can’t express the amount of stress I’m in just because of my irregular cycles 😔
Blue Moon I agree with not using any homeopathic stuff. I used some of the homeopathic advices and my periods didnt appear eventhough bfn. I stopped those homeopthic stuff and I got my period back to normal. Vitex is like part of all the fertility vitamins out there and they are not homeopathic
Hi, my progesterone test serum at day 21 is 0.20😔 please guide me what to do I am on TTC for more then 2 years and I am 23 years old.
Hi, this is 8th year of my marriage. We r trying for baby.i never get pregnant. 2 IUI failed. 20 days before 1 IVF fail because of immature eggs. My follicles were 20 good in size, there are 12 eggs, so there are 3 embryos, then 2 were stopped and just 1 was good but not strong because of egg quality. Sperm were strong. I am facing problem with cyst in ovaries before IVF too. So my follicles were good but eggs were immature in it. What should i do?
How long does it take for vitex to get out of your system?? I started taking it 3 months ago when I went off HBC to try to regulate my cycle but now they have become increasingly longer (45days). I stopped taking it, but how long until my cycles return back to normal???
Hi Inge, thank you for all your informative videos. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks at the beginning of July and have been taking vitex since then to balance hormones (I think I might have low progesterone levels). In this time (~6 weeks) I have gained 10 lbs even though I am exercising and eating very well as usual (I am a nutritionist). Could vitex cause weight gain if taken for the wrong reasons? I'm feeling like my body is so out of control. I have never ever struggled with weight gain in my whole life and have always been naturally thin. Could vitex be the cause? Thanks so much xo
I think it causes weight gain too.
You can try to have liver cleaning diet with Anthony William (best selling author in USA, translated in many languages). It is just 9 day long and has great results. Take a look on his books. If you are a nutritionist you will understand quickly. Liver breaks fats so if you clean this filter (liver is our filter), it will help a lot with weight and many other things. But do not forget to take treatment for your lower progesteron once you will get pregnant again. Take a tests and keep with doctor recommendations. Good luck
What if your cycle is regular 28 days to 30 days can you used this? I'm ovulating but not getting pregnant.
Can you do a video on pmdd natural supplements? My mom said to take Vitex for the depression. I jist bought from Whole Foods. I also take 5htp LTheanine Magnesium and a multivitamin
Did it help? I had such bad pmdd last time, i had anxiety and cried for no reason for 4 days, im starting 5htp soon, already started vitex

Hi, Fleur!! I’ve loved your content so much. I had blood work done, and my doctor said I do not have PCOS (though I thought I did) after my sonogram and blood work. However, my prolactin is slightly high. All my other levels are normal. Should I try Vitex? My cycle is irregular (anywhere from 24-36 days). I never miss a period, just some cycles are so long and I don’t think I’m ovulating regularly.
Hi lovely, check out my recent video on ovulating late, that might give you some more insight. It's hard for me to assess if Vitex is right for you based on this info, also check out the blog post I've linked in this video to see if you may have low dopamine.
Fleur, thank you so much for replying!! It has been such a struggle to get answers about my cycle and fertility. You are a breath of fresh air! Thank you for all that you do. Hugs 💗
@@kater9235 I can imagine... info gets so mixed up and everyone has different opinions. That is why I aim to educate more women like you so that YOU yourself can figure out what is going on. After all.. it's YOUR body and usually you will know what is best! So it is very encouraging for me to read that you're finding the material useful, it gives me joy to know that I'm able to walk alongside you this way! 💜
I just got result back and same as you. Everything is normal except my prolactin is a little hight. I will test again and see what the doctor will suggest. What did you take to lower your prolactin?
I’m the same as you. Long cycles
Have you ever had clients who have had jpouches due to Ulcerative colitis? I’m coming up on a year of ttc and was told by my surgeon that scar tissue may be an issue when ttc. Any tips?
Mali Kat good question. I have been told I have lots of scar tissue as well. Never thought about it messing with my ttc.
Serrapeptase really reduced mine. I take high dosages on an empty stomach. It will literally dissolve fibrous tissue. I have endometriosis and it has helped to heal this. It drastically reduces inflammation. Highly recommend. But it also thins the blood so don’t take before any surgery or anything. Best wishes.
hi, thank you for your video. I've been taking Vitex for almost three months. it cleared my cystic acne that I had for the last year but I've noticed that im getting clear discharge way before my normal ovulating time. I had a regular cycle before I started and it still is but it just seems like my ovulation doesn't happen or happen too early.
I took a blood test last month while on Vitex and my estrogen was still very high and my progesterone low.
my doctor recommends me to take progesterone made from yams...
im lost with all these informations please help
Laureenmtp if you’re cycle is regular you don’t need to take it
I have only ever read online that vitex lowers prolactin...I am so confused now...
Not producing enough progesterone because of stress what to do?
Could also be a dopamine issue as well due to lack of sleep.
Following. I have PCOS and am on clomid and still having problems conceiving...🥺
Thanks for this, I shouldn't be taking it. I have estrogen dominance and it vitex isn't suitable for me

But in this month my period get missed not come yet today is 24 July .Even My pregnancy test is also negative .
I have PCOS also . Seeking for your suggestions .
I have fabroid do you advice me to have vitex?
Is it ok to stop taking vitex straight away or is there another way of stopping??
You can stop right away if you feel you need to.
I have premenstrual spotting does it help me?
I've heard taking Wild Yam Root extract is good for helping with a luteal phase defect?
There’s a Wild yam cream called Anna’s Wild Yam Cream. It’s great!
When you are an infertile couple, kindly give a try on the *ThePregnancyFact. Com* I highly got troubled with the outcomes that I was getting from the West prescriptions. Right after a some few months of undergoing planned acupuncture treatment plans as well as sticking to a healthy diet plan, I became conceiving a child. Seeing my year old daughter walking around around the house is highly enchanting. get much about this wonderful plan from Google.?
My prolactin is only very slightly elevated but my progesterone and estrogen came back normal, so vitex probably wouldn't be for me right?
Hi Doc ,My prolactin level is elevated . 30 ng/ml , I have some stress issues, Facing irregular period, I did an ultrasound, it doesn’t say i have pcos ,the impression in normal for uterus and ovaries but it says several follicles are seen in both ovaries, Should i take vitex for lowering my prolactin level? I believe that this higher prolactin is messing with my ovulation and periods , so I want to give it a try ,what’s your opinion ? Please reply
Love you and thanks a million for very good info.😍
What about taking it in peri menapuse? You are a great resource to mankind , thank you
