VITEX DOES NOT MESS WITH YOUR CYCLE IF IT’S REGULAR. You just have to use it on specific days of your cycle to ensure hormones are in balance, since this herb affects hormones!

Hey ladies,

I can’t recall how many times I’ve seen this topic brought up in various ttc forums, just want to clear the Vitex issue for those that find it confusing on how to take it.

Vitex DOES help with fertility. This herb stimulates the increase of progesterone hormone therefore is good at regulating the cycle and helping helping out with an array of other issues, including endometriosis.

If you have estrogen dominance (which by the way causes endometriosis) this herb is for you! If you have low progesterone, this herb is for you! If you have found yourself with recurrent miscarriages and your doctor advised you have a low level of progesterone, this herb might help.

BUT HOW?

I notice many ladies stating Vitex messed with their regular cycle. Let me tell you, IT WILL if you take it throughout your cycle!

And you’re not supposed to do it. Since this herb stimulates progesterone, you gotta take it ONLY after ovulation - 12 to 14 days before your next period since this is the time frame when your progesterone levels naturally boost. Otherwise you’re just messing with your hormonal balance and that’s not healthy.

Please share the word with others! Vitex is such a useful herb, but it needs to be taken cautiously.

Baby dust to everyone!
