Is my VITEX working?

So I have extremely irregular/absent periods and an excess amount of body hair. I was at the OB/GYN a few years ago and all my levels were normal and was told that a lot of my issues were genetic, however I’m pretty convinced I have PCOS or some kind of thyroid issue. Anyways, before going to the doctor I was told by a nutritionist to try and bring my hormones to more ‘normal’ levels by making serious lifestyle/diet changes. I have a lot of high stress situations in my life. I’m pretty holistic myself so biopsies and internal ultrasounds don’t sound very appealing. That being said, I’m giving myself 6 months of eating clean and exercising/reducing stress to see if I can improve things!

I started taking Vitex per her encouragement in June. July 1st hit and I already had a period! I haven’t had a full blown normal period since then, but did have several occasions where I spotted red/brown for a 7-day period almost 34 days after the previous episode. Nutritionist is almost certain that they were just lighter periods. I also used to spot a TON. Like I would spot brown almost all the time, and that has stopped. Does this sound like it’s working to you guys?

I feel good overall- I take supplements and aside from the period issues I have a good amount of energy, sleeping well, no absolutely terrible issues. So hopefully progress is being made!!
