Any help about these herbs would be great!

I'm a newbie at taking herbs and I'm not sure how much of each to start off with. If you have advice about any of these herbs, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I'm TTC, possible PCOS but with very regular periods (although I don't ovulate every month), have insulin resistance, and I just stopped taking Metformin about two weeks ago (it was making me way too sick).

So here are the herbs I just bought:

Vitex agnus-castus
Evening Primrose Oil
Chromium
Cinnamon
False Unicorn Root

I'm also thinking of trying Red Raspberry Leaf. Would anyone recommend that? Thanks!

Do you want to know what they do?

I take the Vitex agnus-castus and I'm very happy with it so far and there have been many success stories with it. My cm is finally getting "readable" if that makes sense, before it was the same consistancy and now its not. My appetite has gone from constantly hungry to now eating regular 3 meals a day and my moods have leved out.. I dunno if its suppose to help with all of that but those are definet changes I've noticed. I'm hoping it will help me with TTC #1 this year. Good luck with all your herbs,

Thanks for the link, qween.

Policewife, that's awesome that it's curbed your appetite! I loved that Metformin did that for me but after awhile, I literally couldn't eat ANYTHING. So it'd be nice to just have to eat 3 meals a day.
