Default Differences amongst fertility aids

I didn't see a post like this, so if I missed it, I apologize and please point me in the right direction!

I'm looking into fertility aids: I was told about Vitex, and while researching it, I've found FertileAid as well. Then while researching that, I read that using prenatals + Vitex works just as well as FertileAid, but was much cheaper. What are everyone's experiences with them? I've seen quite a few posts on here already about Vitex working, is that what you all would go with? Anyone had any positive (no pun intended) results with anything else?

There's been a few fertility enhancing vitamin supplements on the market in recent years - fertilaid, fertility blend, and ovulex. Ovulex went belly up, though I am not sure why.

They all seem to contain a "proprietary blend" which I think allows them to tell you WHAT is in it but not what amounts... and it seems vitex is the common theme to all of them.

I am just taking vitex with the thinking that that is what is most active, if it is going to do anything. There are lots of vitex-only success stories out there.

I am taking Nature's Way vitex (fruit) 400mg capsules, but after ordering wish I had ordered the Nature's Way Femaprin which is a slightly different formulation and may be a little both.

Both can be had quite cheaply.

Oh - I also take a multi vite... I have a bottle with a mix of geritol, Target prenatals, and Target "weight sense." I just take whatever comes out...

I took vitex and dong quai together and other herbs at various times. None of them helped regulate my cycle (I didn't have a single 'natural' cycle my entire life until 8 months ago when I stopped eating - weird huh?).

I TTC for over a year before trying Ovulex. I took it unconventionally and got a BFP on my 4th cycle.

Ovulex gave me periods. Ovulex made me ovulate. Ovulex was WELL worth the money since I got a beautiful baby girl out of it.

I don't work for Ovulex and make no commissions on it, but I am an AVID Ovulex supporter because I am living PROOF that it works. Not just because I got pregnant, but because NOTHING else (besides provera) gave me periods. Clomid made me ovulate, but I never got preggo on it.

Ovulex was MY miracle pill and my daughter IS an Ovulex baby

Good luck to anyone trying, but I would shell out the extra $$ for something that is more likely to work (for me!).
