Default Effect of herbs/supplement on charting temps?

Hello,
I've been taking vitex, NAC, and EPO (and multivitamins and B complex) for about 2 weeks now. I've also been charting my temps for the first time. I have read about anovulatory cycles having temps that are all over the place. That's how my temps started but now they are within a tenth of a degree of each other for the past 5 days (~97.5). For those of you who chart, does this mean that my supplements seem to be helping to regulate my hormones? Or are the two not necessarily linked? I'm on day 45 after a natural miscarriage (and I'm not pregnant now) and my doc said I could take Provera if AF didn't come within another week but if it looks like the supplements are working, then I'm willing to wait a little longer. I didn't start charting until day 35-ish, though.
Thanks!

If you can give me a couple more days, I might be able too answer this Or at least give my opinion.. I started Vitex ONLY 4 days ago, but I *THINK* I am seeing really good results as far as charting goes.. Give me a couple more days! I know it takes time too work, so could be coincindence.. We'll see though

EPO is Evening Primrose Oil
NAC is N-Acetyl-Choline (not sure if I spelled correctly but it is an amino acid)

Oh yeah herbs and supplements can help level out temps really fast. I seen a difference on epo alone. I added in some herbs and it changed a bit again, so don't be freaked out if next month your charts looks a little different than this month

Remember me The one who asked you too wait a few says *lol* Well it has been more then a few days! At first I thought Vitex had raised my temps, but it looks as if I ovulated *finally*.. Which I took for the Vitex raising my temps..I was only on Vitex for one day before I O'd so I know it was not the Vitex that helped me, but prob the other herbs, I anxious too either see a BFP, or see My cycle too begin. I wanna see if Vitex helps with my temps, and if it raises them, or helps too stableize them!

Kristensmom:
That's great. Good luck with the BFP...And if that doesn't work out, hopefully the herbs can help prepare your body for one in the near future!

I am on CD50 today but my temps have stayed low over the past week or so, rather than the erratic pattern prior to starting herbs. I think the Vitex (and I also started Dong Quai last week) is helping them be more consistent but only time will tell. I am actually starting a round of Provera today because I don't want to wait too long. Maybe with a new cycle, I can properly watch things from day 1.
