Question Going Herbal

Well I never thought I would go herbal. Its not really my style as I have been working more towards eating right and working out. Thing is AF didn't come this month and I feel like a beached whale.

I have bloat, consistently feel like I am cramping and a little bit crankier than usual. So I figured what the heck, lets trial it for a month and see how it goes.

So what I do right now

Eat 1200kcal a day
Work out for 60 minutes each day 5x days a week
Take Bio-life stuff for my tummy as I find that helps keep the bloat down.

What I am going to do
Taking a prostate tablet for the Saw Palmetto (500mg) - I double checked this one has nothing nasty in it that would raise testosterone and the guy promised me it didn't.

Vitex Agnus Castus (500mg)
White Peony (700mg)
Chamomile (670mg)
Ginger (170mg)
B6 (30mg)
Horsetail (100mg)

Now the question is, should I be upping the dosage of Agnus Castus and White Peony? I can take this pill 3x in a day which would give me a whopping 1500mg of AC and 2100mg of WP.

Anyone have any advice here?

Cheers in advance and I will let you know if AF shows herself again anytime soon!

<----- not quite a whale, but you get the idea :OP

WHAT IS IN THESE PILLS?!?!?!?!?!

I took the first pill when I posted this message at about 3pm yesterday - its now 11.00am and I got AF!!!

Now it could be just a coincidence? Has anyone else had amazing results like this? Only problem being is I am an AGONY - oooo my tummy hurts :O(

Better than no AF though, so I am delighted!!!

Thanks guys, this shows how much I was paying attention to this post. I hadn't noticed the replies! AF was really good decent flow, lasted 6 days and now I am dead keen to see if I ovulate.

Its so exciting seeing your body get back to normal!
