Question Might be a silly question ...

I've been on vitex since September 7th and have had no AF yet. (Although I had a raised temperature for 3 days just a week after starting - which perhaps accounts for my current impatience!)

Anyway, I am curious about the following:

Since vitex regulates hormones, is there any point in adding any additional (hormonal) supplements - like a herbal tea, for example?

Are some cysters' hormones so mixed up that vitex just isn't enough?

Thank you for your patience (I'm in a quandry about investing in some tea and don't want to waste money - living in Taiwan, the postage alone is a killer).

emmao,
Here is my experience with vitex. I took it every day twice a day for two months before getting AF. I take the pills. After the 1st month and no AF, I added natural progesterone cream on cd 14-28. it was probably a week after I stopped the NPC that af came. I think most people will tell you to be patient. Vitex is a slow acting herb and can take up to 6 months to work. This may not be the route for you to take. I am just letting you know what has worked for me.
