Default new here, question about Alesse-28

Hi, I'm new to the site but I have been an avid reader. I was given Alesse-28 to control my period and I have seen a slight difference. My question is does anyone know if I can take Saw palmetto and Vitex with BCP. I haven't asked my dr. about it yet but before I do I would like to know. I was taking saw palmetto for a month before I went to see my doctor and I noticed a big difference in my hair loss, none. I also read that Vitex can help with irregular periods. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rachel

Just wanted to say hi-- I am also on Alessa and doing pretty well on it. I don't know about your questions, though.

I wouldn't see any reason you couldn't take SP with BCPs - it should be not much different than taking Spiro and a BCP - but why would you want to take vitex? Most women seem to take vitex to help with their cycles and ovulation... you don't want to ovulate on BCP anyway!
