Default Should I Increase The Dose?

Ok Ive been taking Vitex since Aug. 19th, about 2 and a half weeks later I noticed not quite spotting, what I call "streaking". It was off and on for two days and that was it. I would like to believe that the Vitex is TRYING to work but maybe Im just not taking enough? Ive been taking 400mg capsules twice a day.

For those taking Vitex, what dosage do you take? I bought the Solaray Vitex and it says take it 4 to 6 capsules a day. I thought in all my reading 1600-2400mg isnt necessary but maybe I should increae it to 1600mg at least???

Just looking for opinions and curious what everyone else was taking. OR if anyone had some spotting or "streaking" maybe the first couple of months before getting an actual AF?

Thanks in advance for any info, suggestions, opinions...

It can take upto six (6) months to work.

Persevere, it is worth it.

Thanks...Ive read that on numerous sites but it was nice to see SOMETHING happening, just wondering if I was taking too little though. Ive been trying to find some place that has a recommended dose, what the bottle suggests seems like too much.
