Angry Should I stop taking vitex?

Hi, I'm new to here, I'm 20 years old and I'm getting married in October. anyways, I have pcos and my periods were coming about every other week and it was getting quite annoying so I started up on Vitex to regualate them. I've been taking it for about 2 months now and ever since I've started taking it I havnt gotten my period at all. so 2 months without a period. Should I stop taking it? I want my periods to be regular!! I'm gonna want kids sometime!! And I don't want to be put on Birthcontrol.

SOOOO, should I stop taking the vitex since it's making my period not come at all now? and if yes...does anyone know anything else that can help them regulate without bc?

please help!! Thank you!

Fish Oil (omega 3s) got my period regular but Im now on a BCP. Prior to fish oil I was getting a period every 50 days and fish oil helped get it more regularly at 28-32days.

Your body may just be catching up with the vitex and regulating out. However, Im pretty sure that taking any kind of herb should take longer than 2 months to work. I would give it more time and see what happens. I mean, as long as there aren't other side effects, why not stick it out for awhile and see what happens?

Most of the time it takes around 90 days to see a difference. I'd try it for a little longer before giving it up.

Give it another month, I'm sure you will see results. Vitex works slowly, so don;t give up on it just yet.
