Hey ladies!

Just marking my spot. I've been taking a vitex combo (contains Vitex agnus-castus, Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, Motherwort, Wild Yam, Oats, Lavender, and Ginger), an adrenal supplement and fish oil for almost 3 months...don't want to miss out on the discussion this month!

Dana - I need to go buy some more, the one I used recently... I had for awhile, though it's still good according to the expiration day, I think I want a new one, and maybe a different brand. I am getting a different brand of Vitex too, the next time I order. See if that will make the difference. I am sprinkling, more like pouring, cinnamon on my cereal in the morning, and in milk during the day... I hope it will work the same as the tablets, plus I am still taking ACV.... cut it down to the evenings only. Just playing the waiting game.... sigh.

This is what Wikipedia says about Wild Yam:

Wild Yam is believed to be helpful to the liver and endocrine system. It regulates the female system, particularly during menstrual distress and menopause,as well as used in treating infertility. Used with chaste berry and dandelion it is an effective treatment for morning sickness.

I have also read that it is a muscle relaxer and thus great for menstrual cramps, which I had a hell of a time with.

I'm taking the combo as recommended by my Naturopath and it is all in one tincture. I never would have thought to take all those things separately on my own.

I'm due to test in 4 days, but I will probably wait about a week, and if AF never shows THEN i will test (maybe). I hate getting negative tests. But its hard knowing that I would be far enough that I could tell on some of the more sensitive tests.

Faith- get more! lol NPC is a nice way to get things rolling while the herbs are taking its time to work. I was gonna order cinnamon online but i think i will go to out and try to find 1000mg so i can start taking it sooner.

Sgordon- Interesting..thanks for the info!

Linds- Good luck! do you feel any symptoms?
