Talking Vitex has workered

I'm new to posting here, I have been lurkering around for about a year now and have found out so much here esp. to what it is I have, I went to Dr. to Dr. for yrs over no AF, went thru tons of tests and everyone would say, *We didn't find anything wrong it must be your nerves*, I would either have to have shots or Provera to have a AF, in the past 3-4 yrs things got worse, the weight gain, no matter what i did it wouldn't come off, i startered getting hair on my upper lip, chin lower part of my stomach, the AF got even worse, last yr I had 3 the yr before 4 never on my own thow with the help of pills, we'll i printed out some stuff i looked up and finally went to my family Dr in March and told her what i was almost certain I had and everything thats been done over the past few yrs she said she to had it and she knew what i was talking about she'd went thru the same thing! Finally someone who listoned that felt like a load off my shoulders, blood tests showed it (i forget what she called the test thow ) She said there are other methods women find to help and ask if i had internet and if i looked I would find things to help sense I didn't want or could afford med's, so I looked and looked and starting reading posts on here and went friday and bought Vitex, I did have a period on my own at the end of Jan then again end of Feb (something new for me) I think all that was due to stress thow my FIN passed away christmas Eve and things really had me a mess, anyhow about the Vitex, I started taking it last friday and same day started a low carb. diet, well here it is a week later and I started AF this morning and have also lost 7 lbs I feel so much better I can't beleive it, my skin has gotton so soft also. I hope this keeps me on track I hate so bad not having AF and haveing those awful cramps each month its worse than having AF. I just thought I'd let everyone know how much you ladies have helped me and that this did work for me, now I hope it works for my sister she hasn't had AF sense last yr in May and also started taking Vitex last friday and low carb. Thanks again Diane

Congrats! I am really happy for you. You have given me some hope. I just happened to buy vitex yesterday. Then I happened across your post. I hope it works for me too - as I have only had AF on my own 2 or 3 times in the last 14 years. I have started a low carb diet about thee weeks ago - so now I guess I just sit back and see what happend. At least I am feeling better with loosing weight!

Can I ask how much you take? I have the liquid form and it says 10 - 20 drops a cup 2 - 3 times a day. I thought the directions were a bit vague. I have started with 10 drops, 2x a day.


Congrats and best of luck to your sister!

Susanne , I take the pill form 400mg ea. I take 2 in the morning & 2 midday & 2 in the evening, It just amazes me it workered so fast, i feel so much better already haven't felt this good in years, something that these have workered way better on me than any med's a Dr has given me never could lose weight no matter what i did but boy was i gaining it thow
So far my sister hasn't gotton AF but it has been longer for her having one than me i did tell her i read for some it can take up to 3 mo's and not to give up, she has lost weight thow 5 lbs sense she started them that shes happy about, shes hopping to get everything straightened out and hopefully start O with these, which i hope she does to she wants a baby so bad.
Goodluck & let me know if this works for you to, I'll keep my fingers crossed Diane

I was thinking about adding vitex into my mix. What exactly is it used for? I have heard it help start AF and help O. Also, when to take? I have heard all the time, only from start of AF to day of O, and a few others. I am confused - the more post I read, the more confused I get! All help welcomed and greatly appreciated.
