Default Vitex: What brand are you taking

Hi I was just wondering what different brands of Vitex is everyone taking?

I've been taking Puritan Pride since Feb 29, 08 at 1600 MG. I know that all brands aren't exactly the same. I just wanted to know if anyone has received a BFP using Puritan Pride. Or what brand aided you in getting your BFP. TIA

Lindsay & Witchy thanx for your response. Have either of you experiened an unusally long AF? I normally don't spot but this cycle I spotted about 3 days before AF and I've been spotting for 3 days now no flow. It's just really irritating maybe the vitex is just regulating my hormones.

I take St. Francis Herb Farm - Tota Vita Vitex Combo 45 drops twice a day. I've only been on it for just less than 2 months. I've always had regular cycles in the sense that they come every month but were very heavy and lasted 8 days. Since I've been taking the vitex my cramps haven't been as bad, my period isn't as heavy (no more clotting) and they've been lasting 6-7 days instead of 8.

SGordon - Thanx I guess the Vitex is doing what it's suppose to. When I was on bcp almost 5 yrs ago my AF was very short 3-4 and light w/ hardly any cramping. This natural cycle has been just weird I've been having a little clotting and I've never done this in the past. So I was a little concerned but, then again it could just be old lining. Because my previous cycle which were induced by prometrium just consisted on spotting for 3-4 days (pantyliner only).

Hi I'm new to this board and I just started taking Vitex this week (Nature's Way) 400mg. My cycles are very long, my last one was 58days, this one currently cd37. I have been reading conflicting reports about stopping Vitex after a confermed O. I had a +opk on cd 17, no temp rise, and 2+'s on cd 27 and 28 again no temp rise. SO, in reality this is not a confermed O then right?? I have only been taking this a week and the last 2 days I have been cramping and pmsing like I'm going to start my period, can this be working this soon on such a low dose???

I use Holland & Barrett's own brand (national health food shop chain here in the UK). Been using it 3 months and have had 3 periods in that time. Before, I'd be lucky to have one or two periods a year. This stuff works!

Daisy - I've never heard of stopping Vitex after Oing. But check the Vitex thread I think those ladies to continously use it.

Polly - Wow it's very effective with your body. How is your AF on vitex...bad cramping, long AF, do you have any of those symptoms?
