I came off the Pill just after Easter and got my AF staight away. Since there I haven't had another AF (have taken several different pregnancy tests and all BFN) and it has now been 42 days (normal cycle around between 28-30 days). I have been reading that taking Vitex can help regulate your cycles and make AF come. Is this correct? Should I be talking to my doc about it first? or is it safe to just start taking it? I just want my AF to come so we can start TTC.... ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Might pay to go talk to your local health store, everyone is different and it's worth making sure you get what you need. I take Femzone which has vitex in it and have found it really good, but everyone is different so what works for me maynot be so good for you. good luck. ------------- Angel babies Mar '04, Oct '08 and Sep '09. |

Hi Mum2Ella, I think it should be safe to take Vitex because it is natural (not a drug) and if you start noticing any side effects (some people get tired or have headaches) then you can decide if you want to stop it. Apparently it takes 2 to 3 months to take effect. I would also consider taking vitamin B6 (50mg) which helps to regulate your hormones too
