I have started taking Vitex now to help regulate my AF. On the package it says not to take during pregnancy- does this mean that once I Ov I should stop taking it until next AF arrives (or BFN) or is it safe to take until I get a BFP? Just curious as to what others do. Cheers, ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

There is heaps of conflicting info about when to stop taking it. I understand it's pretty safe to take until you get a bfp... and that's what I am doing. But some say you should stop taking when Ov is confirmed... There are some that recommend taking for the first trimester to help prevent m/c. ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

yea I agree with Freckle, there is so much conflicting info on Vitex... but there is consistent advice not to take it once you have a BFP or during AF. |

I chose to not take it after ovulation however Rachel25 was taking it when she conceived Chelsea and she took it up until BFP and Chelsea is fine
I am pretty sure it is fine, but if you are really worried you could always stop once you were sure you had ovulated. Fingers crossed your cycle sorts out quickly!! -------------

I was seeing a naturopath, she got me to stop taking it when I got my BFP, but the next week when I saw her she gave me another concoction of herbs (including vitex) that I had to take until 12 weeks, to support my hormones. -------------
