 Topic: Vitex and preseed worked for me!
Posted: 12 November 2008 at 10:20am |

just wanted to encourage anyone ttc .. both times I have used Vitex the following month I have gotten BFP, and also this time was my first cycle of trying Preseed and I would so recommend it - I didnt even really ever see fertile mucus, but I think this stuff acts as your mucus if you know what I mean. Vitex , pressed and prayer worked for me...best wishes to all TTC ....

Hi Limochick - Preseed is a sperm friendly lubricant ( I only just found out that other lubricants kill sperm/or they have trouble swimming through it after we had been using them for 3 yrs and no BFP!) it is very similar to fertile CM, and for me this time, I never even seemed to have fertile mucus, we just used preseed every time we BD for a week and yippee! it worked. It is more costly that normal lubes. but to me the $ was worth it for a baby! PM me if you want to find out where to buy it(BTW I have nothing to do with the selling of it, Im just a fan)

Hey ladies,
I am wanting to know more about this Vitex.
My mother in-law works in a pharmarcy and has for 30 years, she is very much into the natural side of medicine. I asked her about it and she said it was used for woman going through menopause, she is going to research it though.
If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

Dayna my understanding is that its used to balance hormones and to regulate cycles. It also relieves PMS, tender breasts, cramping and all those girly issues we suffer from.
I used it for one cycle then changed to EPO. I will be going back to Vitex next cycle though.

I was on Vitex for a couple of months when I got my BFP. My cycle length had changed for no particular reason and I wanted to regulate it which apparently Vitex does. Worked for me!! Of course you have to stop taking Vitex as soon as you find out you're pg.

If you come off the injection can you go on Vitex before AF comes?
I am waiting for AF and all this stuff is confusing to me, so I have to go one step at a time.. I don't even know what EWCM is.. I guess when it happens I will know?? I hope I know??

Suzbub have you been trying to get pg this cycle?? If not then you can definitely start taking Vitex now. If you have been trying them I'd wait until your next cycle starts as you cant take it while pregnant.
EWCM = Egg White Cervical Mucous (sp) = Very fertile mucous (usually appears just before and around ovulation).

Well I've given up on the vitex, I was getting really tired and I also got really bad headaches but oh well at least I tried it. Did anyone else get any side effects?

Limochick I felt really overemotional when I took it and when I stopped I went back to normal. It was a shame as it sounds like it's worked for quite a few people but I tried it for 3 or 4 months so at least I gave it a good go.

I got really tired suzbub and since I've stopped it I am back to normal. I was only on it for a month so I guess it didnt' really get a chance but dh was getting really annoyed with my side effects .
