Avatar f tn I would suggest trying Vitex (chasteberry). I don't ovulate at all on my own and started taking the Vitex in January. Since then, I did ovulate once in April, which is a huge improvement!
Avatar f tn t get a period for three months and they said I had low progesterone and because of that they wanted to give me another BC to get me my periods which I refused because me and the hubs wanted a baby, so I heard about vitex and bought some and within twoonths of me taking it I got a period a positive opk test and within a week fell pregnant, unfortunately I lost the baby, but it does work and I suggest it to anyone who wants to use it or as questions...
4689203 tn?1389202204 If you want to try something natural, Vitex Fruit does help women ovulate who are having difficulty ovulating. Women with PCOS, who don't ovulate consistantly have taken this with success in attaining pregnancy. I have a close friend who wasn't ovulating due to PCOS, took Vitex for 2-3 months and was pregnant. My husband and I also tried Vitex after almost 3 years of infertility and it worked for us. Vitex works by genlty balancing your progesterone levels.
Avatar f tn This is my second month on femara. I am on cd15 and my follies are growing so slow - only 13.5mm! (Last month they were 17mm on cd12!). Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Also, what is too slow? Is there a day by which your RE would just stop the cycle and induce AF? I am just worried to get prego so late in my cycle. The 2 miscarriages I had were when I ovulated late (but were natural cycles, no meds).
Avatar f tn ) I am trying to conceive now for 18mths, i went to a natropath last month and he put me on chaste berry tablets or otherwise known as vitex, i took them from 27th july up to 15th august then stopped, i went to see a gyno in that week and he put me on clomid tablets i started taking them on the 19th - 23rd august and then went back on vitex on the 27th august until now.
Avatar n tn I too am thinking about trying fertilaid, and I have heard more ggod things than bad about vitex (or chasteberr). I used to have extremely irregular cycles. When I first went to my doctor after ttc for almost 2 years, he gave me provera to enduce a period and clomid for CD 3-7 for the following cycle. I became regular with 32 day cycles, and we conceived about the 2nd clomid cycle. I had a mc and we took a break from ttc, and this last year without it, I am still at 32 day cycles.
5216625 tn?1381198626 s so good to read such positive stories on injectable. We did 2 cycles of the IUI with femara and on the 3rd time I was not able to produce a mature follicle and now our doctor has suggested for us to try the injectables. How many cycles did anyone usually have before they had success?
1118139 tn?1311720678 have been on fertility meds cloimd and injections (femara?) through about 10 cycles. have had 2 miscarriages. needless to say, i am nearing the end of my rope with the whole ttc thing... i was wondering if anyone has ever had success (or knew anyone who had success) getting pregnant on herbal supplements like fertility blend or fertilaid? i've done some research and thinking this might be my next step. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
325477 tn?1250551309 Oops, just saw you tried Clomid already. Ask about Femara (also called Letrozole) and injectables.
613471 tn?1244201788 And have become pregnant 2 times, once resulting in a Tubal and a miscarriage and so i read on line about Vitex and decided to give it a try and stick to it and see and document my progress and this is what I have come up with. Not only has it helped shorten my period went from 8-9 days down to 5 days 3 of them being medium type bleeding. And 1 heavy day and a light day.
4625099 tn?1431314305 ) I wouldnt take vitex or macca with DHEA, both of these things amongst other things they do, help balance out yur hormones, and DHEA is a hormone...
Avatar f tn It takes a while to regulate you I got my AF on time the first month and then after. I Love Vitex it help me get normal AF and better not even bleeding alot and short AF are great. Ov on CD 12 thats even better. but as for Rachey I would see what your doc says about why you late with AF might need to do a Blood test to make sure your not pregos. Good luck girls and hope all works out for you with the Vitex.
1452614 tn?1312303518 m using vitex as well. and I really notice a difference in my cycles. I have quite irregular periods and the vitex really helps to regulate them. Also helps with my ovulation. The reason i started using vitex is because i didnt know when/if i was ovulating. And this cycle i'm also charting my CM, which is soo helpful! I can finally know when I'm ovulating. By the looks of my CM i should be ovulating today or in the next few days!
760095 tn?1234184874 I am now trying for another baby but after stopping birth control 12/07 my cycles became very irregular. I started taking maca and vitex in October and since then my cycles have regulated. now i too am playing the wait and see game each month. i bought my pregnancy tests online and have saved alot of money compared to the in store cost. so i won't go broke checking a couple of times a month. good luck. P.S. my dr has never mentioned taking fertility drugs just because i only have one tube.
1280541 tn?1271282858 I am now going for natural, but I am taking vitamins such as Macaroot and Vitex. Now, I am on the 2ww train. I feel good, about this cycle and really feel, it will happen in the next few months. My blood test is May 6.
Avatar f tn i tried femara and provera bt they NEVER worked fo me.guess my uterus is just stubborn and lazy.now im using VITEX and natural progesterone cream nw.all natural ,tired of drugs.i wll update yu the results in 2 weeks time.coz i have been using these two for only 2 weeks now.lots of baby dust and good luck frm mimi86.
1068361 tn?1290628159 Great post! I am curious about this too. First time it took two tries. Used clear blue easy digital OPK. Nothing but prenatal vitamins. M/C around 5 1/2 weeks. Second time we got pregnant on the first try. clear blue easy digital OPK. Again, nothing but prenatal vitamins, m/c around 4 weeks. Third time we got pregnant on the first try. We were with an RE at this point. We added baby aspirin, progesterone suppositories and 2mg folic acid on top of the regular pre-natal vitamins.
Avatar f tn I have been ttc for about 8 months now, last November I was diagnosed with PCOS and had all the cysts and symptoms. I was prescribed metformin and spirolactin and began birth control. In March when I started ttc I stopped the birth control had regular periods until July then didn't have a period at all for 3 months and negative HPT and blood tests :(. My doctor put me on Progesterone (1 pill for 10 days) and I received my period 4 days after my last pill.
611149 tn?1540336138 My Naturopathic Doctor wants me to try Vitex now because my levels are peaked and thinks Vitex will help maintain it. How much do you take and for how long in your cycle? Did you get any side effects from it? Thank-you.
Avatar m tn My hubby and I went through almost 3 years of infertility treatments and testing...Vitex Fruit gave us our little miracle. I had only taken it for 3 weeks when it worked. Since then, I have recommened Vitex to 2 close friends, one with PCOS, both are now pregnant after only taking it 2-3 months. I try to share the success of Vitex with everyone I know who is TTC because it definitely works. Good luck and great choice for the Vitex.
Avatar n tn I refused the birth control pills and said that my husband and I are trying to conceive, that was when I was 31, as I am now 33. I read and researched and I found vitex and started taking it. Within 2 months my periods had regulated and I was on a 31 day cycle like I used to be when I was younger. I finally got pregnant and miscarried and now have slowly began regulating back to normal.
144100 tn?1283522567 Also, I have read that Clomid can lead to endo coming back quicker. Is this true and is it also true of Femara? I am very worried that then endo will come back, and I would really like the Femara to work well!! Thank You!
Avatar f tn Part of my issue was my progesterone levels, which Vitex helped to correct. I have since had 2 good friends try it, one with PCOS and very irregular cycles and the other recently off birth control with irregular cycles...both are now pregnant after only taking Vitex for 2-3 months. This supplement gave us our miracle. I know we'll use it again when trying for baby #2. There's a lot of success stories out there with Vitex. We're definitely one of them.
Avatar f tn I used Clomid for one cycle and it worked. Did you ovulate on Femara? Some women with PCOS have better luck with Femara than they had with Clomid.
611149 tn?1540336138 It is nice to be welcomed and share experiences with one another. I feel really positive about taking Vitex and I look forward to my BFP real soon. GOD BLESS.
Avatar f tn I am so so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the pain of losing your child to SIDS :*( We have a few ladies in this forum who have PCOS. One is peterjl and after a long time of trying she just got her BFP. Have you looked into any natural herbs, such as vitex? I know a couple of ladies who have been successful with it. I too have fertility issues, not PCOS, but DH and I have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
