1339395 tn?1317263821 Doctors probably won't talk to you much about alternative therapies like herbal supplements and what not. I know mine didn't! I took Vitex (Chastberry) to help regulate my cycles. I also started acupuncture to help balance things out. I tried on my own to conceive for about 8 months before starting the Vitex. I really saw immediate changes when I started taking it. I started the acupuncture a few weeks after the vitex.
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.

Avatar f tn with my menses I was on fertility drugs to help with ovulation so lets see if I will ovulate with just the metformin... anyone ever tried vitex together with metformin I heard/read that vitex helps with O ... and regulating AF just wanted to hear some stories... ok .. good luck to all SSBD!!!!

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with pcos 4 years ago, I was prescribed metformin 500 mg by my doc and then after a month I was pregnant. i am currently trying again but no luck yet., metformin didn't work this time. I'm currently on estrosense,evening primerose and vitex.
Avatar f tn I am 28 and have three babies. I have suffered from pcos since I was 16. I see an endocrinologist for Every thing. I've been on metformin and seasonings.
Avatar f tn t following it to get pregnant - I was doing it for to be healthier and try and manage my symptoms more naturally and literally within weeks of doing it we had a bfp surprise! I've always had trouble with weightloss and it really helped me too ! Good luck to you both and hope you get your bfp soon.
Avatar f tn Make sure and try and take it at the same time everyday if you can. Yes colmid can be taken by people with PCOS. It does have a pretty good rate of success as does most medications for fertility. So do not let that friend discourage you! If you want a baby go for it! Good luck honey will be praying for ya!
Avatar f tn I started to change my diet and started taking prenatal vitamins,vitex and metformin. Has anyone tried vitex and if so has it helped at all? Is there any other natural ways to help infertility and beat PCOS? With my daugjter it was all natural I didn't even know I had PCOS so this is a different Challenge for me and it's been hard:( Help!
Avatar n tn But I was way strict on my diet and exercise and lost weight and then got pregnant. But ive heard lots of positive results with metformin!
Avatar n tn It has taken me and my husband 6 years to get pregnant almost seven. We finally did it through a specialist who has had us on a diet, metformin, and provera. If I can be an ear...
Avatar f tn I have PCOS, and I have been taking Metformin and Vitex extract as my Dr. ordered I ovulated around the 19th-22nd of November, according to when I felt it and other signs. I am not sure when to do HPT because I don't want to do it to early and my periods are so erratic that I really don't know when I am late for sure or AF just has not come yet.
Avatar f tn Hi, I also have pcos i was diagnosed about 7 months ago, my husband and I have been ttc for almost 3 years. Are you on metformin? It regulates hormones and in some cases can help you get pregnant, it is not a fertility treatment so you should not have to wait a year. You should see a reproductive endocrinologist they can put you on metformin.
Avatar f tn Weight gain, irregular periods and acne were all side effects for me and still are
325477 tn?1250551309 i am now 3 months pregnant (Today actually!) and I was on Metformin, using preseed and a few herbal things that are meant to help. My dh had perfect sperm but we both also saw a chiropracter almost every week for about 6-8 months. i believe this is what made me ovulate as I also started to have regular periods again. i hadnt done either in a long time. we had been offf contraception for 4/5 years and never fallen preg. we were officially ttc since our sept 06 wedding.
Avatar f tn I have pcos and I'm trying to conceive, I have been taking metformin but currently stopped. I ran out. I hope to start up again within a week. After taking it for a month I finally got a period. No spotting for days before or after. It was perfect. My breast even got sore! I am using this as a place for woman trying to conceive with pcos and help each other out, give advice or tell their story. Any one is welcome!
3138665 tn?1342790842 I've conceived twice by eating healthy and losing weight and improving my depression etc good luck Hon x
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.
415687 tn?1228746275 i have been ttc for over 2 years with PCOS and i just found out i was pregnant!!!! there is hope! for me metformin and clomid 150 mg produced great follicles and ovulation was triggered by ovidrel. i did 6 cycles of that with only 1 pregnancy that sadly ended in miscarriage. my first cycle of gonal f injections and ovidrel trigger with iui was not successful. and then finally--- this cycle i did injections of gonal f for 9 days and then triggered with ovidrel and had iui on cd17.
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!
1150573 tn?1261964987 They can give you drugs to induce your cycle. I haven't had this personally, but I know it's not uncommon. I would most definately talk to your Dr. Good luck!! BTW, I think egg donor is a wonderful option. If it were more readily available in Canada, it is something I would be considering as well. There are several success stories here from donor eggs.
Avatar f tn Hello! So, I basically have the same experience as your friend. I am not surprised none of the doctors have mentioned vitamins or natural supplements... A lot of doctors, surprisingly, aren't too familiar with the condition. Is your friend also on metformin? Some people have been able to regulate their cycles by taking metformin. In terms of a natural supplement, I have tried "Vitex",chaste berry- a "natural supplement" after reading great reviews.
