Vitex Answers
If Vitex makes you ovulate and regulate your periods, then why to take Clomid?
Q. I am taking Clomid from the last 5 months cuz I have PCOS. But now I was thinking why not to take Vitex to regulate my period and at the same time ovulate. Plz help me. Thanks.
Asked by Purplish - Sun May 17 00:16:59 2009 - Trying to Conceive - 2 Answers - Comments
A. I think the reason that you were prescribed clomid instead of vitex is because vitex is not approved by the FDA.

Can I take primrose oil and vitex at the same time?
Q. My menstrual is very irregular. Sometimes it can be only once a year and now I'm thinking of having a baby. As I know primrose oil and vitex will help with hormon balance. Is there anyone can help me out? Can I take primrose oil and Vitex together? Will it hurt? Or is there any other suggestion?

A. ive taken vitex but no primrose oil but maybe u should start with the vitex and add primrose if you get no results because if you mix them and you have a reaction of some sot you wont know what caused it and prob will have 2 stop both. Vitex did help me ovulate but i stopped because i wanted to go all natural so its your choice

Will a laparoscopy and vitex increase pregnancy chances?
Q. I had a laparoscopy on oct 25 and just got my period back. I just started vitex...does this increase fertility chances. We have been trying for a while with no luck.
Asked by - Mon Nov 29 14:13:31 2010 - Trying to Conceive - 1 Answers - Comments
A. As far as vitex, it will increase your chance of fertility, which will then increase your chances of pregnancy. As far as the laparoscopy, I put a link below that will have your answers to that. Dong Quai is a supplement that is also known to boost fertility. Make sure you're taking that Folic Acid, cuz that'll help it too!

What is soluble starch and what is vitex starch?
Q. I know soluble means it dissolves in water but what is it? Would liquid starch fit into that category meaning like laundry starch? Because I'm doing the Briggs-Rauscher oscillating color change reaction and it calls for soluble starch or vitex starch...what is the differnce between the two, is it the same as laundry starch, and if not where can I get one of the 2?

A. In chemistry, I have regularly used soluble starch to make an indicator solution for identifying the presence of iodine. A little starch powder is made into a paste with cold water. Boiling water is then added and the whole mixture boiled for one minute. The resulting solution is the starch solution used as an indicator. It is a milky white almost opalescent colour and only keeps for about a day, so needs to be freshly made to guarantee reliable results. The powder would need to be purchased from a supplier of chemicals, unless a laboratory would be willing to let you have a small quantity.

I have read you usually don't see results until 3-6 months and you should only take it from AF to your OV date each cycle since it's not good to take during pregnancy. So far the only change I have notice is my CM ( seems to be alot more watery than usual with everyday that passes) so I hope that's a good sign the pills are working.

A. Actually, neither of these help you conceive. Vitex - this does nothing. if you have hormonal imbalance/disorder (e.g. PCOS), get it properly diagnosed and get the drug metformin. Baby aspirin - This is good to prevent miscarriage risk in the first trimester (due to clotting around the placenta). It doesn't necessarily help with implantation or anything else unless you have a clotting disorder (in which case, get it diagnosed). B6 - this can theoretically increase your luteal phase, so only applicable if you have a short luteal cycle (luteal phase defect). Again, better to have this diagnosed and get the proper meds (progesterone) if you really have this defect. With respect to fertility, you can take any multi-vitamin just to ensure that… [cont.]

I also used Evening Primrose Oil 2500mg until ovulation and then after ovulation used Vit B6 300mg to lengthen my luteal phase. All of it seemed to do the trick because I became pregnant with my 3rd baby that month.

Should I stop taking metformin if I want to use vitex?
Q. My doc put me on metformin cause I have pcos. I am supposed to use it everyday. I now want to use the vitex though cause the clomid did not work. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you do? Also does vitex actually work? And how long would i have to use it?

A. Hey I have PCOS at the moment I am taking Vitex and been on for it 2 weeks and so far had no signs of it working! However, I have read it varies for everyone that tries it and I have read mixed reviews on the the internet neither staying strongly for or against it. I have found from reports that Metformin will be more successful. I am waiting to go to the hospital in March so not sure what they will recommend. I would say speak to your doctor before you stop taking it. Good luck!!
