I've finally ovulated! 😊
This product is amazing. As soon as I received my shipment, I started taking one 650mg capsule in the morning, and one at night during the middle of my first cycle of the year to help stabilize my wonky cycles overall. I had mild headaches for a bit but I figured they were hormonal as this is a supplement that helps stabilize hormones, so I hung tight and continued to take it and the headaches stopped after about a week.
Before Vitex, my Dr put me on a 10 day round of Provera (10mg). About 2 weeks later, my period came and my cycle went back to the normal 28 days and lasted 7 days (after not having a period for nearly 4 months), however, I still just wasn't ovulating.
I did a countless amount of ovulation strips and still, nothing happened. So I decided to take the holistic route as a last resort before seeking counsel with a fertility specialist.
This month (2nd cycle), I thought nothing would happen because my strips were still showing up negative around the time I was supposed to be ovulating (around the 11th of this month).
Well, to my surprise, 3 days later than what was predicted per an App I use to track my cycles, I finally tested positive for ovulation on cycle day 22!
I kept my strips from last month to compare my results for this month. They started out the same and all at once, it just came out positive out of nowhere!
Hopefully I can update with even more good news about this product. It seems to be working so far. My hubby and I have baby hopes, so if we end up having a BFP (fingers crossed), I'll definitely continue to post on our success.
I only have one fallopian tube and I have PCOS. It's just good to see that I CAN ovulate after all.
Also, if this helps, I changed my diet to a low GI ( glycemic index) diet to help lower my sugar intake as soon as I started taking this product. I figured the diet change would help a lot and I definitely feel the difference.
