Q: I have been hearing a lot about vitex and how it can help regulate a period and increase your fertility chances.
I am 37, never been pregnant, had a normal period up until about 10 years ago, now I'm lucky if my period comes 3 times a year.
Had all the hormone tests - estrogen is slightly low but we have to be careful how we treat this as there is a history of breast cancer in my family (my sister died from it). I do not have endometriosis, I do not have cysts, I do not have blockage of any kind, everything is there.
Back to my question...vitex. Has anyone used this and had any success - either with normal periods or pregnancy? I read that this is a natural HRT and not the chemical HRT which is what interests me. And it is progesteron that is the base.
Anyone?

A: i took vitex a few years back and noticed that within a few months my periods were coming regularly. although i was not testing to see if i was ovulating, at least my periods were there. it's worth a shot. not many people are allergic to it and if anything it helps your body produce other hormones naturally.
