VITEX IS KNOWN AS THE "WOMENS HERB"
The biggest question I have been getting the past couple weeks is "Why Vitex?"
I bought it 5 months ago so the information wasn't fresh on my brain so I had to give myself a minute to re-research (haha) I initially found out about vitex from a midwife protocol I saw online. I know what you are thinking...If I have a normal cycle, can I take it? Im no doctor so I am not going to tell you yes or no with any product but I will note that I had normal cycles (every 28-30 days) I was taking it for about 2 weeks and got my positive 14 days later. I started taking it around ovulation because that was after my move and was finally getting settled. I stoped vitex the minute I got my positive.
"Why Vitex?" ...
Vitex promotes healthy hormones, regular ovulation and healthy ovaries. In conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, Vitex is helpful in restoring ovulation and regulating progesterone levels, progesterone is HUGE with getting pregnant if you don't already know.
From a quick google search I also learned Vitex is used by midwives and herbalists to prevent miscarriage associated with low progesterone - Im going to say this was probably the biggest selling point for me along with it promoting healthy ovaries! I'll never know if my progesterone was low the first pregnancy because they never tested for it. So I was extra cautious about making sure progesterone was good and finding natural ways to help.
Hi, many others said when they came off vitex after their bfp it ended in a miscarriage because of the drop in progesterone. Do you have any advice?
