3/14/2023 0 Comments Vitex and pcos success storyI know this post is from last year but I was just reading and wanted to make a comment:) I've had irregular periods my entire life! I will go 3-6 months without a period and then have one that lasts for 2 months(horrible I know):( So anyway. I would love to here your story if you have pcos and used vitex and are ttc good or bad I wish everyone luck !!!!! :-) I am planning on starting a blog for my progress once i get that up and running I will post the link here for all those interrested. ![]() I have been to many doctors that have given me a death sentence on conceving because of the severity of my pcos, but I am not willing to give up just yet :-) I have heard nothing but wonderful things about vitex soooo I done a lot of research on it and I have now been taking it for 3 days!! I hope to loss some weight, and regulate all these crazy hormones, and conceive my first child!!!!! I wanted to say thank you to everyone that posted information on vitex and how it has or hasnt helped them. I have been through 3 surgeries countless fertility treatments with nothing but heartache. my husband and I have been ttc for 8 long years. I have hair on my face that I joke and say my "man bread" and that I am in a race with my husband to see who can grow it quicker, but the truth is I am not soposed to have a bread and it SUCKS !!! I have high levels of estrogen, prolactin,testostrone, and low progestrone as with anyone people with pcos just I want some relief and some hope that things will and can get better. I played sports my whole life through out high school and college, and I now have had a personal trainer, a dietician, several specialists for 3 years I have lost 5lbs !!!!!! I wish that eating right and exercise would work for me but the fact is that everyone is different and although they arent sure about the main cause of pcos the line is divided some belive that it is weight induced, and the other side belives it is gentic!!!! There are plenty of people with pcos that arent heavy and the fact that my sister and I both have it and she hasnt gained weight leaves me to belive that it is more gentic again thats my opinion and you are of course intitled to yours :-) I dont like it when people automaticly say its a 'fat' condition caused by people who dont exercise and eat right because thats def not the case with my sister and myself. At the start of my condition I weighed 120lbs and at being diagnosed I weighed 190lbs, and now I weigh 241 lbs. I mean is there ever a quick fix to any health problem ? I have had pcos for 14 years, and it like any other health problem got worse over the years left untreated. By the way Vitex is also very good for PMS and depression/mood swings, my teenage daughter had a problem nd lots of cne, so I gave it to her too. I'm going to try Saw Palmetto next and Vitex together as my excessive body hair is not going away. I've lost my excess weight - last year and have been keeping it off without any major lifestyle changes. Vitex Agnus Cactus - I've taken 2 different kinds, the first one didn't do anything - important to research where you get it from! I took the second one for 3 months. I got my period back after the first 3 weeks treatment - proper ones not just the brown discharge! My period has been regular since, although weak at times. ![]() ![]() Traditional Chinese Medicine - I got herbal remedies and had acupuncture for 8 weeks once every week. The doctor told me there is nothing she can do to help, so I researched and did the following: 1. The doctor gave me the pill to regulate my period, i took it for 3 months and everything got worse so I stopped. ![]() No period for 6 months, lots of pin, I've gained a lot of weight and couldn't lose it, excessive hair growth everywhere, lots of acne etc. I've been diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago, Ive pushed the doctor as my symptoms got very bad.
