It didn't help with that, but it did clear up the acne I would get during certain phases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-a-bad-experience-on-vitex#post-2142848 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 00:34:42 +0000 Zbug 2142848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-a-bad-experience-on-vitex#post-2142791 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:44:43 +0000 auggiefrog 2142791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: I have stopped taking it during O each cycle I was TTC. I think I took it my whole cycle for a month or two that we were 'resting', but I didn't notice any changes in my cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-a-bad-experience-on-vitex#post-2142771 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:23:08 +0000 Mrs. J 2142771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am convinced it's what helped me get pregnant both times, but I waited until I was almost done breastfeeding as well.

It's a common herb to take when breastfeeding. It can lower supply though, but I wasn't concerned since LO is 28 mo. </p> <p>@CocoLoco523: sorry it didn't work for you either! I had my hopes up!</p> <p>@auggiefrog: do you take b6 all cycle or after ovulation? I was taking it last cycle, but I didn't ovulate until cd25. I read that it can delay or prevent O, so I stopped taking it. I think I will try waiting until O this cycle.<br /> @ms.line: sorry it didn't work for you either. Did you try anything else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-a-bad-experience-on-vitex#post-2142582 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 17:45:59 +0000 ms.line 2142582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took vitex and B6 hoping to lengthen my LP, but it didn't make any difference for me.

It caused me to have breakthrough bleeding, almost equivalent to a 2nd period. It happened 2 months in a row and I was done! Around CD 10 each time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-a-bad-experience-on-vitex#post-2142472 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 16:26:41 +0000 travellingbee 2142472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no adverse affects from chaste tree (vitex) but I'm not sure I would take it while nursing? I'd ask a doctor... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-a-bad-experience-on-vitex#post-2142437 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 16:02:09 +0000 Zbug 2142437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still breastfeeding and started taking vitex to lengthen my 9 day luteal phase (LP was normal before LO). It didn't change my LP the first two months and actually shortened it to 8 days this month :(. I was actually nauseous during my LP and period this month, which I read can be a hormone imbalance. I just stopped taking it, and I guess I'm going to try b6 after ovulation this month.<br /> Did this happen to anyone else? </p>
