So I'm trying to figure out if Vitex could help me out with shortening my cycles and moving up my ovulation date. Here's my relevant info:

- Off birth control since last April
- Charting since May
- Used charting to avoid pregnancy May through July, started trying to conceive in August

- April through May: normal, 30 day cycles
- August: delayed ovulation, 39 days
- September: normal cycle, conceived, lost in October
- November/December: NTNP, delayed O due to loss, 46 day cycle
- December/January: delayed ovulation, 44 days cycle

ETA:
- I have bad acne related to my cycle.
- I had "several small follicular cysts" on my ovaries during my ultrasound during my miscarriage.
- Spotting is not an issue
- I have a 12 day LP (I think) and I have VERY light periods that only last 3 days.

I'm just getting frustrated because in the last six to seven months, I've only had four cycles, three of which were irregular with very late ovulation, on like day 25 through 31. I realize that some of this is just my body healing after miscarriage but I think it might need some help to get back on track, and what I read about vitex makes me very interested. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there on the boards about personal experiences with it.

Three questions:
1) Based on what I described above, do you think I should try vitex?
2) If you took vitex, what was your personal experience like?
3) Did you take it after ovulation, or throughout your entire cycle? I've read some things about it delaying O??
