Oldie,

The test results are puzzling, we would think that vitex should increase progesterone and lower prolactin. However, the volatile oils (fatty acids) in vitex could be the could be the cause of the acne too. Look everybody reacts differently as we know, and in your case it's quite possible that vitex is also keeping E2 lower while elevating PRL......

I'd get off vitex asap. In fact I'd also suggest stopping " all " herbs for at least one cycle, give your body a chance to normalize and Test again, that's my advice FWIW.

Hey Lotus, thank's for your input and knowledge as always. Do you think that?! But actually vitex is the only herb or supplement that has ever gave me any results. (PC has given me some too). My best cycle, considering boob plumpness, was on vitex (only during follicular), peony and massage massage massage. I'm on vitex now during follicular and I'm starting to gain plumpness again.

When I've made those blood tests, as well as the others, I was "clean" of herbs, supplements and any medication (for at least 2 cycles). And comparing to my last and first test, my prolactin has decreased a bit since then and my progesterone has increased too. If I'm doing the math right my P:E ratio was 12 last year, and right now is 52. Some people say the range to P:E ratio should be between 20 and 170, and some say it should be no less than 600.
