Hey Lotus!! 

Thanks for all this great info and sharing with us all! I know this takes such hard work, and you're so generous in how you help us!! 


I have a question about Vitex! I originally was planning on taking Vitex during follicular because I researched and found out that Vitex raises LH and also encourages ovulation. I also found a few sites that encouraged taking Vitex during follicular phase for this specific reason, and also because it takes time for it to raise P levels, so the idea is if you take it during follicular, by the time Luteal rolls around it will help P levels to dominate without even taking it during that phase. Does any of that makes sense to you lol?? I can explain it better if it doesn't.

But I would like to know what your thoughts are on all of this? Knowing that it encourages ovulation and healthy ovulations are what help to produce raised levels of progesterone, wouldn't you agree that it might be more beneficial to either take Vitex during follicular, or take it month long?? 

Xoxo

Good question, ZaraAri. I would like to know the answer to this too!  I have a slight progesterone deficiency and have started using a small amount of vitex only during luteal, but is this the best way to increase luteal progesterone effectively at the appropriate time?? 

Also, Lotus, my FSH surge is slightly low according to my last hormone test. Is taking any form or amount of vitex a bad idea in this case? I've read that vitex lowers FSH significantly.
