adding vitex?

i think michelle mentioned she was adding vitex to her bo routine... im curious to see if it works. they are talking on the main forum that the other herbs might counteract with the vitex, but really bo doesnt add or take away, it just increases the growth hormone... so maybe it would be good to do vitex and bo and cut out everything else (including saw palmetto)? at least anything else that is herbal... im sure oils and such would still be fine...
thoughts?
im about to put in an order because i am finally starting to run low on saw palmetto and i was going to order nettle root but i am thinking of vitex instead...
any help here, my bo boobie buddies?

If I were you I would check out the main forum for NBE because there is a lot of new posts on Vitex and the benifits of taking it for NBE. It can even be taken alone to gain breast size. If you have been trying BO alone with no results for a while, then it couldn't hurt to add vitex just to see if it pumps up the results. If you still don't get results after a month or two of adding the vitex, then you probably have a hormonal imbalance and you can experiment with adding an estrogen herb to your routine or a progesterone herb to your routine, depending on which you may be deficient in.
I am trying maca, which is not a phyto-estrogen herb. Instead it is an herb that stimulates all of the organs in the body that are responsible for producing hormones (such as pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ect.). By stimulating these organs, it causes them to produce their own hormones and it helps to balance estrogen, progesterone, and androgens in a woman's body.
I will let you know if it helps me out because I will soon be adding BO to my breast enhancment routine, but I just wanted to resolve some health issues first.
What happened to all the people who are using BO for NBE anyways? They seem to have disapeared!
Maybe they are taking a break from the holidays...

I was also wondering about vitex, and hoping you would get more responses Emmie. Guess if we wait, they will come.

Hi Emmie!
Vitex has really helped me with my pms systoms and my over all mood since I started taking it in Sept. I believe it also helped give me a boost initially since my hormones did need balancing. I'm still taking vitex now. I believe Vitex and Maca both balance the hormones. Vitex is more of a libido suppressor, hence it's also called chasteberry. Maca is a libido enhancer for both female and male as well. I don't know how much it will help you Emmie if you do not have pms, irregular periods(I don't think you're having any right now if I recall correctly from your past posts), menopause symptoms, or infertility. I think it's also good for acne. I don't think it interferes with bo. Vitex is known to be good for NBE. It's not a fast cure for pms and other hormone related issues but is does work after about 3 months so so. Just curious, what is your body type? My is pear shape/spoon. I tend to gain weight on the hips, thighs, first then stomach, arms and breasts last. If you are thinking or trying something else besides SP, wild yam is good for pear shapes too. As well as Vitex. Here are some links to check out with info regarding vitex:

Good luck and keep up posted.
Aloha and happy boobie growing

hey kat... i follow the main board religiously... i only posted on this board for this because it is bo specific and so these are the bo boobie buddies, after all... the main board does more of the herb focus... are you on a bo routine? glad to have you around then... another experimenter with us!
thanks, wonderbride! i will figure it out after the new year... i am leaving for the weekend and havent packed yet... very typical of me. whatever is laying around gets thrown in the bag and taken with!
i am on depo, so i dont think i am really supposed to do wild yam... i remember reading something about that ages ago. i was thinking of vitex just because i dont know about the saw palmetto and since i am running out anyway it was either going to be nettle or vitex.
i am pretty slim and gain weight right at the love handles whenever i gain weight! i hate it... but i dont really get it anywhere else, so i cant complain too much, i suppose...
i will look into it more... sissy if you see something about it, let us know!!
happy new year!!

Yeah, I am going to try only the BO method first for breast enhancment and then if that doesn't work I will try the herbs. I also tend to gain weight around my stomach first and that creastes love handles on me as well. The thing is, is that I am slim everywhere else and people tells me I need to gain weight all the time, but sometimes I just want to show them my stomach because that is the only place my fat wants to go! But people cannot see that as well unless you are wearing very fitted clothes. But I have been reading that women who tend to gain weight more around their stomach have excess testosterone or androgens in their body, so that may be our problem.
