Hi

Thanks for all the info and advice, I didn't have a clue where to start.

I was thinking of taking PM day 1-14 of my cycle and taking vitex throughout.

My doctor said I also had high blood sugar so I think I'll try and get that down and do a cleanse with milk thistle before I start.

PM is a strong phytoestrogen. >= 250 mg vitex lowers prolactin, while 40-125 mg vitex raises prolactin. Raising prolactin might raise progesterone but your prolactin is already high so who knows. It also has a small effect. Progesterone cream on the 2nd half of your cycle would be a stronger way to counterbalance the PM, or you could take less PM, or take something weaker than PM. OTOH it might take time to go out of balance even if you only take PM, since you have a good starting point.

Saponins such as fenugreek extract are excellent at lowering blood sugar, since besides increasing everything else they also increase sensitivity to insulin.
