I took 400 mg vitex last night and woke up with fewer tingles than usual, so I’m dropping it from my diet. Seems like bad news. 

There is significantly more progestin than estrogen in the combined pill- the estrogen dose is given in micrograms, not milligrams, and the estrogen is mostly there to protect the bone and keep periods stable.

Vitex has a tiny progesterone effect and could take months to notice anything.  It’s probably a coincidence.

High for estrogen and high for progestin is not the same mcg/mg.  It can be different for two different types of progestin too.  Which BC are you on?

That said the progestin vs estrogen in combo BC can be confusing.  After reading about several I’m still trying to figure out which one is stronger in the breasts and also whether it varies from pill to pill.
