Just thought I would share some initial success I had recently on Vitex and Acupuncture. I went off BC in September 2007. I didn't get a period until the end of December 2007. My doctor said to come back and get progesterone if things didn't improve. I did not want to go that route because it is chemicals that got me into this problem in the first place. In the beginning of Feb I still did not get another period so I started taking Vitex. (120 drops a day). At the end of Feb I still had no period so I decided to see an acupuncturist that specializes in fertility. I started acupuncture that day and was put on an herbal remedy. I continued to take the Vitex as well. Five treatments later I finally got a positive ovulation predictor test. I feel confident that things are heading in the right direction. I will continue with the Vitex, herbs, and acupuncture to regulate my cycle and hopefully I'll get pregnant along the way. I believe it may be a combination of all three treatments although acupuncture and the herbs may have kick started my cycle since I have only been on the Vitex for about 7 weeks. I'm so glad I did not start on a vicious cycle of progesterone and Clomid.
