Something natural to bring on AF

[Hopefulmama]

I have never gotten AF back post-partum. I have not had a period since June of 2007(before I got pregnant). I weaned my son a few weeks ago and still no AF. For the past few months I feel like I have constant PMS, cramps, etc. I would love to do/take something to bring it on and get it over with. My OBGYN will prescribe some sort of hormone that will bring it within a few days. I really don't want to go that route. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

vitex is supposed to be good for amenorrhea.

Dong quai for sure. I was in the same boat as you. You can take dong quai by itself or in conjunction with other herbs that will promote a period. Dong quai is especially good because it promotes bleeding but be sure that once you start your cycle to stop dong quai because it is so good at promoting bleeding. It's hard to say what other herbs you could take without knowing what hormones are low or high, etc. My estrogen and progesterone was low so I took a tincture of dong quai, actea, and medicago I had a period in exactly 6 days of starting the tincture. Hadn't had a period since before getting prego with DD(19 months). So I take this tincture week1 and 2 then week 3 and 4 I take a tincture of Wild yam, vitex and dandelion wh. (for progesterone).

Let me know If that helps.
