Vitex a.k.a. chasteberry is an herb. It can come in pill, tea, or tincture form. It is readily available in natural food stores and online. It is very safe and helps promote a healthy reproduction system by acting on the pituitary gland (which somehow is in "charge" of estrogen and progesterone, etc).
I took it while I was ttc #1. I was having no luck conceiving after 8 months and had long cycles (32-42 days) and very painful cramps. I read that vitex should help. I took it for 2 weeks and then had a bit of spotting. Two weeks later, I had my period, but is was very light and not very painful. Two weeks later, I became pregnant. So, I do believe that the vitex helped even out my hormones some and I was finally able to get pg. I have read that it helps with menopause, too.
