Herbs / Supplements to kick-start my cycle?  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I am waiting (not so patiently) for AF to return so we can TTC. My LO is 15 months old and only nurses 3-4 times a day.
Here is my stupid chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/158913 It just has a random start date since I haven't had AF. As you can see my body keeps trying to ovulate, but then giving up again - so frustrating!:
I would really appreciate any suggestions of what I might take to try and help my poor ovaries along! I'm slightly wary of Vitex as my cycles were always relatively regular before.
I am not taking anything other than regular prenatals just now. Thanks ladies!

Sorry, I don't have advice, just wanted to say that I am in the same boat, and was wondering the same thing --- how to get my cycle back so that we can conceive again.

What's really strange for me is that AF returned when my first child was 6 months old, and she was nursing exclusively + all the time, etc. My second child is now 10 months old, and I nurse her the same amount, and AF has not returned. Doesn't that seem strange?

I have started taking Vitex, only for 1 week, but nothing's happened so far.

Vitex takes 2-3 months to work so it will take a while before you notice anything.




To the OP, no other suggestions, I've taken vitex myself for that reason.
