Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie
Have you heard anything about Vitex (Agnus Castus)Im thinking of giving it a go, I hear alot of women get pregnant whilst on it..
Any comments archie replied. Dear Angel,
If your blood reports say you have high prolactin levels then likely Chasteberry extract will help subside the same and let you get better ovulate in synchrony.
Prolactin, that's a natural hormone while breastfeeding mothers results in irregular cycles by suppressing ovulation. Therefore breastfeeding in itself can work as a birth contraceptive (BCP) to some extent, although not exactly a standard BCP.

In some women the prolactin levels are naturally high even without being a breastfeeding mother or ever got pregnant.

The point I am making is this, if you already know that your Prolactin levels are on higher side then this treatment would make wonder.

If your prolactin levels are in limits then this is going to be just a trial and I would be happy to know that still this treatment helped boosting your ovulation in synchrony and you got pregnant.

chances are 50-50 with normal prolactin while chances can be highter with high prolactin levels and Chasteberry treatment.
