with all the recent discussion of vitex, i decided to order some to help with my pms. well, it arrived today and i'm wondering whether or not i should lower my dosage of wu... what do you guys think?

Hi wishful

Have just read your programme. I started on WU at the beginning of August too and can relate to your wonderupping and wonderdowning. Same thing was happening to me too.

Did you do another programme before starting WU? Just wondering. I had done 5 months of mirifem prior to WU and felt that my body had built up too much phytoestrogen and blocked my receptors.

I added vitex after a couple of months into WU and took a growth spurt, but like I already explained in an earlier post, I felt as if WU was holding me back from growing, so I cut the dose down to 2 pills a day........then I cut it out completely to see what would happen PLUS to give my body a break from it. Have just restarted 2 WU pills each day to see if having the break has made a difference. I broke from it for about 10 days in total but now feel that things are more positive now. Lol.......this is still an experiment.

Ok, you've taken WU since August and have been yo-yoing but you are seeing a difference each month. I would suggest that you cut down to 2 WU per day like I did and take 1600mg vitex a day. Take a pic then give it a month and take another pic to compare. If you are growing, then keep things as they are. If there is no growth, then you could take a break from WU for say 10 days. Drink lots of cleansing teas during that time and plenty of water.

If you aren't already doing, then try to add some zinc and a good vit C as this aids absoption of the herbs. Also take some good oils in such as flaxseed or borage......AND vit E. You can take vit E internally and also break a capsule open and add it to your batter. Lol, you can even rub it on your face, it is great for the skin!!!!

Fingers X'd........you are gonna start growing big soon!!

Love

thanks for all the advice :) in answer to your question, i did not do any program prior to the one i'm on now. i think i'll start to add the vitex and reduce the wu slowly. think i'll start off with 800 mg of vitex and 4 wu a day, then maybe change to two wu and 1600 mg of vitex later on. i'll see how it goes.
