Question
Hi, My menstrual cycle was very irregular, my cycles lasted 40 to 50 days, I'm not sure if I was even ovulating, and I had really bad pms symptoms. So I started taking vitex everyday, charting my temps and taking natural progestrone cream with usp progestrone after ovulation. This has helped me greatly, I'm now ovulating and my pms symptoms are almost completly gone. My only concern is my luteal phase has gone from 14 days to 10, and my period is pretty light. I started taking b-6 to make my luteal phase longer, but I just started that this month so I'm not sure the results of that. Do you think I should stop taking vitex or is there anything else you recommend? Just curious, thank you, Jesse
I would do evening primrose oil.
I would also look at doing a product I use called Menstrual Reg.
I would wonder if the hypothalums or pituitary is needing nurishment as well.
I would need to see blood work to know for sure.

I would continue what you are doing as it seems to be helping.
