Agnus Castus - how much and when to take?

[onedaybaby]

Hi,

I have read that Agnus Castus is very good at increasing the luteal phase (mine is 7 days).

I have brought some which are "High Strength - 60mg".

However, I can't seem to find a straight answer on how much to take and when to take it e.g. whole cycle, part cycle.

The bottle says 1 -2 tablets a day.

I feel a bit silly rushing out to buy it when I actually don't know what to do with it!!

Although it says 60mg, it says in the extract of 5:1 is equivalent to 300mg ??? !!

Bumping for you as I'd like to know the answer to this one...my luteal phase has been 7-8 days since a mc last July, and although acupuncture has managed to get it up to 11/12 on one or two occasions, it's still not consistent

It took me over two years to get pg last time so I'm willing to try anything that might sort things out a bit!

If you want to take this I would actually seek out the advice of a properly qualified medical herbalist beforehand. AC can in some cases make things worse so you should never self medicate with it.

vit b6 can help luteal defects take between 50-100mg

i took a table spoon per day (320mg) of AG high strengh tincture for about 9 months. 7 months pregnant now. it works, however, takes a really long time, so be patient. good luck!

p.s. i took it every day. you must be consistent as with any other form of homeopathy...

Hi. I took Agnus castus after coming off the pill and had no AF for 3 months. I tried it and 3 weeks later had noticed loads of CM which i wasnt getting before and then 3 weeks after that had my first AF in over a year (including being on the pill). I can only vouch for myself but it defo worked for me. BTW i took 2 a day, 1000mg(one thousand)strength.

I also read up on it lots and lots, looked at forums of users and was very clued up on it before taking it. I wasnt TTC also so was able to take it all through my then non existant cycle.
