Right, I've turned to herbs out of desperation!

Am a bit sceptical but apparently they help to regulate your periods and since mine are all over the shop I thought it might help.

Anyone got experience of these? I see they have come up occasionally on previous threads but wanted a more detailed insight iyswim.

Oh, I am so relieved - thought you were asking opinions on baby names, and was musing on a polite way of dissuading you from going for any of the above..

I did see a little girl aged about 3 called Tarragon in a shopping centre yesterday...

Sorry OP, have never heard of these herbs or what they do!

Little, thanks for making me smile! I guess in the scheme of things "Maca" wouldn't be as bad as Agnus Castus, which sounds a bit like Agnes gone wrong!

There's a "Sage" in my extended family :)

Halfwit that is very funny! Imagine the raised eyebrows when announcing 'here's agnus castus' haha!

Hi maghribia.. glad they aren't name choices Wink
I've been using agnus castus for about 4 or 5 months now, it has worked wonders for me! Before using it my cycles were quite irregular, anywhere inbetween 34-48 days from what I remember. Now with AC they have gradually gotten down to 29 days! And I even ovulated last month like a normal person on about cd15 compared to cd21/22 previously! I get them from holland&barrat, they do 400mg capsules, and you take 4 a day.
I also started taking evening primrose oil capsules at the same time I started AC so it may be that helping aswell, they help with fertile CM aswell I think, they definitely have with mine!
Hope that helps! X
