I was toying with the idea of creating this thread until I really knew for sure and I’ve got a few threads up so didn’t want you lovelies to be sick of seeing my name 😉 but I decided to go ahead anyway.
When I started trying to conceive properly I.E tracking, temping etc (been trying for 6 years roughly but only this month with real heart) I searched through many posts and Internet forums and Agnus Castus kept creeping up on ttc threads.
I wanted to try it as I’ve seen a lot of success with it and many referring to it as natures Clomid but was wary because so many people also advised against it. Anyway I spoke with my DR and decided to go ahead and try it and my DR had said she had heard of it and has seen it be successful so to go ahead but be cautious. I started using it this month.
Last month and the month before I had very low progesterone (0.8) and it seemed I wasn’t ovulating, I also had a cycle of 41 days. This month my bloods came back with a progesterone level of 14.5!! My DR said the borderline was 15 and that’s the closest I’ve been in a while and I definitely ovulated this month as I tracked and had the ovulation pains. My cycle also seems to be shorter this month.
I was so pleased about the results and I definitely think it was Agnus Castus and it’s given me hope going forward. I just wanted to let people know. I wouldn’t recommend if you have regular cycles or no need to balance hormones and of course get advice from a gp or herbalist first. But I am happy with the way it’s worked for me and just wanted to share in case anyone else is in the same boat.
