Long/irregular cycles and agnus cactus

Hi all, I've been trying for 2 months for baby number 2. I know its such a short time really but it happened straight away for me with baby number 1! Anyway my cycles have always been on the long side (average 34 days) my cycles since august have gone 40 days, 31, 32, 41 and currently on cd30. when i have had the really long ones when AF came it was so light and TMI but the blood was so pale a really light pink. im wondering if i ovulate at all (never used opks).
I have read a bit about agnus cactus helping to regulate cycles, does anyone have any experience with this and if so how do you take it, every day?

Sorry for the long post, really hope someone can help x

Hello! I'm TTC #2 as well and DS was a lovely surprise so I'm very new to TTC. We've been TTC for 11 months now (so far no luck sadly), but the first 8 months of that I was breastfeeding so I don't think I was actually ovulating - TMI my period was so light and just different and only lasted for 24-36hours max. And my period was all over the place. One point the cycle length was 40/50days. And then I decided to try Vitex/Agnus Cactus - bought it from Amazon. I think I took it at the beginning of a new cycle. And that month my period came after 30days. And then it started to regulate. I don't know if it was because I took Vitex or the fact that I only BF few times a day that month. Oh and I took 3 capsules a day as the packet says really. Hope this helps and fingers crossed that you will get that lovely BFP soon! x

I have been taking it for two cycles. I just take it up until the point I ovulate, and then stop. All being well, I think I'm pregnant. Whether it's that or not, who knows.
