Taking Agnus Castus only after ovulation? Lengthen luteal phase

[Sparklythings1]

Has anyone had any joy with lengthening their luteal phase with Agnus castus? From the research I’ve done I think I’ve decided I’m only going to take it after I’ve ovulated so it doesn’t mess about with ovulation as some people say it can affect their whole cycle. I’m taking vitamin C and ashwagandha to try to reduce my stress levels too. Had two months of only 7/8 days between ovulation and period

I'm taking it, my luteal phase is 13 days anyway. There is little scientific prove it messes with ovulation. It is actually used to increase fertility.

@BritishDesiGirl thanks for replying, it’s so hard to know what to believe when you watch YouTube videos about it as well as on here and google. I might try it after ovulation this cycle since the cycle has already started then just use it all the time after that if I have no success this month. Thanks

What’s your follicular phase like? Do you get plenty of fertile cm? I ask because I sometimes found my follicular phase was on the short side, and in those months I often got more premenstrual spotting and less fertile cm. When I took agnus castus from the start of the cycle my follicular phase lengthened and I got buckets of fertile cm for days pre ovulation. I also got pregnant. If your follicular phase is normal and consistent and you have good cm pre ovulation but your luteal phase is short then yes, trying AC only from ovulation may be your best bet. A lot of people on here also swear by high dose vitamin B complexes for short literal phase. Good luck!
