questions about agnus castus

When should I take agnus castus? My cycle seems to have returned to normal quickly but I am worried I might not be ovulating. Will agnus castus help me to ovulate?
God TTC is so difficult, it feels like a lottery that is the most important lottery of my life!!
I am also taking evening primrose oil and starflower oil to help with PMS which got me really bad on my last 2 cycles!
Thanks ladies xxx

I posted about this the other day. Apparently you can only take it up to ov as it's not good for pregnancy so cd1-ov. Probably best to test for ov hun!

as far as im aware chick it wont help you to ov,try googling it,its mostly known for shortening cycle lengths than anything else x x

What makes you worry about not OVing? I worried too but tried temping (which is hard work but reassuring) and realised that I was. Might be worth a try for a couple of months to check? Good luck

Agnus castus probably won't help you ovulate, it's more for regulating irregular cycles than anything else. Have you tried OPK sticks to see if you're ovulating?

I used OPK sticks this cycle but never got what I thought was a definite positive. I felt different for a couple of days, EWCM (I think!), bloated and a bit of pain down there but not sure cos when I used the sticks they only had a faint line for 2 days then nothing for the other days.
I have PCOS and have read that OPK sticks can get it wrong because of hormone levels so I just don't know!

So maybe I will try temping instead!
Thanks xx

Yes AC can make you ovulate! I suffer from oestrogen dominance so i'v not ovulated without help for years, however over the last 3 months i'v had ovulation due to AC.. Keep going with it, it's worth it xx
