Agnus Castus
I'm just wondering whether any of you have taken or are taking this? Did it help to regulate your cycles?
Do you know of anything else that moght help do the same thing?

Have you tried taking Vitamin B and evening primrose oil too? Both are meant to be essential in maintaing womens health and cycles. Ive not ever heard or tried Ahnus Castus im afraid.
All the best xx
I was taking 50mg of b6 (the max you can take without it causing problems is 100mg a day) and was taking 1500mg of evening primrose a day (one capsule 3 times a day at mealtimes) x
Sorry G/C from planning... I came off the pill in August 2010 and my cycles were getting longer and longer the longest being the cycle before last which was about 46 days. I have been taking Agnus Castus for about 5 weeks now and it may just be coincidence or pure luck but the cycle just gone has gone back to 32 days.
We're not planning on TTC until June but think a 32 day cycle would be much easier to track then a 46 day cycle. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed it will stay like this.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
If you're going to carry on with it, remember to only take it up to ov, as it can cause contractions, which could stop implantation.
Good luck xxx.
I asked the lady in Holland and Barrett if I could take it all month and she said yes. I'm hoping that my cycles will return to normal now. I'm not very good at remembering to take tablets, weird as I've been taking my pill religiously for just over 10 years.
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Fingers crossed for us both this month.

since coming off the pill in September my cycles have been 38-43 days. I think I might try this to reduce my cycles. But just so I know when do u take it! Some are saying between Af and ov..but if it reduces your cycle how do u know when ov is? I dont have a CBFM, as we arent TTC until June and want to give it a while first, but would love to shorten my cycles before then! Any advice which would be best for me to try to would be very appreciated!!!
Thank you!!!!

I only use the liquid form, by Bioforce / A.Vogel, as I trust this brand 100%. I wouldn't be so keen to try the tablet form by another brand, as I wouldn't be sure if anti-caking agents etc. have been added, which could cause issues unrelated to AC.
broodychops, are they the 400mg ones? i take 2 with food twice a day. And you only take them up until ov. EWCM is a good sign of ov, so watch out for that, and some ov cramps.
Good luck!

I've been taking Agnus Castus 400mg from H&B - two capsules twice a day, plus Vit B6 - 100mg once a day and Pregnacare.
I take it from the first day of AF until I OV.
