Can I take this natural approach even if I do not have PCOS, just to try to regulate my periods again?
Thanks for the info!! |
Yep! It's natural for restoring a woman's hormones. If you do a Google search on "Vitex" or "Chasteberry Tree" , you'll find completely good reviews on how it helped women become pregnant and how it restores the hormones to promote your menstrual cycle.
However , Vitex works slow for some people. I took it for a month and the next month I got my period , it was completely tolerable. No heavy bleeding. It went from light>medium>light and then it was gone in a matter of 5 days. It could take months for Vitex to work. Especially since it's a natural herb.
You may not be having a period because your hormones are wacked out. In most cases , women don't have periods because they have anovulatory cycles which they don't ovulate and they don't have a period. So if anything , you're probably not ovulating properly. I would think that if you just had a simple hormone imbalance , your doctor would do some bloodwork and put you on some meds to get everything back on track. You definately need some bloodwork done.
I would suggest that you ask your doctor for a transvaginal ultrasound. I got one which confirmed that I didn't have polycystic ovaries.
