VItex

August 14, 2007

I have been TTC for 2 years. I had 4 IUI and 2 attempted IVF's. All

test and blood test are fine. I get a regular period. I produce follics

but no eggs and my doctor does not know why. I recently read about an

herb Vitex that women take while TTC. Could you tell me any information

about Vitex? and any reason I would not be producing eggs.

Hi Suzy,

During your IVF cycles, no eggs were also retrieved even though there were follicles? We can sometimes see this in women over 40 y/o...do you have endometriosis? Also can create these problems. Did you have the 2 types of hCG used for trigger? (long shot but anything can help). Vitex, can't hurt, but honestly may not be the "cure-all" for you. You would really need a full evaluation of your medical record to see what may be going on, and let us know if we can help.
