After having 3 miscarriages, my prolactin level shot up so high my gynacologist could not explain. I was placed on parlodel bromocriptine for more than a year, but no improvement. Each time I stop taking parlodel, the prolactin goes high. In July 2013, my gyn. decided to place me on Carbagoline but I said no, that I was tired. I told her about vitex and that I want to give it a try. Though she didn’t give me a go ahead, I started taking vitex since September till date and so far, I have taken it for 2 months now. I had to do another hormonal profile test and to my surprise, my prolactin level did not shoot up this time around. The last test I did was in June/July 2013 and the result showed 75.4ng/mL. The recent prolactin test I did on November 2nd, 2013 showed 35.75ng/mL. Waow! even my gyn. was speechless. Though it is still high but taking vitex for just 2 months has drastically reduced it. My gyn. just said “if it works for you, please continue; I will like to do a research on vitex someday”. I have not stopped taking vitex; I am going to continue for the next 6 months and see it work permanently on me. Thanks a lot Dalene, Hethir, JC Cash and all the entire team at Natural Fertility shop. I just purchased more products to help boost my fertility.

It is with great joy that I write to inform you that I am almost 3 months pregnant. I am so happy. Yes it has been a long journey but thank God I finally got pregnant. The fetus is visible and heartbeat strong. Thanks to everyone and everything that made this happened.
