Taking Clomid and Vitex???

Question

I have been taking Vitex for a while now, and my doctor put me on clomid for 3 cycles. Tomorrow is the fifth day of my cycle and I will have to take the first pill.

Has anyone taken them together or should I stop the vitex while I take the clomid?

I read online about clomid making the CM not as fertile, is it ok if I take Evening Primrose Oil so that I get more fertile CM??

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You are not supposed to take Clomid and Vitex together. One basically makes the other not work, so if you're taking both you're just wasting your time an money. If you're still on the Vitex stop taking it right away. I just started Vitex and did a lot of research on it before.Don't know anything about Primrose oil though.  

Answer 2

STOP THE VITEX.  Google vitex and Clomid, they are not suppose to be taken together. They counteract each other. Does your doctor know you are on the Vitex?  If not I would let your doctor know prior to starting the Clomid.  There may be a wait time until you can start taking the Clomid to get Vitex.

Also as far as the CM, it is not that the Clomid makes it less fertile, it is that it can dry you up a bit.  I would suggest Mucinex, Robotussin, or PreSeed.  If you want to try EPO check with your doc.
