My period has truly been regulated because of this and last month I ovulated I just missed but next month I am hoping to conceive

i have really bad pre-menstrual cramps (maybe from years of not having my period?) a month of vitex and raspberry teas has helped tone my uterus and i think my cycle is more regular even though i'm not getting in as much excercise as i should. i'm hoping it will also help with the excess hair--i also blend spearmint into my tea because a couple of studies show spearmint reduces hirsutism.

I started taking this about a year ago and it seems to have brought on a cycle by itself. I have not experienced any side effects from it.

I take this myself and I think it has been helpful. It seems to have brought on a period before I started the metformin. The best part is that it has no side effects.
