Helped me get pregnant by extending my luteal (post-ov) phase
I am reviewing the Vitanica Pregnancy Prep after using it for approx. 3 months and successfully getting pregnant. I have struggled to get pregnant for about 1.5 yrs so I'm writing this review in the hopes that its helpful for someone else trudging through the plethora of online research to figure out how to get pregnant. My review includes some tips for the hopeful folks out there.First off, I see a fertility acupuncturist (FA) whom has been my 'coach' through the past several months of trying to get pregnant. I highly recommend seeing one if you are looking for a next step - its a much more natural and less invasive method of fertility treatment than IUI or IVF. In addition to my acupuncture treatment, which included taking a regular course of Chinese herbs, My FA recommended that I start taking Pregnancy Prep as a way of making my cycle more consistent in length. In particular, she wanted to see if we could lengthen my luteal (post-ovulation) phase because, after tracking my BBT for 2 months, she was seeing that my luteal phase was less than 10 days long and I wasn't getting a very strong temperature spike at time of ovulation. My cycle was also varying in length from 26-29 days. The significance of this is that my body may not have been able to sustain a pregnancy past a few days because my progesterone levels weren't strong enough during the second half of my cycle. I should note that I had already been testing my LH levels for several months (and getting positives) but once I finally decided to start tracking my BBT, I could see that my LH spike was about 4 days prior to my ovulation. I suspect this was affecting our timing of intercourse - we were essentially having sex too early in my cycle and not continuing long enough through my cycle. Anyone who is a working stiff and/or over 30 yrs, probably knows how stressful it can be to time sex to that degree. :)Once I started taking Pregnancy Prep, my cycle lengthen quickly started to normalize to a 28-29 day cycle. My FA started me at a half-dose for the first month but then bumped me up to a full dose thereafter. By the 3rd month of taking Pregnancy Prep, I am now pregnant for the first time. I'm still early in my pregnancy so much can still go wrong but given that this is the first time being pregnant in 1.5 yrs, I consider this to be a huge step in the right direction. I should also mention that for me personally, I found that my stress reaction (for instance, to deadlines at work) were much less severe. I know I tend to stress quite frequently so my FA suggested that the Pregnancy Prep would help my body to come back to a 'normal' level more easily rather than sustaining an elevated stress/cortisol level. I feel like the Pregnancy Prep helped to do this. So in summary, I'd definitely recommend trying Pregnancy Prep if you are TTC BUT I also recommend seeing a specialist if you're able. I feel like it was the combination of coaching, Pregnancy Prep, acupuncture, and herbs that helped me to conceive.I hope this review helps and wish you luck if you're TTC!

Great Vitamin! Great Quality! Organic and Vegan! Great Value!
I am 43 years old and I have been trying to conceive for more than a year and a half. My cycles have always been very regular and predictable. With my age I have recently noticed a change in my menstrual cycle lengths . I began spotting mid-cycle and during my luteal phase and I was concerned that this was the cause for my infertility. So I began taking supplements to help balance out hormone levels. For four months I used another pre-conception multi-vitamin but noticed no change. I still had to take in addition to this several other supplements that were not present or only present in low dosage in that multi-vitamin. I just began to take Vitanica Pregnancy Prep this cycle and have already noticed a change. I read up on the different key ingredients and saw that it perfectly fit my needs. One of the key ingredients Vitex (chaste tree berry) is designed specifically to balance out progesterone levels during the luteal phase. I am happy to say that this cycle I had no break through spotting and my luteal phase went from 11 to 12 days in length. The vitamins are large and a bit hard to swallow but I now take one at a time with plenty of water and its ok. I highly recommend this product especially for women TTC over 35. I also saw the same product on another fertility site and the price was almost tripled for the same brand and quantity! So please do your research!

Works well
This is really great product for regulating menstrual cycles as they grow erratic with age. I take 1 at 2x daily plus plain vitex 1 at 2x daily . I started when my hypothyroid threw my mood and cycle into a tailspin 5 years ago & have stayed on it. I added in the supplemental vitex a couple of years ago and it's given me precise & predictable cycles.Missing a few days will put you in a mood and can jump start the cycle, so I can absolutely say this is a commitment that is worth it to keep things regular and healthy in the hormonal department. Also, Amazon is the only way to go - it can be up to $30 at whole foods for a small bottle, but ranges $13-$18 here.

So much better
I have taken these for two months now. By the second month I had a perfect 28 day cycle ( after many months of irregular long cycles and painful periods ) And I've only been taking two pills a day. This period was much less painful as well. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I purchased this with the idea that it would help me to conceive which hasn't happened yet but I am still hopeful that it will since I've had such good results with my cycle already.

Stomach pain
Took with food for 2 days and each time it made my stomach hurt so bad for a couple hours. Was really looking forward to using this.

Worked for me! Twice!
I first started taking this supplement in 2016 because i was trying to have normal periods. I would have spotting all month long, heavy periods, all around concerning symptoms. I honestly felt in my heart because of this i would have a hard time ever getting pregnant. My husband and i had stopped any kind of protection for a year in a half before I added these to my daily routine. Not because we were actively trying to get pregnant but because of the above. Within the first bottle my spotting got significantly better so i went ahead and bought a second bottle. I didn't get through the second bottle before becoming pregnant! I absolutely credit the pregnancy to these supplements. I stopped taking them once i got the positive pregnancy test and went on to have a healthy baby boy.Fast forward to 2019. I was ready for another baby and this time i was doing everything possible to make that happen. My periods were back to being on the fritz so i got some ovulation strips and ordered some more of these pills. Within three months i was pregnant again and went on to have a healthy baby girl. Again, i believe in my heart Pregnancy Prep helped me get pregnant both times. And if you are not looking to get pregnant but are desperate to have normal periods these really helped me. If you are on the fence just do it! No adverse side effects
