Always consult your doctor before combining Vitex and Femara. Self-treating can be dangerous.
Typical Vitex dosage for fertility support ranges from 40-80 mg of extract daily. Femara dosage is determined by your physician based on your individual needs and response, typically starting at 2.5mg daily for five days.
Timing is crucial. Many recommend taking Vitex in the luteal phase (after ovulation) to support the second half of your menstrual cycle. Femara is usually taken on specific days of your cycle, as directed by your doctor, to stimulate ovulation. Never take these medications concurrently without explicit guidance from your fertility specialist.
The interaction between Vitex and Femara isn’t fully understood. Vitex might influence estrogen levels, potentially affecting Femara’s effectiveness. Close monitoring is vital.
