Hi Rapunzel! thanks for the reply. I decided not to take both meds at
the same time. I am not on clomid and Metformin. The doctor said the
metformin will make me ovulate. I don't know....this is my first time
to use metformin so wish me luck...I hope this cycle will be sucessful.

>Chaste tree berry is the same thing as vitex i believe. I am currently taking vitex. DO NOT take it with clomid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reason for this is because the chaste tree berry and the clomid cancel each other out, so nothing will work for you! I am not sure why this happens, but i seen your post, and i wanted to make sure to respond to your questions asap before you do take them together. Alot of PCOS women I have talked to have taken vitex and they ended up getting their periods every months, O'd, and alot of them became pregnant off of them!!!!!!!!! This is why i decided to try it. Good luck!
