No enough Info.: According to company who makes Vitex, it is a herbal medicine that might act on the Pituitary gland. Even we consider their claim is true, the mechanism of the abortions in the first trimester is not that much related to LH and FSH. So I do not think using Vitex has that much impact on that.
