Don't use it.: There is no reason at all to 'take' vitex. Stop using it. Most 'natural Progesterone creams' do not contain any progesterone, and often contain plant extracts that are estrogenic . In my view there is no use for these creams. Talk with a doctor about pcos alternatives to what you need.
