Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old female with normal menstrual cycles. I began taking Vitex a month back and stopped after 20 days. I took way too much. The bottle said to take two pills a day but the pills are 400 mg a piece. I now realize that this is way too much. I am concerned because I got my period two days late and it is very heavy. I know this is a normal response to how much Vitex I took. I am just worried that my body will not be able to go back to normal on its own. I am worried that I will need to go on birth control pills to correct this issue. I am looking for guidance on what I should do. Should I wait to see how long my period is? Should I go get birth control pills? Is there anything natural I can do to fix this?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I just read your query. See two to four days late or early periods are considered normal if you get menstruation every month and do not skip any cycle. As far as heavy bleeding is concerned, it can be due to the herb. But wait for another cycle. I will not recommend you to take birth control pills right now. The herb contents will wash away from the body very soon as you have stopped taking it. So take your normal diet and drink plenty of water daily. Wait for your next menstrual cycle and watch for the bleeding and other things. Hopefully, it will be corrected automatically.
