Evening Primrose Oil late Jan & Vitex for luteal phase defect

After my second miscarriage, and in my continued angst to find out the causes of the miscarriages, I started reading blogs on the internet that discussed luteal phase defect as a possible cause of miscarriages. The luteal phase is the time between ovulation and when your period starts. It's also when the lining of the uterus becomes thicker to prepare for possible pregnancy. Luteal phase defect is when ovulation occurs later in the cycle and the luteal phase is shorter than normal, so the uterus doesn't become as thick as it should.

Thinking that luteal phase defect could potentially be the cause of my miscarriages, I started reading up on some natural remedies to treat luteal phase defect. One of these was Vitex, which is meant to assist in increasing progesterone levels to allow ovulation to occur normally, in turn increasing the luteal phase. A second remedy that I read about was evening primrose oil, in that it assists in normalising hormone levels that are important for fertility. I was also recommended evening primrose after discussing my miscarriages with a naturopath at a health food store.

I started taking Vitex and evening primrose oil towards the end of January 2015.
