It would be best to not use Vitex into pregnancy without the strick supervision of a qualified herbalist, ND or midwife. It would be best to learn about using natural progesterone cream instead of synthetic progesterone prescribed by your doctor. Natural progesterone is safe to use during pregnancy and may likely prevent many first trimester spontaneous abortions but should be used with caution in nursing as it may stop lactation. In the first trimester of pregnancy progesterone production is the sole responsibility of the ovaries, often they may fail to produce sufficient levels to maintain the pregnancy. By the second trimester, the placenta itself is responsible for producing progesterone, and it hikes the level of this hormone to 486% higher than the non-pregnant norm.

Synthetic progesterone drugs, not being natural progesterone, have side effects that if used to maintain the pregnancy may do damage to the baby.

If you are taking progesterone and get pregnant, you must continue taking progesterone until at least the 16th week. I personally would not stop if I had seriously low levels to begin with. But it is best to work with your health care practitioner if this is the case. They will continuously monitor your levels to make sure they are healthy for pregnancy.

Is it safe to take Vitex during pregnancy instead of the synthetic hormone progesterone?

Your Chinese herbalist is correct. In general it is best not to combine Chinese Herbs with Western Herbs unless the practitioner is trained or educated about both. It is possible to combine some of them when educated about each particular herb of interest. Maca and wheatgrass are considered superfoods first and foremost and have been shown safe to combine with most herbs. You could print some information about Maca off for him, he could look it over and then you can go from there.

It would be best to wait for at least a month after the operation, to make sure you are fully healed and rested. You may begin a multivitamin supplement at any time.

The Improve Egg Health Kit may be done at the same time as the Fertility Cleanse Kit or begun after the cleanse is over.
