Hello Ladies,
Have just logged on here for the first time and am looking forward to having a good look around and getting to know you all.
Firstly though, does anyone have any information to share about the taking of agnus castus for the symptoms of PMS whilst perimenopausal please? A reputable national magazine recommended this for my symptoms, which include periods generally every 5 weeks for the last 2 years, instead of the previously right-on-time 28 days; hot sweats, looking older all of a sudden, slight hair loss etc.
So I started taking 1000mg of the AC four weeks ago, about 2 and a half weeks after my last period. It's now been six and a half weeks since my last period, which has been the longest time in-between periods to date. I'm putting 2-and-2 together and assuming it must be because of the new supplement, however I'm having the usual PMS symptoms (you know - irrational anger, irritability, crying a lot but then getting night sweats and sometimes going slightly hysterical and giddy!).
I'm beginning to get concerned that, instead of the AG helping to ease my PMS/perimenopausal symptoms, it might actually be prolonging them and causing even more distress than usual!
Help!
