MemberI started Vitex 4 days ago. For the past 2 days I have noticed a significant amount of lower abdomen/pelvis bloating! I seriously could pass for 4 months pregnant. I usually don’t bloat like this and don’t have any other symptoms occuring. Anyone have bloating with Vitex? Tempted to discontinue it…
Memberknpswp: I took Vitex for several months and never experienced anything like that. I’ve never heard of bloating being a side effect, but I would probably quit it if I were you. I’m so sorry it’s not working.
MemberThe bloating has definitely improved over the last two days – I think it could have been a combination of my hormones as I had the IUD removed on Monday. I did read that bloating could be a side effect, so I’m just keeping an eye on it for now! Thanks for your reply!
MemberMemberyeah mostly having intermittent nausea, bloating and restless sleep so far…nothing too severe so i’m hoping this is the worst of it but i’ve read horror stories of mirena crash!

Memberknpswp: Might not be a common symptom of Vitex… Have you talked to your doctor about it/about taking it? I take Vitex and I’m losing more weight (LOVEEEE THAT). I heard Vitex doesn’t work for everyone. Maybe it’s more side affects from the IUD. Again, hust check in with the doctor of you’re concerned.
MemberNow that its been A few days I really think the bloating was from the IUD removal as it only lasted two days and I have continued the Vitex. Thanks for all the replies!
