I 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…

knpswp: 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.

The 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!

knpswp: I think it’s definitely a symptom from getting the IUD out. I had major bloating when I got mine out (along with a lot of other symptoms, so if you experience night sweats, headaches, exhaustion, etc it’s Prob due to that).

knpswp: 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.

Now 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!
