During the time my menstrual cycle started becoming irregular, I tried many herbs to induce a period. Like literally all of the hormone balancing herbs. One herb did work for me, I read online that Chasteberry (vitex) extract is good for PCOS and helps regulate a woman's cycle. So after 6 months of researching about it and
not having my own cycle, I decided to take the pills. I forgot what brand it was but after two weeks of taking vitex, I had a period. And it came back the next month. I thought I found my cure, but after the two period cycles, my period stop coming for a year. That was the biggest red flag that something was extremely wrong. But yeah, I am not saying "hey take vitex if you want a period", please consult your doctor before anything but I just remembered that it is one of the things out there that does work during my Cushing's days. It must be a very powerful herb to work on a cushie. But ultimately, my cure is removing the tumor.
