I haven't posted on the "Our Journey" section of the blog in awhile due to the fact that I wanted to wait to see if I had any "news" to actually post. Well, much to my surprise and excitement, I have news!
No, not THAT kind of news...but still...
It's been about a month since I began my daily regimen of Vitex before meals. As stated in my previous post, this is an attempt to naturally balance out my hormones, due to presumed post-pill PCOS - look it up, it's for real.
So here are the updates:
I took the first two photos below on the day that I began taking Vitex. As you can see, I was experiencing some pretty yucky-looking hormonal acne. These breakouts had been plaguing me for several weeks. I had to change my makeup routine and everything! Thank goodness for makeup tutorials on YouTube, right?

Weeellll, I just took these photos this morning...
Looks much better, right? I still have some breakouts and scarring, but I'd say the acne has improved quite a bit. With a little DIY coffee scrub, the scarring should go away soon!
TMI moment, but here's the most exciting change since beginning Vitex. I have never had a regular cycle length without HBC. I mean it, never. I had gotten up to a cycle length of 35 days! But this cycle was right at 28 days long! I was ecstatic!
To be honest, I didn't think my taking Vitex would cause such drastic changes. At least not this quickly. I am so hopeful now! Again, I can't praise God enough for opening my eyes to this natural method to balance my hormones.
Will be updating again with other updates and changes, as I am confident it will continue!
Eternally #grateful, Amy
