This morning im not having the thich stuff, just the really sticky wet stuff (sorry) and I quit taking the vitex about 2 days ago. And no, its not a prescription, I just take it to help me with my hormones, and it really has helped.

Just one more thing, I was thinking this was a prescribed medicine...I really think you should read this because I agree with the other poster that you could be pregnant and if you are, it could be harmful to the fetus:

Not to mention the unprotected sex, the pills shouldn't give you those side effects. Good luck.

Oooh, the OP's response was posted after I wrote my response...I think you definitely need to take a pregnancy test.

Those sound like pregnancy symptoms, but sometimes the pill can do that too. It defnitely sounds like it's hormonal and probably not an STD. I wouldn't advise to suddenly stop taking your prescription. Call your doctor or the advice nurse first, tell them what's going on that way they can tell you if what's happening to you is a side effect and that way they can put you one something else. I think if you just stop taking it suddenly it could screw things up even more.

Make an appointment with your gynecologist ASAP. If you do not have insurance there should be a free program through your health department. Look it up under your state or county in the phone book. My state will also pay for your birth control if you are low income.Birth control will also regulate your period. Many people are placed on the pill for this reason, rather than using it for birth control. The pill may also make your period shorter, mine is now only about 3 days. Every person reacts differently to each medication, hence, if you are not happy with yours, call and make another appointment.

 Honey to me it sounds like you are pregnant. I've been though it twice and all that is the signs of being pregnant. I would make a doctors appointment asap. You need to find out just in case you are so you don't do anything to hurt the baby. Just to be sure make that appointment.
