4 Reasons Why Ask DoctorBase is the Most Efficient Way to SEO and Establish Your Brand Online

  1. Ask DoctorBase is a free service for patients on the DoctorBase platform - currently servicing over 6 million American patients of record.
  2. All answers submitted by healthcare professionals (you) are for entertainment purposes only and do not constitute doctor-patient relationships. All patients must agree to this before using Ask DoctorBase.
  3. Our software and our Marketing Engineering staff review each answer and optimize your answers for keywords valuable to your specialty. It is a well kept secret that doctors (you) - not SEO consultants - are the ones who have the most valuable content prized by search engines. Ask DoctorBase "unlocks and optimizes" your content in the most efficient manner possible with today's technology.
  4. Finally, the doctor who provides the most popular answer - "the Featured Answer," gets an added benefit by allowing patients to write rave reviews about your expertise - reviews that are submitted to both Google and Google Local through our Preferred Data Provider relationship.

Vitex is a herbal supplement that acts by increasing the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) , which in turn increases progesterone.

If you are pregnant and if you continue taking Vitex until week-8, the only problem you may encounter is the persisting corpus-luteum cyst which will collapse by itself in a week or two. But if you continue taking Vitex after the formation of placenta, you may increase the risk of miscarriage, as pregnancy too, requires adequate levels of estrogens for the placental growth.

My advise: although you had PCOS (as a preexisting condition), once you got pregnant, don't play with the hormones. Get treatment only if symptomatic.
