Can You Take Progesterone Cream and Vitex / Chasteberry Together?
Dose or timing may matter
The short answer
Vitex increases endogenous progesterone by modulating pituitary LH output. Adding exogenous progesterone cream may produce excessive progesterone levels.
How to arrange timing
Consider using either Vitex or progesterone cream, not both, and monitoring progesterone levels.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
