Brief Answer:
Possibility of pregnancy is more

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Vitex containing herbal dietary supplements may not affect the pregnancy test result.
Usually urine pregnancy test kit can give accurate result two to three weeks after ovulation.
As all the three tests gave positive results, there is more possibility for pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the response, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
