Vitex is pretty mild and they're probably only erring on the side of caution by avoiding anything that might be hormonal. Yet they'll prescribe hormonal solutions for endometriosis. If anything vitex should raise progesterone and lower estrogen, likely helping the condition. If I understand correctly your ratio of progesterone to estrogen is a little low so it may be worth a shot. Carefully though. It's not bad to be careful, only bad when taken to such an extreme that it shuts out anything that might be helpful too.
Likewise the claim about estrogenic herbs causing cancer is because estrogen causes cancer and they're afraid the herbs might do the same. Actually nearly all the studies on herbs show cancer prevention. It's moot in your case though since you should avoid most herbs anyway.
