 AF came today! but thats ok i was surprisingly not upset. i was cramping bad today and i was like...hmm...its gonna come today. so i went to pee and sure enough there it was. i was like "awww" for just a second then i was like "ok, thats cool". i thought i would be more upset but i'm not. thank god! i really just appreciate knowing. i hated not knowing and waiting.

maybe it just came now because this is the time it was supposed to come (2 days early) but if you ask me i think its because i stopped taking those chinese herbs tuesday night. even though the acupuncturist SWEARS its impossible for them to mess up my cycle, i believe they did.

i think as soon as i stopped taking them, boom, my period came. and i am happy because i feel like my body can get back to normal now. i'm looking forward to having a normal cycle this time around. i'll be looking forward to ovulation this cycle (since i didn't have it last cycle) and i will for sure take advantage and BD a lot. 

also i know some more this time around. so i think i will be better at detecting it. and i feel so much better this time around because of all your support with the whole "relax" thing. i know now that if i try to get pregnant i won't will myself not to. 

i have 2 more chances this year to get pregnant and i'm really hoping to be pregnant for the holidays.

thanks for all your support guys!

Never thought you would so excited to see AF show up?!?!?

I was going to as you if you thought the 'herbs' were messing with your cycle- you didn't do anything different this cycle, did you?

 nope! the ONLY diff thing was the acupuncture and the herbs. i just feel like it was the herbs.

I totally understand what you are saying. Atleast you know now!

I didn't think my period was ever going to end. It lasted 7 days! This sunday I am supposed to ovulate so you know what I will be doing this weekend :-)  LOL   I would like to be pregnant over the holidays as well. But not stress out over it. What will be will be. God is in control in my opinion.

Good luck girl!

If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, I highly recommend the iPeriod app.  Between that app, Metformin and using ovulation predictor tests every day of my cycle, I'm convinced that's what did it for me.  You can buy the tests in bulk on eBay for cheap so you can do it every day.  Just testing for the days I thought I should be fertile didn't work for me...doing it every day did.

I am glad your waiting is over and your body finally did something. Wishing you lots of sticky baby dust for next cycle.

Hope you get your BFP before the holiday!

Wishing you lots of luck for the next cycle Meli!!  Stay positive!

thanks everyone!!
