A little help from my friends

I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.

So, this month I began to take some Chinese herbs or as I call them "My friends." I take one herbal blend for 1 week after I stop bleeding and then I switch to Herbal Blend #2 which is supposed to help with luteal phase deficiency. I haven't had any side effects from them thus far (other than a little heartburn since I started Herbal blend #2...not sure if it is the herbs or all the rich food I have eaten in the last week!)

Do I think these herbs are going to work this cycle?...not really. I know with most herbs it takes approximately 3 months for things to build up in your system and work. But, I am loving the fact that we may correct my cycle without the horrible bloating, breast swelling, and mood swings I had from clomid. I felt miserable when I was taking that drug and honestly, it didn't seem to help all that much anyway.

So, here's hoping that I get a little help from my "friends". I had a positive ovulation test on day 16 which I have only had with clomid before. So, that's an improvement!
