yeah i was on the pill for 9 years so i think thats why my cycles are a bit out of wack. unfortunately i cant really afford to see an accupunturist on a regular basis. i saw one last cycle and to be honest im not sure it helped at all. she didn't actually address the problem i was there for(5 month cycle) and tried to treat something else. i realise that sometimes you have to fix other things to get to the real problem but with limited funds its not really an option for me to go back every week.

thanks for the advice though i really appreciate it.
