    Hi Ticklish,

    Just wanted to let you know I have suffered from various different types of problems relating to my cycle since I was 9 when I first got AF.
    After years of trying to get a hold on things through medication, my mother saught the help of an acupuncturist...
    I cannot speak highly enough, my cycles have gone from two weeks of bleeding, 3 - 10 days ok, and then 2 weeks of bleeding again to 28 days each cycle like clockwork.
    I ovulate on day 14, and CM does everything it is supposed to at the right parts of my cycle.
    I also take chinese herbs, too - both for my well being, but also as we are TTC no 2 after quite a long run of bad luck!!!

    I can definately recommend acupuncture for the regularity of your cycles... if you are having it regularly (approx every 2 weeks) you should see the difference as early as 1-3 cycles.

    Love Holly

    Thanks Holly - I am looking forward to trying acupucture - have heard that it can work and acheive good results. I was going to wait another cycle - but I had a rethink and am going for my first session next week and am looking forward to it. I would like a cycle that worked like clockwork. Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck - we have been through some ourselves.

    Mrs B26 - I am with you. We all need a little pampering!!!

    AN UPDATE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!

    Geez, this acupucture is good stuff. It is working a treat. Had much better O this month - not so sluggish and AF is better too!! (more normal, not so long and heavy!) AND the best bit is my cycle is much shorter too!!!

    Didn't catch the eggy this month but having a much shorter follicular phase with the acupucture, we at least have MORE chances. YEAHYEAHYEAH!!! It is always a cause for celebration when AF decides to visit regularly (I have PCOS!)

    P.S. My treat this month was rich dark chocolate - really indulgent - I ate the whole block (well, almost - I did give DH one piece!)
