20th week of acupuncture

I am now on my 20th week of acupuncture and herbs. In other words, I have been seeing LAc for 5 months and still nothing. On Saturday, November 4th, I saw LAc, but she had me take a week of off the herbs. I had some type of a stomach virus, so she decided it would be a good idea to give my body a little break.

This past Saturday, November 11th, I had to cancel my acupuncture appointment, but I still went in to get the herbs I need for this week. I had not taken the last set for Friday, November 3rd, so I began with that one and then I am to continue with the following:

1. Chinese # 0408011-1-10
2. Chinese # 0510081-20051008-1-10
3. Chinese Angelica (Radix Angelicae Sinensis--Danggui)
4. Fleeceflower Root (Radix Polygoni Multiflori--Heshouwu)
5. Glossy Privet Fruit (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi--Nuzhenzi)
6. Motherwort Herb (Herba Leonuri--Yimucao)
7. Nutgrass Galingale Rhizome (Rhizoma Cyperi--Xiangfu)
8. Safflower (Flos Carthami--Honghua)
9. Szechwan Lovage Rhizome (Rhizoma Chuanxiong--Chuanxiong)
10. Tangshen (Radix Codonopsis--Dangshen)

I have to admit, I have not been sticking to my alkaline diet and therefore blame myself for my cycle being all crazy. I am on CD 35 and am still waiting for AF. I am still not sure if I have ovulated or not, so I am not sure when to expect it. I have done a veggie/fruit cleanse today, and will begin again tomorrow with my daily juices. I am hoping this will help me to get back on track. I have to lose a couple more pounds, especially since we will be going to Kahului, Maui, Hawaii for the Christmas break. I can not wait!

I have ordered a Fertilty Monitor in hopes that it will help me pinpoint ovulation a little better. I am still waiting for it to arrive.
