Herbs

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been seeing a naturopath for a couple of months.
She has had me make a few dietary changes. Nothing major, just more regular snacking, more protein, more substantial breakfast and some vitamins. Well she has given me something new.
I had an appointment with her on Saturday and she has prescribed me some liquid herbs. My charting that I have been doing for her shows that I dont ovulate until at least day 19. She's not happy with this and thinks it's too late and wants to bring it forward a bit. This is where the herbs come in - they're supposed to help in that area.
She told me they taste like boiled up car tyres. Well, she was wrong!! They taste so much worse. I only have to have 75ml which sounds like nothing. I follow it with a chaser of pineapple juice but it still takes half an hour to get rid of the taste. It's disgusting.

Today I am on CD 33 and 13DPO. I only know this because I am charting for my naturopath. I charted for the first 2 years we were TTC and my luteal phase was 10-11 days. I'm excited to be at 13DPO. Either what the naturopath has me doing is actually helping things, or I'm pregnant!! HA! I don't even have pee sticks in the house as I refuse to waste my money anymore. For someone who has always been concerned about luteal phase length, it's exciting to get to 13DPO!
