I've been having acupuncture for about 1 1/2 months now, and using TCM herbs during this cycle, and I O'd on CD 24. The last cycle that I O'd on (that I know of) was Jan 2001, and I O'd on CD 31 then.
Just thought I'd let people know that this seems to have worked for me. We'll just have to wait and see if we struck it lucky or if I'll be back to the herbs and needles for the next cycle.

Hi and congrates on ur O can u tell plz me which herbs u were taking ,with dosage b/c i dont O and i am ttc. need some help from those who r taking herbs and got PG.thanks
The herbs I was taking are Chinese medicine ones. I see a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor and she prescribes a specific bunch each time. It changes depending on exactly what your body is doing at that point. Even if two people have the same symptoms, the herbs can still be very different because one little thing is different between them.
So, I'm sorry, but I can't really tell you exactly what I was taking or in what doses. It was just a bunch of dried herbs (a bag for each day) that you make a sort of tea out of. It tastes foul, but helps. It's helped me with asthma, migraines and bronchitis in the past too.
Sorry, I'm in the UK, so I really couldn't help you. To be honest, I found my current TCM doc almost by accident. My old one went back to China, so I wasn't seeing anyone. Then I ran out of a lotion I had for massaging my back (helps with the tension there) and went to another one to see if they had any. They didn't, but suggested acupuncture, which I hadn't had much before (one treatment only). I tried it for my back, then ended up asking about my PCOS too.
So, from my experience, I would say look around 'til you find someone you feel comfortable with.
Accupuncture + TCM herbs=O!!
