Fertility, herbal suppliments, & inquiries

I want to start off first by telling you a little about my "fertility" situation. 
After coming off the birth control pill, I was not having a period. I thought that maybe after a couple of months things would get back to normal. Well, they did not. So after 4 months I made an appointment with my doc. He prescribed me Provera to make me have a period each month. I took it, and I did have a period, but I felt it wasn't a "good" period for me.  *I know some of you may not see it my way here, but just bear with me.* The med-induced period was light (for me) and short. My breasts also got very, very sore and tender during this time as well. Where as pre-birth control, they rarely were sore during my cycle. 

I did not like the feeling of this not being normal! So I did a little research and found a very nice company with a good reputation that sold herbal supplements. At first I just took there Daily Women's vitamin mix (femme Defense). It did help me to feel better. So I quit taking my Provera and tried the herbal supplements HB formula and T&C Formula, which is supposed to cleanse and tone up your womanhood. And guess what! I had what I knew was a "normal" period back!  And although I am still not ovulating all if any of my cycles, I am having a period! So this is a small victory! I haven't taken a Provera in over a year and have not taken any of the herbs in at least 8 months! Yay!

Okay, so as the title reads this is also about Inquires, as in our home study has been approved and we can make information inquiries on some of the children that appear at HeartGalleryAlabama.com. And we have done so. We have put in a total of four different inquiries, and have heard back on three of them, and one of those we are waiting on more info. Our social worker says we are doing the right thing by making these info requests, but it all just seems so, what's the word... lengthy. I am a little impatient. It's one of my character flaws. So when I have more info, I will post, but until then we keep looking & inquiring. :)
