The kindness of strangers
When we started thinking about monitoring my own cycle more carefully, in line with the three signs lining up approach, I was ogling the Maybe Baby fertility lens. I almost bought it a few times, but it was $70 which seemed like an awful lot to pay for something that was going to duplicate the information that we were getting from the blood tests at the clinic. So each time I’d practically get to the check out and then I would chicken out and put it back. But then the other day I saw one being given away ‘free to a good home’ on this parenting/TTC discussion board I frequent. So I contacted the woman that was selling it. It’s totally sterilised and all it is is a microscope for your saliva so it should be fine. One of the reasons I wanted it is because I knew a lesbian who used this as her only monitoring tool and fell pregnant on the second go. So, it arrived today, in perfect condition and with a lovely note. I love the way the universe provides and how generous people are out there. It was so nice to get a package in the mail from a kind stranger.
I have just ordered both the Preparing to Conceive CD and the Pregnancy CD recommend by Vee so have a bet each way on where we’ll be in a week or two.
