It’s amazing how I can feel absolutely hopeless, write a little post, and get tons of positive response and encouragement. Thank you all very much for those little words – they really mean so much.
Today I called to report the beginning of my cycle. Since we dcided to get a little more aggressive, I start Clomid today for the next 5 days and go in for bloodwork. I start OPK on the 18th and go in for an ultrasound on the 20th. Hopefully all this extra monitoring will help with our timing and this is the last time that we have to do this!
I watched Extreme Couponing last night and I have to say that I am completely fascinated by these ladies! The first one in the show got 2K worth of groceries for LESS THAN $100 DOLLARS! How on EARTH do you do that???
Finally, I’m really interested in doing this new 30 day challenge – the cool thing is it’s a PHOTO challenge. You may already be aware, but I LOVE photography. Hopefully this one will keep me occupied and not bore me!

I hope the extra stuff you are doing for this cycle pays off with the timing. hope hope hope!!!
my sis in law used to do the couponing thing. eventually she quit cause most of the coupons are for “junk” food.
Sadly, the answer to that is that she committed fraud to do that: http://www.jillcataldo.com/node/16258. But! I’ve had some pretty nifty legit deals where I got tons of stuff for $2. It’s kind of a fun hobby if you want something other than babies to think about for a while…
I watched that episode- I’m totally bummed that she committed fraud! I was all excited to try it!
Oh No!!!! I was all excited to try it too!
I’ve never heard of this show. Now I’m really curious. Good luck with the clomid.
what a great idea. i’m down for this challenge!
