won a prize :-(

Well, this is the icing on this crazy ttc cake!  This AM in front of my whole school I won a prize for selling stuff for some fundraiser...The prize?  A gift certificate for a childrens clothing store!!!!  HUH???? I do not have kids!!!  AND no one but one person knows that I am going through this stuff...so why would I want that as a prize????
I just smiled and acted thrilled as 400 kids and their parents and the rest of the staff cheered.....UGH!

Brain fart.. senior citizen moment... blonde moment... they're all treasures!  =)

I have PCOS too... I just don't ovulate on my own (AF are few and far between, unless I take Provera to kick start them).  I did injectable meds for the first time last month/cycle and was also thrilled to see that my body did actually ovulate!!  It's a nice "woohoo" moment when your body does what it's supposed to.

Sorry about af arriving... are you trying Clomid for the next attempt?  Injectables worked WONDERS for me!  Either way... good luck to you on your next attempt.  

Have a nice weekend!

Struggling with ttc really does change your outlook on certain things, doesn't it?  I worked in a day care center about 5 years ago working primarily with infants... I loved it!!  But I didn't know then what I know now (that ttc isn't going to be as easy as I thought it would... I'm anovulatory).  I don't think I could go work in a day care center at this point in my life... it would just be too depressing I think.  

kindergal -   I'm sorry that the school didn't really think through their prize lot... that prize really only works when you know 100% that the person actually has a child.  Sounds like the school had a momentary brain fart!  

Good luck on this cycle (Clomid?)!

you poor bugger - our time will come....
im in the process of looking for a new job and i tried convincing myself that working in a childrens store wouldnt upset me - oh, how i was wrong... i got there for the interview and i knew instantly!!!!! i felt sick and knew i couldnt do it.
isnt it funny how much more sensitive we are when ttc - things that wouldnt have upset us before make us react completely different.
our time will come girls and congrats to those who are already preg!
