I am selling one Cue II Fertility Monitor which is the slightly less high-tech version of the Ovacue.

I used it for about a month before I found out I was pregnant. (It has been washed and sanitized.)

Includes: the Monitor device, tongue sensor, instructional booklet (which includes copiable charts), Satin Pink travel bag, battery, 5 pregnancy tests and as an added bonus I am including the Ovagraph software CD-rom.

When is Cue II is an Advantage over OvaCue?
"Women who are experiencing extremely long cycles or are not ovulating regularly due to anovulation, breastfeeding or other reasons, may have better results with the Cue II because no cycle lengths are recorded. Also, Cue II provides a lower-cost alternative to OvaCue."

I am looking to get $150 for it or best offer (retails for $200 plus $24.95 for the software).

I accept paypal and money orders. Shipping will be $5.20, shipped via USPS flat rate. Let me know if you have any questions.

#72: Bake a batch of Shortbread Mushrooms

A few weeks ago I attempted these Shortbread Mushrooms and failed horribly, all I had was wheat flour and they came out dry and tasted like poo. I tried again tonight and they came out perfect! Happy, buttery, flaky.

I enjoyed 3 of them with a glass of milk, hubby ate the other one.

One more thing off my 101 in 1001.

A great way to top off a great day!

#42: Bake a rainbow cake.

I know my 101 in 1001 list doesn't start officially until April 1st, but I could resist making this cake. Really, I made it in celebration of finally getting to see my husband at normal hours! I found a wonderful little tutorial from Omnomicon. The 2 things I did differently, I bought my icing (rainbow chip) and I made the cake as the box says, with the oil, water & eggs.

I documented the coloring bits, because really who wants to see pictures of just eggs, water and oil sloshing around in cake mix?

After a sink full of dishes and the phase hubby affectionately (and with a girlish giggle) called "Boob Cakes".

I iced it (even with being a tub of icing short) and excitedly cut into it, with amazing results.

I will be making this again of course with more icing. Maybe I will try the time consuming cupcake version, just to save stuffing all of it in my face.

Fertility Bracelet Information

noreply@blogger.com (Hopeful Mama) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:40:00 +0000

I got a few comments on my previous post about my fertility bracelet.

It was something I made for myself using gemstones that have properties that are said to improve fertility.

The gemstone (and their properties) I used were:

Lemon Chrysoprase is said to help balance energies, increase fertility, soothe heartache and lonelines, provide courage, stimulate balance and heals women's reproductive organs.

Carnelian is said the boost fertility, promote sexuality and reproduction, stimulates balance and healing to women's reproductive organs, helps with PMS, irregular cycles and cramps, encourages creativity, and reduces inflammation.

Red Coral is said to aid in conception and pregnancy, provide special healing for the ovaries and fallopian tubes, stimulate ovulation, encourages healthy childbirth and increase mother and baby bonding.

Moonstone is said to regulate menstrual cycles, easing hormone fluctuations, increasing woman's wisdom and powers of intuition, boosts overall female energy and energy linked to reproductive health.

Unakite is said to protect and balance the immune system, lift spirits, build self confidence and stregthen courage, stimulate health of the heart, circulatory system and reproductive systems.

Labradorite is said to provide protection and detoxify the body.

Green Aventurine is said to provide good luck.

Blue Aventurine is said to provide a positive outlook, remove toxins from the body and decrease negative emotions.

A silver baby shoe is a subtle reminder of what I am working for and the eventual end result.

Everything is place on coated wire, with silver bead accents with a lobster claw clasp.

I know that gemstones aren't going to be a cure all, but I do believe that they have certain energies that can be helpful.

So on that note, I am thinking about making a one of these, and doing a give-away. Would anyone be interested?

I would also be interested in taking a few commissions if anyone was interested in that as well.

Thank you for all of your comments, they are really appreciated.
