Unsung Lullabies - Infertility Giveaway

I'm giving away the copy of Unsung Lullabies that I received from the authors. It has really fabulous reviews on Amazon (see the above link).

To be included in the drawing, link back to this post or to Fertility Stories on your blog or website and leave me a comment.

The winner will be chosen randomly and announced on October 2nd. I'll be happy to ship it to any country.

We have a winner!

Congratulations, Anita :-)

And the background, to anyone who was curious, is a passport.

Passports are a frequent topic of conversation around here - we're getting everything together so that I can go to...To anyone else who is going, I'd love to meet up with you! Leave me a comment and I'll be happy to get in touch.

Murano to whom?

Following is a poll - vote for who should get the earrings.



Thanks!

Giveaway #2 - a treat

This week's giveaway is Murano earrings, handmade in Peru.

Last summer, Hadas and I imported jewelry and we participated in a fair (selling jewelry) at the end of the summer. We've still got quite a lot of beautiful things.

To participate, leave a comment by Wednesday saying one of the things that made/makes your 2 week wait more tolerable.

Guess what the background is & get a free Murano bracelet too.

Or maybe not

No need to vote this week, our winner is Minerva Jane (please send me your address so I can get them out to you).

When I was going for IVF*, I bought myself a present for each cycle - something that I would get to keep even if the cycle failed. Once it was a pocketbook I loved, another time it was a set of sheets... things I didn't really need.

Anyway, from the emails I got, it seems that pregnancy tests aren't the most appealing thing to win, especially since many of my readers don't seem to need them at this time. So... next week it's going to be Murano earrings - handmade in Peru & absolutely beautiful (a picture will appear in the post either tomorrow or on Sunday).

More interesting?

*Matan and Lilach, my IVF-FET twins are turning 12 tomorrow! Happy birthday!!!

Giveaway #1

Guess what? A set of 10 pregnancy test strips is up for grabs (shipping included).

Want it? All you have to do is leave a comment on this post by Wednesday - include how many tests is the most you use(d) during a single two-week-wait. Also feel free to add why you really want to get them...

On Thursday, I'll put up a poll & let everyone vote for the winner who'll be announced next Sunday.

Good luck!

Who needs free peesticks?

As part of my search for a new direction for this blog, I have been trying to think of a way to give something to women who are out there and still waiting to conceive... So this is what I've come up with so far - starting this Sunday, each week I'll put up a new blog post announcing a new giveaway. Anyone who wants a chance to get 10 free pregnancy tests can leave a comment by Wednesday.

On Thursday, I'll put up a poll allowing everyone to choose who'll win.

On Sunday (a week after the original post), I'll announce the winner who will get 10 pregnancy test strips sent to her address for free - shipping included, of course. She'll have to contact me to give me her address (though I'll happily send an email, if I have the email address).

I'm allowing sponsorships too - if there's more than one per week, I'll give out that number of sets of free pregnancy tests (see the sponsorship link on the sidebar).

Are OPKs as appealing?
