Pineapple, Egg McMuffins, my fears, and I'm a WINNER!!!

Pineapple and Egg McMuffins.
So...awhile back I read someones blog, don't ask me which one, that the only thing that was different about the cycle she got AND STAYED pregnant was the one where she ate pineapple 0-6dpo and an Egg McMuffin on 7dpo.

Last month I tried it, but failed a little. I missed one night of pineapple consumption, and failed to read the part where it said must be fresh pineapple, and I ate a fake Egg McMuffin. So this month I have done it right. And I have the awful sores on my lips and inside my mouth to prove that I have eaten my weight in pineapple (well not quite my weight, that would be a heck of a lot) and this morning I stopped at MickeyDee's for a real Egg McMuffin.

Which now leads to

My Fears.
I may be convinced that I am pregnant. I can't tell you what makes me think this, but I can tell you that if I am in fact NOT pregnant, I will be horribly crushed. Crushed more than any other negative cycle. Be warned.

I'm a WINNER!!!

The wonderful JamieD at The Therapist is In gave me a wonderful award and I must thank her!! (I have an acceptance speech too, but don't want to bore you all with it, you can catch me tomorrow morning at 6am practicing it again in my mirror if you are interested)

Here is my beautious award:



Part of the winnings given to me is the right to award this to others, seven others as a matter of fact. I read a gazillion blogs and must say it was very difficult to narrow this down to seven. But I've taken a crack at it:

1-TBean at Baby Steps. Her blog often inspires me to be more me. I know that may sound silly, but she says things I wish I could, shares things that I keep burrowed inside, and is just a wonderful comment giver to boot!

2-Gia at Patiently Awaiting "Hope" who has a story similar to mine, but a much more positive attitude.

3-Mulberry and Dakota at wildride43gals who are two wonderful women and I enjoy reading their words!!!

4-Travelher and Pufferfish at Puffer and the Baby Fish-I love to read of their many travels and hope their Baby Fish journey is their best one yet!

5-Giggleblue at Specific Destiny who I've been a quiet reader of, but still get so excited to read her updates!!

6-Lizzie at Two Chicks In Pursuit of a Babe, I can't wait to read your pursuits happy ending!!

7-Sara at the egg dance-Who gave me the most wonderful gift-socks, three of them, which caused a wonderful conversation between my legs at my last IUI. (And no, I don't think the socks were a bribe so that I would award her this)

If you want to pass along the Brilliante Award to some of your favorite blogs, here are the rules that go along with this award:

1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3. Nominate at least seven other blogs.
4. Add links to those blogs on your blog.
5. Leave a message for your nominee on their blog

Aw, really, reeeaaaally? I'm having a Sally Field at the Oscar's moment (you like me, you really like me!).
This is so sweet! Thank you!!!!
I just bought a pineapple on the way home from IUI #1 and will put on my calendar for the McD's run at 7DPO.
I'm with you, if this one is a negative, I will be crushed.
So let's hope we are both a big super positive!!!

I'm so excited for you. Thinking the stickiest fucking thoughts I can.

Go team pineapple. Does this mean the baby will be pineapple? I think it goes beautifully with the mingo theme!

I just wanted to say Hi (just found your blog on Mulberry's)and good luck! That is a whole lot of pineapple! But an egg McMuffin is a great reward for eating all that tropical fruit!!! Did you know that pineapples grow on stalks? I didn;t know that 'till I googled it. An important fact. Hope it helps... I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
