I have decided that since so many of us spend at least 2 weeks each month dreading the arrival of a certain "aunt," that it would be nice to spend some time each month looking forward to a different monthly gift.  I have put together a gift package of some things that can help make the start of a new cycle not as horrible. 

You may already know that the antioxidants of dark chocolate are good for your heart but did you know that it can reduce stress, boost your mood, and enliven your libido!?  So when we realize that another cycle is down the "gurgler," (I had never heard that term before for a toilet until a Kiwi friend used it.  I love it!) few things sound quite as good as some decadent chocolate!  Then, if you manage to save any, sounds like a few bites before bed time might boost your chances for next month!



How about a soothing, calming, tension relieving soak in the tub?  When you feel like you are drowning yourself in tears, giving yourself some TLC with this Juniper, Orange, and Menthol bath oil can help you.  Juniper can help relieve the pain of menstrual cramps and ease the symptoms of PMS.





 So while you are soaking in the tub, if you mind is too busy thinking to really enjoy the tranquility, how about popping in a little music.  This CD designed for meditation is perfect.  It is calm guitar music that is far from elevator music.  Let me be honest and tell you that I stood in WalMart listening to the sample tracks and just loved ever second I heard.  In fact, I seriously am contemplating picking up a copy for myself at my next visit.



And then for that final bit of hope and positive thinking, how about a box of 3 First Response Early Pregnancy Tests?  In the days after that dreaded aunt leaves me, getting some tests can lift the haze of sadness.  Somehow just having a box of tests on hand reminds me that in a few more weeks I will be able to be positive and hopeful all over again!


Now this is a monthly gift anyone could look forward to!  Be sure to share this giveaway with your other TTC, infertility, and loss friends!  If we have a good turnout, the gifts could become bigger and better each month!
