Quit being mean to me!

So I have mentioned this in previous post, but here is a good laugh for everyone.
To catch others up: CJ and I decided to sell our couches on Craigslist for $2000.  We got 2 people interested within 24 hours, the first said he would take them and send a check in the mail and set up for pick up.  We were so excited, but in the back of my mind I kept a little reservation on the dealings.  So we waited and emailed back in forth with the guy about getting the check to us and two weeks later I did receive checks.  Yup I said it CHECKS.

Two, in separate envelopes, same amount, same date on the check, same check number in the amount of $4200.  I promptly was worried. The checks were from a legitimate company out of California, Bank info out of Washington State, and post marked through Denver, CO.

The guy said the extra money was for me to give to the moving company and he sent two checks because he was not sure the first would make it. Well like I said already Checks had the same date on them and the envelope was dated the same day as well.

I took the checks in to Bank of America since that was the info on the check, the clerk immediately had to call over a manager.  So the bank took all the info I had and said to talk to the police department.  Police department could not do anything because I still had the money in my bank and the couches were still in my possession.

I promptly emailed the guy and told him the bank told me the checks were fake and he was not to contact me again.  I then made sure his emails went into my trash and skipped the inbox.
I thought that was it until today when I received an overnight FedEx envelope with a check for $6400.  AHHHHHH what in the world. This time he had an address in California, but the check company was in D.C. area and the bank out of Maryland.  I looked in my trash fold and there it was and email from him saying he was sending another check.  I could not believe it.  I emailed him again to not contact me and I got this email instead
im michell niyas by name, from New York  i am a civil engineer and i
have been into that for about 25 years now, i will love to know more
about you if you dont mind, I will be very pleased to read from you
soon, take good care of yourself, You made my day.


What in the world, and I looked again and some how my email about not contacting me is gone.  CJ and I can not find it.  So I emailed him AGAIN that I would contact the police if he kept harassing me.  He promptly emailed me that he would do it first if I did not give the money to his shipping company.  And AGAIN my email disappeared!  I changed all my passwords now, I am so freaked out!


CJ and I decided to ignore, if he sends the cops well o-well, I have all the proof that it is a fraud. I kept everything and printed out all the emails.  I am just a little nervous cause he does have my address, but I am hoping it is just him trying to bully us into giving him the money.

That is that...

I don't want my blog to turn in to a fertility blog, that was not what I had in mind.  I just want family and friends to be able to keep up with out sending emails and texts. So here is an update:
I went in to the doctor after three weeks into my cycle.  I have been on Follistim for that amount of time and well nothing was happening.  My ovaries were recruiting more follicles, but not growing to a size that would produce good eggs.  So After spending $600 on the only drug I have to pay for during this whole thing we are pulling this cycle, which means I am off all drugs and we will not be doing an IUI.  DR has put me on birth control for one cycle to keep my levels stable for the following cycle.  Then we will start in on follistim for the following one.

Ok on to something else.  CJ is going on to week six of Prototype and found ot he is on Crew C, they have 5 groups that rotate through a schedule:  Days: 7:30am-7:30pm; T-Week: 7am-7pm (work 4 days, off 3); Mids: 7:30pm-7:30am; Swings: 11:30am-11:30pm.  CJ will start on Mids, that is right all night.  I think I can handle it for a little, CJ used to work nights and the dogs are pretty comfy to cuddle up to.  He is doing so well and is really enjoying being able to make his own schedule and work at his own pace.  He on the other hand can't wait to start shift work.

This week I got a little bit of a wake up call on how bad people make their way into our lives. I am not a naive person, but this showed me I need to be more guarded.  CJ and I put our couches up for sale on Craigs list and with in hours we had a buyer.  everything sounded ok, he did seem a little pushy about immediately cashing the check and letting him know so his shipping company could come get the couches.  I had a inkling that this was not a good transaction, but I went a long any ways.  We had agreed on one price, but we received a check for double, red flag number 2.  I immediately took it a friend who once was a teller and she told me take it to a bank.  Well Bank of America was on the check so I took it to them.  I asked the teller to check it and make sure it was even real, I was not surprised when she had to call a manager over to read the screen and tell me it was a fake and I should not do anything else with it.  The bank took copies and the information I had.  I then headed to the police station.  They asked if I wanted to press charges and then while speaking to a detective he said no crime has actually happened, I wasn't out the money from cashing a bad check and I still had my couches. So I headed home and wrote a short email which stated the Bank knew it was fake and he was to not contact me ever.  Guess what nothing back!
Lesson: Cash only Local only!

Oh infertility...

O well April has come and gone and so did this cycle.  IUI #2 did not work.  We were very hopeful, we took Follistim for about 4 days and had about 2 Follicles that looked promising, but no such luck.
 On to IUI #3, this month is a little different than last, it is taking more Follistim to get my Follicles to grow, so the cycle is a little lengthy.  I have had my blood drawn a little to much this time, I am not being a very good girl about drinking my water and got into some trouble about my veins not being up to par, but it has to be done.
SO here is hoping to "third times a charm!"
