2WW has officially become a 1WW

The weeks go by whether you're having fun or not, so might as well have the most fun possible I suppose. Part of what has been really fun for me is obsessing on TTC message boards about possible "symptoms" during the 2ww, of which I have none. Well, I have had a slight tightness on the left side of my belly which, could very well be gas because I also have gas, which I have not found in my research to be a pregnancy symptom. I have been having some vivid dreams though, the last one being about running up a jungle gym with no pants on trying to hit bad guys with various stuffed animals from my childhood. Oh, and I did have another dream the other night that I was pregnant but it was with my sister's egg and our friend's sperm and everyone was crying and upset that it worked because our friend regretted giving us sperm and Noah and I were like, "why did we do that?"...it was a hot mess. Really strange and I woke up with a weird feeling.

This morning Noah woke up chipper and said he had a "good dream." He has a less insane psyche than I do so I was glad to hear his dream involved a glimpse of a possible future that was positive, but he won't let me share it because he's become a little superstitious. Good dreams are better than bad dreams. That's all I'll say.

I knew a gal who went through IVF and it didn't work out the first round. She did it again and PGD tested the embryos and in the end had two normal embryos, a boy and a girl. By transfer day she and her husband were told that only the girl was developing and the boy embryo had arrested, or whatever they call it when it seems to stop developing. The night before the transfer her husband had a dream that they had a son, and when they went in for transfer he insisted the doctor put both embryos in. Hesitantly, the doctor did, and they got pregnant and now have a beautiful, brilliant, healthy boy. 

I don't know what my point here is really other than I'm going to try and clear up my unconscious mind as much as possible, and keep dreaming. Wishing that everyones dreams come true, unless you're chasing bad guys with no pants and a bag of decrepit stuffed animals.

Thanks Samantha...I feel like this 2WW has been two weeks longer than any other for some reason. I feel like I have way too much time to wonder and obsess! But I will know one way or another this time next week! And thank you so much for all your well wishes!

YAY for being half way through!!! My Dr reminded me that most pregnancies, there are no symptoms this early on. I know not very helpful considering that IVF pregnancies are not "most" pregnancies where babies just happen. I think she was just trying to reassure me that things can most definitely be happening without our knowledge. This time next week I bet you will know, and I am hoping for ya girl!! Whatever higher powers you believe in, positive thoughts and all good stuff! Try to relax as much as possible, hopefully in 9 months you won't be having the opportunity to dream because you will be completely sleep deprived!!! (something tells me you won't mind one single bit!!)
