I has the weirdest dream this morning. I dreamed that I had pee'd and something dropped out of me. I looked at it and realized it was an 'yolk sac'. I looked closer and inside was the most beautiful baby boy with blondish hair and blue eyes. I called my husband over and was telling him to look at the baby inside and to hurry and take his picture before he dies.

The dream disturbed me somewhat and I was a little sad when I woke up. I told Mike about it and told him that I was glad the baby had not died before I woke up, because that would have been really sad, then I actually started crying about it.

I've been dreaming a lot of weird dreams over the last few weeks. This is the second baby related dream I've had within three weeks. Three weeks ago I dreamed I was inside my body and I saw three embryos forming and they were triplets: two boys and one girl.

I'm two days late today, so I purchased a home PT, but it came out negative. Oh well, just have to keep on practicing.

Technically my period is one day late. UNLESS I count the abnormal bleeding I experienced on November 29 as a period, then I may not have another one for two more weeks. This is crazy and I don't know what to think. I don't want to jump the gun and do another pregnancy test and look like a fool. Then again....maybe I will do one on the weekend if I haven't started by then. If it's negative, then I'll leave it alone and see what happens in the coming weeks. My BB's are starting to get sore, so that could be an indication that my period will be along in another week.

Okay, this is really crazy. Last night (Dec. 3) I'm having CM indicating possible ovulation.

Today, I went to the store and bought an EPT. I used it when I got home and I got a negative reading. I guess we'll have to keep practicing. This afternoon, I'm also experiencing the slight pressure in my lower left abdomen again. I have had a very dull backache for the last week. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I don't have a UTI or bladder infection. That still would not explain the abnormal bleeding I had last week though.

I took an online pregnancy test today too (just for kicks) and it said I only have a 15% chance of being pregnant, however, it's still too soon to tell and if I WERE pregnant, I would be 2 weeks along right now.

My period started on November 17 and lasted the normal three days. It seems that the last two to three months, my CM began showing at about 6 days after my period starts. After my November period, I didn't experience any CM at the normal time, however, on Tuesday morning, November 29, 2005 I went to the bathroom and began bleeding as though I was having another period. It was bright red and scared the crap out me since this sort of thing has never happened to me before. My periods are always right on schedule each month. Other than the bleeding, I felt fine. I went to bed that night and woke up around 2am and had a hard time getting back to sleep because I felt a slight pressure in my lower left abdomen and my left leg felt "heavy". On Wednesday I called the doctor and the nurse told me that 'breakthrough bleeding' is very common and nothing to worry about. I insisted on making an appointment to see the doctor anyway. The bleeding lasted until Thursday night (Dec.1).

My doctor appointment was schedule for Friday, Dec. 2, 2005. The doctor examined me and said everything appeared to be normal. He explained that the bleeding could have been a one time occurrence due to stress or hormone changes OR....I could have ovulated last week and I could be pregnant and was experiencing 'implantation bleeding'. He said we won't know whether I'm pregnant or not until I miss my next period and take a pregnancy test.

I'm not going to get my hopes up because I don't want to be disappointed, BUT....this would be the best Christmas present I could get this year!!

I just remembered a dream I had last week. I was inside my body and I saw these THREE rounds things and they were transparent but I could see the inside workings going on. A voice somewhere told me that they were eggs and they would be forming into embryos soon and would be fraternal triplets. Then it's like I was no longer inside my body, but was outside again but as a spectator looking at myself through anothers eyes. Three babies were born, I also saw them as toddlers and then as teenagers. Three of them....2 boys and 1 girl.

Uh oh....I wonder if this means something??

Also, I seem to have lost my appetite since last week, as a result I've lost a couple of pounds too. That's a good thing and I'm not complaining.
