Hi all!

Iwant4kids I'm not sure I posted about your awesome news and if not a belated 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 woohoo is in order!!

I'm posting to tell you all about a horrible dream I had last night. Woke up feeling sick to my stomach and decided to Google about it tonight because it was bothering me so much!!

I dreamt a friends son died. He fell into the water (heaps of massive rocks around), they were on a school excursion or something and when someone asked where *insert boys name here* was the other kids said he fell through there *indicating water* I jumped straight in and the water was so cold I couldn't hold my breathe but could see him floating in the water (obviously deceased) about 20 metres away. I knew I couldn't swim to him, I could barely move enough to get back to air and I knew my own son had just watched me jump in. It was so so horrible and has bugged me all day BUT after reading through a whole crap load of dream interpretations it makes so much darn sense!!!! Just wish my mind didn't have to be so graphic and awful in conveying how it feels which is the following pic that I thought vest described it. So yes I do believe my mind has accepted this baby number 3 dream is over and that I was coming to some kind of peace with my 3 angel babies (or pregnancies, but I don't care if people don't think early miscarriages or even chemicals count, they are all babies to me ) So here is the explanation I liked best I'm just sharing this in case anyone has an awful dream and thinks doom and gloom (like I did &#128514Screenshot_2017-04-14-19-56-48.jpg

Broken attachment showing, trying again

hmmm, online dream reading isn't very reliable. Although I certainly believe there's meaning to some dreams (not all), I also believe that it takes a qualified person who isn't biased or trying to make a buck to interpret the dream because oftentimes we interpret dreams the way our ego wants to see them, most dreams are from the self.

Your dream could mean a number of things. Taking an adult approach to things doesn't necessarily mean giving up on a dream or convincing yourself you don't want it. Acceptance should never mean giving up, acceptance means to embrace what is and to stop resisting what is happening. For example, let's take an obese girl who has always struggled with her weight. At some point she will be told to just accept herself as she is and embrace her body (implying she should give it up). YES, she should accept herself and embrace her journey, but that does not means she gives up on losing weight. It means she accepts herself as she is today and moves forward with her goals, however long they may take, without resisting or battling. I hope that makes sense.

In your case (assuming the online meaning you found has some validity), I'd be inclined to think it means that if you still have a smidgen of want for another child, just do what people have done all throughout history. Have sex and enjoy it. If fruit comes from it, fine, if not, at least you enjoyed the connection to your spouse No temps, no meds, no opk's. That, to me is taking an adult approach. Not forcing an issue and just letting thins run their course naturally.

Just my take on it hun I enjoy this kind of conversation lol.

That's awesome cosmo 😀 and thank you for your interpretation! I'm so annoyed and upset it 'had' to be a child in my dream but I guess it made it unforgettable too 😕

[Pbn3]

Oh and me too as in enjoying 'these' types of conversations 😉

Good morning ladies!

Pbn, so sorry about those dreams. I've had similar before and I know how disturbing they can be! I do like cosmos's take on it...

AF started late last evening. Extremely painful and strong this time, wondering if I had a chemical given the faint line on the IC? Anyway, going in for blood work on Monday to the OB and we'll see what happens this cycle. Spoke with DH about trying again this time and while he's not thrilled, he also didn't oppose.

[Burakoam]

I am glad that he is letting you seemingly make this choice maxim even if he is not entirely on board. DH was not entirely for a 4th baby either but there is no denying how much he loves her now. He thought because i needed clomid to have DD3 that it would take a long time (years) or never happen at all if he gave in and had unprotected sex whenever i wanted...and then i was pregnant LOL (thanks HE!!)

[maximbella]

Ahhhh, hitting another obstacle today. Called to confirm my blood work for Monday and their office will be closed for a holiday. I leave for our april vacation with my girls on Tuesday and won't be back until the following Monday, which means that I also miss my day 3-10 window for my saline sonogram. Unbelievable...

I've hit A LOT of obstacles in trying these past months (first cycle was anovulatory, delayed O timing, husband travels a lot so when I actually do O, our cutoffs have been long, etc.). I'm starting to wonder if these are signs that it just wasn't meant to be!

[maximbella]

Thanks, Burakoam! Did clomid work the first cycle for you? Doesn't look like I'll be able to get it this cycle either, sucks!

[Shannshaff]

((HUGS)) Max. That is a pain. praying that you just relax this cycle and have fun with DH whenever you can. Don't worry about TTC and just enjoy each other. And hopefully you can go from there.
BTW - what holiday is Monday???

Pbn3 - you have me sitting at my desk crying. Good thing I work all alone on Fridays. What a horrible dream. Even if it means something else, that is NOT nice. I hate those dreams. When I was pg with DS3, I would dream about 1-2 times a week about him dying in various ways (mostly drowning) as a toddler. ((HUGS)) I hope that the meaning you get out of it is what you were trying to work through. Dreams are weird sometimes, but our whole body is crazy in how it works.

My take on the dream is you realizing that the dream of another child has affected your relationship with your son and that you are ready to accept what life has given you and spend time with your children. It does not mean letting go of the dream, but not chasing it so hard that you forget about everyone else. Just my take on it!
