Signs, Signs Everywhere Signs

As I sit here on the couch and try and analyze every little cramp, twinge, feeling, I desperately try and make the thoughts disappear from my mind. I know by now some women are already feeling pregnancy symptoms a few days before a pregnancy test. So before you might want to ask me if I feel anything I thought I would share with you the side effects of the medicine I am on. They mimic pregnancy. That’s why IVF women take them. We are trying to trick our bodies into thinking we did this naturally so it does not reject the embryos. I have copied and pasted the possible side effects below.
Also, if I took a home pregnancy test at this point there is a chance it would accurately give us our results. Karlis and I have talked about this and we are not going to do it. We will just wait and hear it from our IV nurse. If we got a positive we wouldn’t believe it and if we got a negative we would convince ourselves that the test was faulty. It’s just not worth the extra mental torment.
