i'm drained emotionally paitiently waiting for the 13th and AF doesn't show up early like last time.

I had cramps from 3dpt to 6dpt. I'm 7dpt today and nothing just sore (.)(.) from the progesterone. My temp dropped this morning and that usually means AF will be here in 2 days.

I keep reading how people have had 4 cell and 5 cell embabies and it worked so I'm just praying it will be the case for me.

Well since it's twins at least now I don't have to grow a 3rd breast. I'll leave that feat to Ritu

I do not usually get cramps with my normal AF. I use to when I was young, but in the past 4-5 years nothing at all. So if AF is coming I usually will not have any telltale signs....good yet bad....
