I had some cramping and a teeny spotting on Saturday which would have been 8 days past the embryo transfer. Some say these symptoms come from the embryo implanting and others say it may be too late for that. I'm sticking with my embryos making their new home.
Since Saturday, I've been cramping a little more - on and off. It feels like I'm going to start my period but I don't. That can be a very good sign or it can also mean I'm getting ready to start my period any day. I'm sticking with not starting for at least 9 months. :)
So, bottom line, is *I still don't know*. Surprise! But, I'm a little inclined to believe these cramp feelings are a good thing.
Thank you for all the encouraging emails and calls. They have helped a lot during this long time of waiting and uncertainty. My sis-in-law Emily wrote me a particularly meaningful email that has stuck with me and helped me stay positive. She reminded me that:
- Miracles happen every day
- Nothing is over yet
- Literally, life was placed inside me and all life has the drive to live and thrive
- These babies want to be here as much as we want them here and they'll fight to stay!
One last thing...this is what we woke up to today. Beautiful! And it's still snowing lightly.



Tonight we're going to A Christmas Carol up in Salt Lake. I'm so excited! I hope the roads clear up!
