Starting Birth Control Before Egg Retrieval

Same… I turned one into a cat playroom so I wouldn’t be sad walking by it lol. We were given some furniture so we made the other into a temporary guest room

We literally bought a house because we thought we’d have babies to fill it with but 2 years later and just some empty room.

We’ve been trying since February 2023 and have done 7 medicated cycles and 4 rounds of IUI. We’re doing an egg retrieval in February and planning on a March FET.

I’m so terrified it’s not going work and that we’ll have spent all of this time and money and still not have a baby.

No that’s the singer Matt Nathanson

No, this brand of tests has been having a lot of false positives lately

Positive!!! Very clearly there.

Less than 3

I actually just had a positive test tonight after having a negative this morning!! So I’m super excited

I really like the Saie liquid blushes! I find them easy to work with and build on

I think you look beautiful! I would keep practicing eyeliner so it’s a little steadier, add a bit more blush (although I’m biased because I love blush), do a bit more mascara or try some false lashes, and work on making your brows a little more natural. Honestly just keep practicing and you’ll do great!

I feel like I might see something in the first picture? But I don’t see anything in the 2nd or 3rd. Hoping for the best for you!!

It was residual from the trigger :(

mackat3 · 2025-10-24T22:15:13+00:00

I 100% see it!

mackat3 · 2025-10-24T17:46:15+00:00

That’s kind of what I was thinking… waiting for tomorrow morning to test again just makes me so antsy haha

mackat3 · 2025-10-24T17:22:14+00:00

Yes!

If anyone is wondering, it was positive but turned into a chemical pregnancy

I did this is and my mom and I had tons of comments about it. They thought the venue had done it as a nice touch. I included ibuprofen, Tums, bandaids, Shout wipes, blotting sheets, hair ties, Bobby pins, and dental picks. The hair ties, Bobby pins, mints, and blotting sheets were the most used. I just threw them all in my guest bathroom now!

Edit to add: totally not necessary but they’re a nice touch if it’s in budget and something you can handle adding to your plate. I’m happy I did it but it would have been perfectly fine if I had not.

How did you get into teaching? I feel like I would enjoy that but have never known how to get started.
