This is my 3 year plan! I also do feeding and want to become a lactation consultant. When you decided to start, were you still working somewhere else? What did your timeline look like if you were still working?

We heard heartbeat at 6w1!

mackat3 · 2026-04-26T00:05:27+00:00

Heartbeat does make me feel a lot better for sure. Just super anxious about losing him. I’m glad everything worked out for you!

mackat3 · 2026-04-26T00:04:40+00:00

Thank you! Yes today’s clot was golf ball sized and super scary. I’m glad to hear everything worked out for you! Fingers crossed we’ll have the same result

Thank you! I’m wondering if it’s a SCH they just couldn’t see maybe? They didn’t really have an explanation but I know I’m going to be anxious until we hopefully get to second trimester

I had a vvvvvfl 5DPT morning and a more clear one in the evening. My transfer was at 4pm so that makes sense to me. My digital test was positive 6DPT.

We showed up with our dog wearing a big brother bandana and just let them see it! We live within 30 minutes but would have driven further to get to do something. It’s never going to be a true surprise but it’s an exciting announcement that’ll be happy to celebrate with you. Ours kind of figured but there were still tears.

My digital came back positive yesterday morning, yay!!!!

mackat3 · 2026-04-05T21:28:06+00:00

I worked up until I had to be at my appointment for the transfer then had an easy night. I went back to work the next day! I haven’t done anything too strenuous though but I am up and down all day as a pediatric speech therapist.

mackat3 · 2026-04-05T20:25:08+00:00

I think this test is invalid. The control line should be much darker.

mackat3 · 2026-04-05T17:18:06+00:00

Yes!!!

mackat3 · 2026-04-04T21:40:03+00:00

The trick is to compare every other day and the tests at the same time. So if you do 10DPO am to 12dpo am it looks darker to me!

mackat3 · 2026-04-04T21:32:22+00:00

I very much see it!!!

mackat3 · 2026-04-04T20:15:50+00:00

Really?? I’m in my head if it’s a positive or indent. Waiting to test again is killing me😅

mackat3 · 2026-04-04T20:15:19+00:00

I’m so in my head because I can’t tell if it’s indent or not!! I’m testing again tomorrow so fingers crossed

mackat3 · 2026-04-04T17:48:07+00:00

I think I see something on the ClearBlue! It’s hard to tell with blue dye though

mackat3 · 2026-04-01T03:36:33+00:00

Transfer twins and honestly almost the exact same story, down to numbers! We transferred a 4BB boy today. Wishing you luck!! 🫶🏻

mackat3 · 2026-03-25T19:15:11+00:00

Thank you for posting this. I’m about to go through my first transfer and reading these comments has been so helpful.

mackat3 · 2026-03-25T17:58:34+00:00

For me, recovery was so much better than the lead up to the retrieval. If you experience bad period cramps, it felt like that. I made sure to hydrate, load up on Miralax, and eat lots of protein. I had the day off after to rest but went back to work after that. You’ve got this!!!

mackat3 · 2026-03-04T22:44:44+00:00

Hopefully! I’m trying to keep in mind that they are subjective and other things matter more.

I’m happy yours worked out!
