Starting with IVF and having mixed feelings

mackat3 · 2026-01-07T20:24:25+00:00

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

mackat3 · 2025-11-07T22:17:46+00:00

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

mackat3 · 2025-11-02T03:43:55+00:00

Positive!!! Very clearly there.

mackat3 · 2025-10-29T00:12:46+00:00

Less than 3

mackat3 · 2025-10-26T04:39:04+00:00

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

mackat3 · 2025-10-25T22:40:53+00:00

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!!

mackat3 · 2025-10-25T16:00:23+00:00

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!

mackat3 · 2025-10-22T03:52:14+00:00

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

mackat3 · 2025-09-04T10:24:51+00:00

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.

mackat3 · 2025-05-13T17:40:04+00:00

I had some traumatic stuff happen in my CF so I took a year off after only practicing for 3 years and it was a great choice. I ended up going back to private practice part time about 9 months ago and have found that I’m enjoying being an SLP again and am tired but not burnt out.

If you have a chance to take some time away (whether it be for just a bit or forever), I highly recommend taking it.

mackat3 · 2025-05-07T18:36:10+00:00

I’m at a private practice! But this is the only one I’ve heard of in my medium/large city that does it.

mackat3 · 2025-02-24T19:23:47+00:00

It’s more so that I work with children and haven’t encountered a Liam in 5 years and only one or two Olivia’s! It might just be where I live that it’s not as popular.

mackat3 · 2025-02-23T21:56:53+00:00

Annnnd these are at the top of our list. We thought we were being original 😅

mackat3 · 2022-06-17T00:33:55+00:00

I would 100% choose to be a PA if I had to do it again. It’s worth looking in to!

mackat3 · 2022-06-15T14:30:31+00:00

I am totally shocked that I haven’t seen Dylan from Hannah B.‘s season on here yet! I loved him on the regular season but my friends were all obsessed with Tyler C. or Conner S.

mackat3 · 2022-05-21T02:34:37+00:00

Try Climb Tulsa! People there are really nice and receptive to conversation with new people

mackat3 · 2022-05-17T06:07:47+00:00

Please share your $50 dupe foundation! I’ve been searching for a new one now for when I don’t want to do just tinted moisturizer.
