Pseudo Century

Today I did a super brick...
1. Fix flat tire (took 23 minutes...I was not happy...before 6am)
2. Ride trainer
3. Drive to Pearland
4. Bike 64 miles
5. Run 3 miles
6. Eat greasy lunch
7. Drive back to Houston
8. Ride trainer again, this time with new wireless earphones, and watch High School Musical
9. Piddle around
10.Eat way too big dinner

Not the most conventional way to get to my first century ride of the season, but it works. It did take course over the span of 10 hours, so I'll call it 10mph average. Actually, I averaged 17.0 mph for the outside part of the ride (64 miles) which was pretty cool. Speaking of outside, it was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day. Soooo much better than this ride last year when it was cold and raining. The roads got rough towards the end and the wind picked up a little bit, but I was still totally content because the sun was out and the temp was about perfect. I also felt great on our run after the ride, so that is always good too. We all went to lunch afterwards which was super fun. I'm really enjoying the "team" aspect I have this year to train as opposed to last year. I'm not sure chicken fingers and fries are exactly the same as Infinit for fueling "during" a workout, but I didn't seem to have a problem hoping back on my bike when I got back home.

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....

Into the Donor Egg World We Go

As I sit down to write this, I'm shocked to see February 27, 2022 was the last post I've written about our IVF journey.  In some ways, it seems like so much has happened over the last year, and on the other hand it seems like nothing has happened at all because we are back to square one. I'll provide a quick summary of the last year, but please understand this won't even begin to describe the true roller coaster ride we have been on.  I actually don't think it is even appropriate to call it a roller coaster because that indicates there are some ups.  Our ride has been more like a train ride through hell. After our failed transfer in February, we decided to take a break in March to let my body rest a bit before transferring our next embryo.  During that time, a friend reached out and told me about her friend that hadn't had success here but did at CCRM in Colorado.  At the time it almost felt like a divine intervention, but I now know better.  We spent seven...
