Its Show Time!! (well, er, dress rehersal time)

I'm getting up bright (well pitch black) and early in the morning to head down to Galveston for my first tri of the season. I will be doing the sprint distance tri at the Lonestar Triathlon Festival Saturday and the aquabike (swim 1.2 miles, bike 56, no run) on Sunday. I'm super excited and I think the change of scenery and pace are much needed.

Tons of Houston Racing and Ironman Arizona people are going to be racing over the weekend, so it should be a great time. The weather isn't exactly looking cooperative, but I can't change that.

Now I have to spend this evening getting all my gear together and "race ready." I have to decide which outfit to wear on which day. That is a REALLY tough decision to make!

It is hard to believe the biggest race of my season is only 2 weeks away, and only 2 weeks after my first race of the season!

Good luck to everyone else racing this weekend!!!

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...

We did it!
