Ugh...no 3 in 3 for me

Heading into Saturday morning I was expecting to come write a post about how I got 3 PR's in 3 weeks. Well, 2 in 2 weeks is going to have to be good enough. I ran the Rodeo Run 10k and had high hopes heading into it. I wasn't expecting 75 degree temps and that familiar Houston humidity at the 9:45 am start though. My previous 10k PR is 54:37 from a flat course in Beaumont on a 42 degree morning. I ran 55:05 yesterday, but it was absolutely the best I could do, so I am not upset. I'm proud of myself for even doing that well. Thank goodness I ran into Augie at the start and we hung off each other's shoulders until about 4.5 miles in when we both said "screw it" and slowed down a bit and talked each other to the finish. I began the day meeting Shellie at her apartment and we ran the 2 miles from there to the race start. As we headed out, we ran over a bridge over the trail riders heading downtown which was pretty cool. After the race we ran more miles, totaling 12 for the day, so not too bad. We had to cut through the parade and make sure we didn't get run over by a horse and spent a good deal of the way back dodging horse poop!

The great news is that my buthigh did not bother me at all on the run, meaning it definitely is a bike issue only, as I suspected. (well, I guess that is good news...at least it isn't running and biking that cause problems)

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...
