Lots of posts today...sorry

One more thing I forgot. In the blogging world we have something called "comment love." When someone leaves someone else a comment on their blog, they are giving them comment love. You don't have to be any sort of member or have an account to give me some comment love. So, if you've been reading my blog and have something nice to say, give me some comment love so I know you are reading. I keep hearing of people here and there reading it, but I really have no idea who all out there in cyber space is following my journey. Just click "comments" and it will let you comment away!

Prayers and well wishes are much appreciated for tomorrow!

OK, I admit, I usually just lurk, but with that request, I had to comment. I am in HRTC so read the posts often, but live in League City and have 2 young kids so am too far away to participate in training and activities with the club. You are awesome! I actually cried when I was reading your posts because it was so, I don't know what. I was watching for Todd O'Neal on Sunday on the computer. He is the pres. of our new tri group in Clear Lake called Bay Area Multisport. I was so focused on it the whole day and it was the first time I thought I may want to try a full Ironman. But your blog was so great. Maybe I am crying because I realize I may be one of those crazy people out there one day soon!

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!
