Saturday Update

Just a quick update from AZ - I arrived here yesterday morning after Natalie dropped me off at the airport (THANKS NATALIE!!!). Yesterday was VERY busy. I didn't sit down in my hotel room more than 30 seconds at a time until 9pm. The good news is I think all the pre-planning and list making I have done will make for a more stress-free day today and tomorrow.

My family got here Thursday night and spent the day in Sedona yesterday. Apparently they have plans to go back soon for a real vacation there. My sister arrives in a few hours.

The group is about to head out to do the Gatorade practice swim in the 64!!! degree water. I think it is going to be cold!!

The weather forecasts are all finally agreeing on about 95 as the high tomorrow. That isn't great news. But the good news is they are also all beginning to agree on wind speed and direction. It looks like the top winds will be around 11am which is unusual, and they are all still forecast to be at or below 10mph from the E or ENE. That means we will have a headwind on the outbound portion of the course and a tail wind coming back into town. We go out and back 3 times, so that is good news we get to fly back into town (it is also slightly downhill on the way back).

My sister will have my cell phone tomorrow so anyone can call or text to check in with her to see how things are going. Don't forget you can also track and watch live via www.ironman.com.

Your prayers and thoughts are greatly appreciated over the next ~40 hours, as is your tremendous support thus far in my journey!

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...
