Deliver Me

Don't watch it right before bed. It is a documentary type show on TLC about the maternity ward at a hospital. I had the worst nitemare ever that I was pregnant. It was also basically an overnight condition, as in I woke up very pregnant one day. I was trying to hide it from people and people found out that I didn't want knowing. I decided I was going to have to put the baby up for adoption, but wanted to take care of everything as fast as possible so most people would never have known I was pregnant. Apparently I was going to be able to have the baby the day or 2 after realizing I was pregnant. Also the hospital was kind of a pseudo hospital, restaurant, and bar. People were hanging out all over the place. Two or 3 girls I knew were in there having babies, but they were all happy about it because they did it the right way and were supposed to be pregnant. It was almost like an assembly line with babies popping out left and right!

So yes, very weird, but I learned a very valuable lesson: no more baby shows before bed.

Oh GADS!!!

That is my fear, waking up one day and being pregnant. Been there, done that, never again!

But I do love my little dude and would never send him back...

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!
