St. George, Here We Come!

I forgot to post that in the midst of all the craziness of the weekend, I found out that I got into the St. George Marathon! Entry is via lottery and I hate lotteries. I think people who are on top of things and register early should be rewarded, not people whose names are drawn out of a hat! I'm never lucky. But, apparently my luck may be changing. Not only did I get in, but 10 others in my group did too. You had the option to enter the lottery as an individual or as a group of up to 5 people (when entering as a group, the whole group either gets in or they don't, and if your group does not get in, you cannot get in as an individual). Well, we originally had 8 people who wanted to enter. After some debate, we decided to enter as two groups of 4 (eventually 5 each), divided basically among the slow people and the fast people. We also had 1-2 more people enter individually and they got in as well.

The race is October 4th, so that means another summer of brutal long runs at 4:30am, but I'm looking forward to it.

Ya know, I'm no coach, but it would seem a little difficult to periodize training and peak for races . . . IF YOU'RE CONSTANTLY RACING!!!

Gluttony. For punishment. You got that sin down.

Get ready for PR #15!

26.2 miles down hill at a 2,565-foot decline. What a great opportunity to order another dessert.

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...
