Yellow Starburst

I feel a bit like yellow starburst right now. The new chapter in my life has already been presented with some challenges and it is only 48 hours old! I guess I need to remember "life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." My feelings get hurt pretty easily when people don't return phone calls and text messages. If it is just one, I am usually ok, but when it is multiple people in the same day it is kind of easy to start feeling like a yellow starburst. Hopefully tomorrow I will start feeling more like a pink or red starburst.

Think you might just still be experiencing post IM blues. Relax for two weeks and then see how you feel.

Such negativity!?! I stumbled across your blog as a fellow endurance (well for me seriously amateur) endurance athlete in Texas while you were going through your pre-IMAZ taper phase. I found it a fun read (for me - probably not for you) to read about someone else experiencing the same feelings as I often do pre-race. Anyway, I disagree. I always say run faster and longer to blow off the excess steam and stress. Besides we always feel better after a good hard workout.(Sorry, there is no way I am sitting on a bike seat for 112 miles and then running 26 - I just stick to running - biking or swimming, it's all you.)

If it makes you feel better girl, I know of someone who would like to talk to the yellow starburst and is kinda shy and thought that you would not talk to them. They tried at CB&I but you did not look at them when they talked to Michelle.

Smile!

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...
