A Taste of My Own Medicine

Gees. I guess I know what it feels like now to be pressured into something you had absolutely no intention of doing. I may be doing a half ironman in the California Wine Country on August 2 now. Do I have any business doing this? No. Am I going to be talked into it?


Maybe.



Probably.



At least it is sweet medicine.

Hiya! Can't speak about the race, but after IMAZ '08, went to my brother-in-law's wedding @ Bohemian Grove and did an 11 mile run near Guerneville. Very nice place but was suprised there was actually enough water to do the swim in the river!

Vineman is a beautiful race but they LIE on the race course description. "Gentle rolling hills and a predominantly flat run" ......my ass!

Do some rides out at Chappell Hill and Belville/Cat Springs as well as Montgomery to prepare for the bike. Also, you need to get some hills in on your run training if you decide to do this one.

Temps start out in the high 50's to low 60's but warm up to the upper 80's.

Feel free to pick my brain on this race if you need to. They do transition a little differently than other races.

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...
