Tejas Triathlon

I did a short sprint in Sugar Land on Sunday. It was a 600m open water swim, 9 mile bike, and 3 mile run. I finished in 1:09 and that was good for 7th out of 41 in my age group. I don't have lots to report, but do have some good pics.

Meg did this race too and brought 3 friends along who did their first triathlon. I love when new people are introduced to the sport! I think they are all hooked because we spent all of brunch talking about where their next race would be. Speaking of brunch...bottomless mimosas sound like a great idea until you go home and take a nap and wake up at 6pm feeling like complete poo!

My head and butt match!

I always look so great when I run...not! Michelle, Me, Cameron, and Shellie after the race

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...
