Update

I just found out that Stephanie passed away at 11:05 this morning. Greg says he feels she sent him to work today so he wouldn't have been there at the very end. Please continue to keep their family in your prayers. They have a very tough road ahead, but Stephanie's daughter mentioned that mom was in a better place now so everyone should be happy. Please pray for that thought to remain with the family, always.

It has been heart breaking to follow her husband report her decline. But thank you for steering me to Carepages. Greg has been handling things in the bravest way. It's good that she could go comfortably and with people around her, but still so sad.

Thank you for that update. I had not talked to Greg in a while and was wondering why I had not heard from him to help out again this year at the Kids Tri.

I will drop him a message. Stephanie was so brave for her family and I know that they are very sad to have lost her but at the same time relieved that she is out of pain. The Stephanie Johnson Memorial Triathlon should be a very special event this year.

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!
