Apparently I Actually Won Something

One day last week I came home to find a package hanging on my door. I got inside and opened it up to find it was a women's Timex Ironman watch from TriBike Transport. There was no letter or anything else in there though, so I had no idea why I had received it. I had forgotten about it until today and I finally emailed them to find out what it was all about, and apparently I won it in their 2008 early registration drawing. I think the grand prize was for a bike or something, and I certainly didn't get that, but I still got a watch. Kind of neat! (Sadly I don't need another watch right now, but I am sure I can find someone who does).

In other news, I'm exhausted! We got up at 4:30 to discuss whether or not our 5:15am run was going to happen due to the rain and we ended up going. I'm glad we did because it is pouring now and I don't want to leave my apartment tonight, but I still struggled big time on the run. My heart rate was hanging out around 180 and we were just on a slow 6 mile jog. Fun times. Tomorrow is a much-needed rest day. Hopefully it will provide some relief for my legs before my 18 mile run on Saturday. My legs aren't so much liking me these days and I'm about to hate them back if they don't start working like they should...my lungs/heart too for that matter!

Greenway, all afternoon - streets are completely flooded and it took me 10 minutes to go the .5 miles from my work parking spot to my home parking spot!

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...
