Trials

Lots of posts today...

In regards to my previous two posts about "life", I forgot to add that one of my favorite songs (Trials, by Jackopierce) sums it all up pretty well:

All the lessons I’ve learned
All the money I’ve burned
All the things that I thought were but they weren’t
All were trials that added up to her

All these lovers making compromise
Trying to make sacrifice for love
Hoping things will only get better but they don’t
Only posed to see them fall

I know
I’ve seen it before
I do believe that failed relationships, broken hearts, and just dumb mistakes are all trials that lead you to the perfect solution. You just have to have the patience to ride through them and the clarity to see them as what they are: trials. If you don't see them as trials and try to force something that isn't, you may end up falling. I am so thankful that I have yet to fall, and I hope I never do.
The last line of the song is "What I do not deserve I do not deny." I'm still not 100% sure how I read that line and what it means to me, but I know I like it.

Hey KCW,

Since you're a John Mayer fan maybe you should read these lyrics to. I believe them in your case.

I'm a lazy lover
Undercover
Wasting time
Then one day in summer
I changed my number
To cut my line

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be okay
Good love is on the way

3 years broken hearted
But now her ghost is finally gone
Done with broken people
This is me
I'm working on (all i know)

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know' I'll be okay
Good love is on the way

Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and I’m
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them anymore

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way
I've been lonely, lonely but i know
Good love is on the way
Good love is on the way, on the way, on the way

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...
