Ahhhhhhhh..............

What a difference a crappy night's sleep and a 6 mile parking garage run at 5:30am can make. Actually, I think it is the fact that this morning we had our first minute hint of fall this morning. As in the temp was 77 and the humidity was at 70% instead of 90%. It is amazing how much even that small difference in humidity can make. Last week it was absolutely disgusting in the parking garage with still, humid air. Today there was actually a breeze coming through the garage from the West and it was refreshing. So here's to hoping there is a bit more of that to come between now and St. George. I really need a few good runs as my confidence is non-existent right now.

Note to self: don't take new asthma medicine before trying to pluck eyebrows. Your hands shake too much and you may lose an eye instead of a few eyebrows.

It sounds like you got exactly the run you needed and deserved this morning. Hang in there! I'm impressed with everything you've got going on that you're still dragging yourself out of bed to train. That's tough!

Stephanie says you are in Austin this weekend...email me your route and ETA...maybe I can join you for part. Hang in there with the allergies. I take all those asthma meds too, and learned long ago not to pluck my eyebrows if I took my inhaler. I never could take it before work when I worked on the hospital floor, because then I couldn't start IVs!

ROTFL! My asthma meds do the same thing to me as well. I look like I am all cranked up on Coke, chocolate covered espresso beans, and adrenalin.

Oh thank goodness for a nice run to get a good day started.
Now be careful or someone could loose and eye.
Be well.

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...
