Decent Run

I ran 15.25 miles this morning as part of my "down week" and it went pretty well. I averaged 10:20 min/mile overall and I'll certainly take that at this point in my training. My body is broken down and exhausted and I'm still sorting out all the asthma and allergy stuff. Today was a bit rough though because I went to see Counting Crows and Maroon 5 with some girlfriends in the Woodlands last night and didn't get home until 12:30 or so. My 4:20am alarm was quite the wake up call. Actually I popped out of bed just fine after 3 whole hours of sleep because it was more of a nap than anything else. I did feel pretty shot the rest of the day though, and had 2 unsuccessful attempts at taking a nap.

My sister's family just came in for Kate and Molly to do the Stephanie Johnson Tri in the morning. It will be Molly's 3rd and Kate's first. Kate once again proved to be correctly named in that she has not been on a bike in about a year (following her aunt's training plan for some races). So we headed to Memorial Park this afternoon and put the training wheels back on her bike and she rode a whopping 1.1 miles and was ready to race (maybe....).

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...
