Parking Garages are for Cars, you Silly Runners!

Is what I am sure the early morning Pre-Cash employees are thinking on Thursday mornings now at 5:45am when a few of us run up and down their 12 story parking garage over and over. It is 1/2 mile up and 1/2 mile down and we run it 3-4 times per workout. Sadly, that is the closest thing to a hill we have in these parts. The St. George Marathon is downhill for about 22 miles and uphill for about 4 miles. Those 4 miles happen from mile 7-11. The climb at mile 7 alone is nearly 350 feet. It is going to kill us! I guess we are doing our best though to train for it. The other issue is the 22 miles of downhill. Sounds awesome for speed, and it is, along as your quads don't turn to pure much way before they are allowed to. Anyone know of a 22 mile downhill I can use for my last super long run? ....didn't think so.

Here is a good pic of the St. George elevation:

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...
