Not Much Progress

Well, I don't feel like I'm really making any progress as far as recovery goes, but then again I guess it is hard to know one way or the other. My resting HR was down to 53 Saturday morning, but back up to 61 this week. I think this weekend took everything out of me, which is sad. I was sick on Monday and stayed in bed most of the day. I didn't get a lot of sleep Fri, Sat, or Sun, and by Monday, I was done. I feel like some feeble old lady who can't handle the slightest change or I will go down. I have also started to gain weight. Not cool.

I was planning to start walking and doing light weights this week, but I feel no where near back in the game yet, so I will put it off a few more days. I think I may go on a walk Saturday morning though, just to test the waters and get out to do something. I have my VO2 Max testing on Thursday. That will be very interesting. I may die considering I've done nothing for what seems like forever now.

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, hoping I have some time to really rest then, but then again I'm staying in San Antonio and Waco, both of which will be total zoos, so I may be a bit too hopeful with the idea of getting rest there.

Dang, bummer that you're feeling kida puny. I sure hope it passes quick. Eat well and try to rest. Don't fret, you'll come back stronger.

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...
