Walking = booooooring!

So I've started back on my "road to recovery" (more like my "road to I don't know where, but hopefully it is at least pointed somewhere good") and have now done 2 whole walks - watch out!

I walked 3.5 miles Saturday morning and 3 miles last night, both at the 3 mile jogging path around Rice. Both beautiful weather days, and great to be outside again, but...

GEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is soooooooooo boring. It takes a looooong time to walk 3 miles! The whole time I'm telling myself "hello!! you'd get there faster if you were freakin' running!"

Once I get half way or so, I'm a bit better, but it doesn't help that half of the jogging trail runs along mile 9.5-11 or so of the Houston Marathon...one of my favorite parts of the marathon route. I start daydreaming and imagining my best friend and I chatting the miles away on a georgous January morning on our way to her first marathon finish.

Then reality snaps back in quite rudely reminding me that even if I am able to run the marathon I probably won't be able to do it anywhere near as fast as she does and that I wonder how I would feel doing it alone, and wonder how far behind I would be, or if I will even be able to toe the line that day.

The walks are probably bad right now because they allow me too much time to think. And all I can think about right now is how bad I want to be out there, with Kelly, come January 18.

I just found your blog...looked at some of your recent history re overtrianing. Hope you are feeling better now, and the amount of down time you are doing should be more than enough to recover. If it isn't go see a doctor.

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...
