Oops!

I lost more weight than I wanted to since our first weigh-in at work for the Biggest Loser challenge. I'm down 6 lbs on the work scale from the 6th, but remember, the starting number was one I'd never admit to! I'm down 4.4 lbs on my home scale from that day, so I'll take that, but I should have padded my weight a bit this week at work because soon enough it is going to be hard to maintain or lose each week, and we have to put more money into the pot if we gain! On my home scale I still have 5-7 more to lose before I'm back at last year's fighting weight...but I'm not sure I can fight anyway, so maybe I'll just have to get good at looking good in a bikini instead. I'll be one of those girls.

Update: Results are in...I was the 4th biggest loser out of 37 people. This is probably the only week I will be anywhere near the top, but I will take it. 5 people gained weight. Hmmm....

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...
