Don't yell at me if you don't know what you are talking about!

I forgot to mention how mad I got on our ride Saturday morning when a guy who clearly didn't know his bike laws yelled at me.

This was a 2 lane highway with shoulders on either side. However, the shoulder surface was awful and not exactly rideable. So, I was riding as close to the right side of the driving lane as I could, which is perfectly legal. At times I was even on the white line, but not on the shoulder. A group of men came through and started yelling "passing on your RIGHT" (for those that don't know, it is just like driving, you are supposed to pass on the left). Then he continues to yell at me and say that I really need to get over so people aren't passing me on the right. Before I had time to tell him to know his bike laws, he was gone. Fine with me if he enjoyed riding in the gravel pit of a shoulder - it was all his. The funnier thing was the fastest riders were coming back on this same road by then, and you could assume they were perhaps some of the more experienced riders as well...not one of them rode on that shoulder - they all rode in the lane.

Sometimes, only an "f-you" really suffices.

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...
