Show Time!!


Finally!

It has been 8 long months since I have raced a triathlon. That may not seem like long to some people, but usually I race well into October and last year my last tri was August 2. I didn't really know at the time it would be my last for the year, but it ended up that way.

I'm doing the quarter ironman at Lonestar in Galveston on Sunday. Jon is doing the sprint tomorrow, so I'm heading down tonight. I'm very excited. I don't expect to race well, and this is my first olympic/quarter distance race, but it should still be a fun weekend.
They have done all hi-tech and you can watch the race live online now too.
I will know literally dozens of people out racing, and seeing familiar faces out on the course is one of my favorite things about local races. There will also be many coming in from out of town that I know to do the race too - whohoo!!

How did you do? I was out on the half bike course most of the day keeping tabs on the TNT people so I did not see any of the action back at Moody Gardens.

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...
