Three Days - Am I Ready?

The only question that has been asked more lately than "how is your ticker?" is "are you ready?"

Honestly, I have no idea. Honestly, I feel rather unprepared, but I think that may just be because the training did not seem too significant this time around, as I blogged about earlier. On paper, I have trained, and trained well.

For comparison, over the 22 week period leading up to CDA as compared to AZ, I have swam 36% more, biked 37% more, and ran exactly the same (that period leading up to IMAZ included Sunmart 50k and the Houston Marathon...both average miles per week busters!). That is quite a difference, and hopefully that difference will speak for itself come Sunday, but we shall see.

The forecast is getting colder and colder - exactly the opposite position we were in last year for IMAZ when the high temps just kept moving up and up and up. I think cold, or cool, will be a good thing, but I just hope it isn't too cold or wet. It will still be better than 97 degrees with 30 mph winds, so I guess I should not be complaining at all.

I just really have no idea what to expect with the hills. So far I am thinking they could possibly slowly suck the life out of me over 112 miles of biking. If they do not, I'll be good to go. I just really don't know what is going to happen. I know what I want to happen, but I also know my #1 goal is to have fun.

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...
