If it's not spandex or carbon...

apparently I don't see the need for it.

I was just sitting at Mister Car Wash waiting for my oil to get changed and look down at my jeans...the bottoms of them are torn to pieces. These are what I would call my "nice jeans." Sad. They are also pretty much my only pair of jeans. Sad. I have one other pair I'd wear but a button broke on them about 6 months ago and I have yet to get them fixed. I bought that pair probably 6 years ago and bought the pair I have on today 5 years ago. Seriously.

I also hate shopping for jeans so that probably does not help much, and I have no desire to spend the $160 or whatever it was on this pair again. I guess you could say I've gotten my money's worth out of them, and the lovely built-in-stretch has been with me through fat and skinny, but still. I want to walk into a store, try on three pairs, find ones I like, and walk out for $50-$60, but I know that is not going to happen so I do not bother.

Spandex or carbon fiber on the other hand...

I found good cheap jeans at Marshall's. And if I was not such a dork and rolled up my jeans, my cuffs would look like yours as well.

Am I bad for still having 2 pairs of jeans that my mom bought me back in 1987? They still fit. Levi's never go out of style, right?

I was thinking the exact same thing this weekend. With the exception of a few items from Target and books, I haven't bought anything non-tri related in who knows how long. (Probably TMI, but)... the only way I got new undies this weekend is my mother was shopping with me and was buying. God forbid I spend money on real clothes when I need to go to TOTR to buy the x-lab thing and water cages for my bike. And of course, I have no problems spending $100 on that!

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...
