Team W is Expanding!

I think Mike and Katie are both going to come watch IMFL now. I am very excited. It will be great to have their support, and it will also be great to give them a mini beach vacation in the process.

Adding them to the team of Mom, Dad, Jon, Mrs. Clark, and Dr. Doug and Linda just means the sea of pink will be bigger than ever!

Now, I just need some sleep and emotional and physical focus to bang out these last 2.5 weeks of major training before I taper. In these next 2.5 weeks I will need to swim 15,000-20,000 yds, bike close to 350 miles, and run somewhere around 75 miles. That is a lot...but my "Ironman audience" has increased exponentially since Kristi's death, and I do not want to let anyone down. Yikes! that is a scary thought. I just need to figure out a way to take off work entirely between now and November 7 because it is really getting in the way of training and sleeping!

There is no way you will ever let your fans, supporters, friends and family down! The fact that you are doing it is an inspiration to so many. But, I know how you feel. I'm always concerned about letting others down if I have a bad race. Its just plain silly! You have trained hard, you've been here before and you are motivated more than ever. And, I don't know squat about bikes, but I love love love the pink!!

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...
