I've got my game shirt (thanks Shellie!!) on today for my oh-so-exciting ingrown toenail surgery this afternoon. I'm not looking forward to it in the least, and have a feeling I might be a big sissy about it, but maybe wearing this shirt will at least make me look hardcore. I'll report back afterward on the procedure - I really have no idea what to expect other than how awesome needles in my big toes are going to feel. I also know I can't swim for 2-3 weeks, but do not know much other than that. I do know I need to do something to fix them though because I've had issues or 18 years, since I started doing pointe in ballet when I was 10. Lately they are worse and worse and socks hurt, shoes hurt, the sheets on my bed hurt, kicking in the pool hurts - you get the idea.

My friend got it for me at the Chicago Marathon expo - it is the "One More Mile" brand. It is dry fit, but still kind waffly like long underwear.

Ouch! I feel for you. I had 4 ingrown toenails removed from my big toes when I was 13 and heavily into ballet. Those needles they used for the local were the worst. I am sure that things have improved since 1983.

Love the shirt. I have one from "One More Mile" that says Marathon Ho. I have not had the guts to wear it at Memorial Park yet.

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...
