I Need Your Help - PLEASE!!! - UPDATE

UPDATE - we have also decided to raise some money for Chester's care, which will no doubt be very expensive. If you want to help out specifically for that, please specify when you send money, and I'll get a separate visa gift card for that, or even just write a check.

UPDATE #2 - Tri On The Run has donated a pair of shoes for Danny - he gets to go pick out the pair of his choice...and the owners happen to be dog lovers...I think we've got something good over there!!

UPDATE #3 - WOW.  I am blown away by the generosity of friends and strangers alike.  If you don't run or aren't part of a running club, I suggest you join one ASAP!  Emails went out to two big running clubs in the area this morning and the response has been overwhelming.  All people needed to hear was "fellow runner in need" and they were there to help in a heartbeat!  In addition to the shoes from Tri On The Run, Luke's Locker is now rounding up clothes and gear for Danny, for free, and Kenyan Way has given him a free training season whenever he's ready to join.  People have also said they have everything from a frigerator to a queen size bed to a couch to towels and sheets to give to him.  Now I guess he just needs a place to put all the new loot!

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...
