I Need Your Help - PLEASE!!!

A friend of mine lost everything he owned this evening in a fire in Houston.  Thankfully, no one was hurt, and it looks like his dog is going to make it - although he apparently inhaled a lot of smoke while waiting to be rescued.

A story about the fire is here, and video is here.

He and his family grew up across the street from me in Beaumont, and our families still live there.  I felt completely helpless when I heard about the fire this afternoon/evening, and if you know me, you know I can't stand to sit around and do nothing - while my "ideas" might not always be the greatest, I try.  I'm not one to sit patiently and feel the need to "take action" whenever possible.  Nothing is different this time - hopefully I've figured out a way to help out in a little, small way.  Danny started running recently and loves it.  He was planning to do his first triathlon later this summer.  I don't want him to have to give up his new-found fitness because of this fire, so I'm hoping we can pull together and get a gift certificate to Luke's Locker for him to get some shoes and maybe some clothes.  I also hope to get a gift certificate for him to Target or Wal-Mart to use for whatever he needs...and he needs EVERYTHING.  If you would like to help out, please let me know.  Email me at kcwoodhead@yahoo.com and I'll let you know how to get money to me - or you can just send it directly using PayPal (chose the "send money" tab when you login, and use the above email address to send money).

I know I have a decent number of readers in Beaumont that probably know the Green family.  Please pass word of this along if you can - I know we can make a difference if we all work together.

Thank you sooo much.

Oh, and how could I forget, the #1 request I have from everyone is to PLEASE PRAY for Danny and his family.  I truly believe prayer will go further than any donation of any size.
Me, Danny, and Kelly at the Gusher in May

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...
