The Hormonal Fog Has Been Lifted!

I tell you: these hormones are no joke! Even on an unmedicated cycle, the power of your hormones can turn you into a certifiable loon. Add fuel to the fire, and the results are downright turbulent. Sheesh!

I think the hormone haze from the last cycle is finally leveling out. Thank goodness! I can think again. I can see clearly. I don't feel the need to eat pint after pint of ice cream while sobbing one second and raging the next.

I am focusing on my marathon training and it is glorious! Even if I can't seem to stay up on my two feet (yeah, I kinda fell... again... while out on my long run this weekend. Second time this month! What do you do when you fall? Well, I get right back up and run 10 more miles!).

The Dr. KK Countdown is slowly ticking away. We are down to 56 days until Part I (initial consult with testing) and 96 days until Part II (follow up with results). I have to admit that I don't know much about the world of reproductive immunology. I worry that it's too late for me. Maybe there's something that can be done to improve our chances, but I'm worried that it's not going to be enough to make the difference for us. ::shrugs shoulders:: I dunno. There's only one way to find out!!

  5. Where did my comment go? Ugh. I'm glad that yesterday's run did not involve any falls, just a little "trail and error" when getting back to the car -- you know, where you left the first aid kit! :-) Looking forward to more adventures. We seriously need to get on that book of ours. The Adventures of C&R.

    1. HAHAHA!!! Oh, let the good times roll!! I don't know what it is, but my body seems intent on self destructing whenever I run with you!! I think our book should be entitled "The Adventures of CR Boom"
