Can I get a few prayers or 'good thoughts'?

Hi all. I hoping that I can reach out to you all for a few prayers (or if you prefer- good thoughts) on my behalf. (before you all get too upset---nothing is wrong!) I have just started, what I consider to be my final leg of my WLS journey...and a step toward achieving the ONE goal that has eluded me, so far... having a baby. THis was my ultimate reason for having WLS, and it's turned out to be a very elusive goal, indeed! I just had my first round of fertility treatments (IUI). Now, I get to sit and wait until the 15th to see if I'm pregnant. OMG, this is going to drive me nuts. I am trying so hard not to be stressed, because, I know it doesn't help. But...this is so nerve racking. Any good thoughts or wishes you could put out there for me would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys. Lisa

Hi Lisa, Well my dear you have more than just a few good thoughts and prayers......You have bunches and bunches. Relax and get plenty of and and things will work out. I know you want this very very much but don't put too much pressure on yourself. I can't tell you how many women I know who became pregnant once they had started the adoption process because they finally relaxed. Soooooo please take some deep breathes and concentrate on something else. I know it is very hard to to that but necessary. Go to the spa or just take a lot of long drives.....come visit what ever it takes!!! Linda

Dear Lisa, I want to wish you the very best of luck. You are such a great person. You will be a great mom too! Just remember this can be a long process. You'll have to use every ounce of patientice(I'm the worst speller!!) you have, but I know you can do it. Afterall, you had WLS!! I'll keep you in my thoughts. Christine

Dear Lisa, I have not had WLS yet but have walked the infertility path. I took the pills, gave myself the shots, had several iui's, etc. The waiting is so difficult. Take lots of deep breaths and be kind to yourself. I will send many good thoughts and prayers your way. I wish you peace. -Claudia

Claudia Can you please send me your email address again. I havent ben on my computer in a month and I want to talk to you. Hugs Elaine

Hi Lisa, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! Good luck! JA

Good Morning Lisa, I will light up the candle at my church for you andhope God will give you a child or twins (Ha Ha)on earth to raise a child or children. I know you will be excellent mom. I will be at Group support on May 10 th at Middletown and hope to see you there. We will give you a big baby shower party once you are pregnant from WLS CT people HUGS KATHY

Hey Lisa, I know from reading past posts and your profile this is so important to you. You will achieve this final goal, just relax, and exhale. You'll be a great Mommy. Let us know ASAP becuase we're all thinking of you. -Deb

Hi Lisa You sure have my prayers. i know exactly what you are feeling and going through. i did the same thing before surgery. and i am sure will be back to doing the same thing when i reach 18 mos. so i PLAN on following in your footsteps and getting all my advice from you. i hope the next 2wks flies by for you because the waiting is definately the hardest. good luck Cheryl K

Lisa -- I'll be sending a boat-load of prayers your way!! This is such a big undertaking, and really all you can do is do your part & put the rest in God's hands. I have a couple of friends who have conceived through in vitro -- they have lovely, lovely children. I'll pray for the same for you! I would like to have a child, but at 43 I'm thinking I'm getting a little long in the tooth. Granted, my family has a history of late in life births, but not first children. I try to figure out whether I'm taking too much of a risk to try to conceive or if I should just go with adoption. It would make me so happy to be able to conceive and carry a child ... we'll see ......... Again, best wishes, and if you ever need any prayers/good thoughts, you know this is the place to come!!
