update, nothing great to report.

Hi gang. Thanks so much for all of you who have contacted me personally to check in re- the whole baby thing... This round of IUI, unfortunately, didn't take. So, we're going to try again in, hopefully, a few days. We are, of course, disappointed, but, not teribly discouraged. So, we'll keep plugging away. Again, thanks so much for all your kind thoughts and words. I just wanted to update you all. Lisa C

Hi Lisa, Sorry for the negative results, I know it is hard to go through this. To get so hopeful, and then nothing. I had spent from 2/2002 to 12/2003 trying to get pregnant, with IUI's, injections, etc. It actually worked twice, but I had miscarriages both times. Of course, I was/am still pre-op, 42 years old now and weigh 300 pounds. If I had weighed less I'm sure it would have been successful. We have decided not to try again after I lose the weight, because by then I will be +/- 44. We have a 5 year old now, and she is great. Although I still feel a pang of sadness when I see a baby. You have done the surgery, lost the weight and are healthy now. I'm sure the next round will be the one for you!! Hang in there and try to be positive. It will happen for you!! Anne

Hi Lisa I am so sorry it didnt work this time.. i know there isnt anything anyone can say to make you feel better right now because the whole situation stinks. i just wanted to let you know you are in my prayers for as long as it takes.. Cheryl K

I'm sorry to hear things didn't take this time. I know from the experiences of friends how frustrating it can all be. It sounds like your spirits are still pretty good -- that's a good thing. All you can do is try again and hope for a better outcome the next time around. We'll keep sending out prayers/positive thoughts your way! XO Kathy F.

Hi Lisa, I'm so very sorry about your news. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers Hugs to you both, Mary Lou

Hi Lisa, I was wondering how you made out. I know the disappointment you feel - and its very difficult to deal with. Please know that I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Lets do lunch soon! God Bless, Kathy Bilodeau

Lisa, Thank you for sharing this new with all of us. I am sorry it did not work out this time but I am glad you guys did not give up and will try again. I will keep praying for you everyday. hugs Kathy

Hi Lisa, I am so sorry that things didn't work out this month but don't give up hope and remember that we are all praying for you. Relax, take some deep breathes and begin again. You are one determined lady and your weight loss says that in spades. I wish you lots and lots of good things. Hope to see you on the 12th!! Linda

Hi Lisa, I'm just going to say "ditto" to what Linda said because she said it all so well. Hang in there! Carolyn
