In Jewish mysticism, there is a concept called " making a vessel for a

blessing " (possibly in other religions too?)

I once heard a story told of 2 women, each of whom was having trouble

conceiving. They each went to the same famous Rabbi known to perform miracles

to ask

him to pray for them that they should have children. He told each one that

she would soon have a child. One of the women went home & immediately bought a

baby carriage. The other did nothing. The first one conceived- the other

did not. The woman who did not conceive went back to the Rabbi to ask why the

other woman had conceived and she had not. The great Rabbi told her that in

order to receive a blessing, one must create a vessel/recepticle to hold that

blessing! " She bought a baby carriage " , he said. " What did you do? "

Sigh!

Like you, I'm wondering whether it might be good " karma " to get my uterus

ready so I'll be ready to go when Mr. Reasonably Right comes sauntering into my

life! (may it be soon!!!) What could be more of a " vessel for a blessing " than

a uterus ready to hold a baby?!

(Meanwhile, I'm still wavering, as meanwhile, my 'broids are still causing me

very little trouble!. Very confusing decision!!!)

Best of luck!
