MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New

• Technical help--someone has to know their way around Typepad. Flicka is trying to figure out how to add things to the sidebar. Since I only know my way around Blogger, could someone head over and help her out?

LOSS ANNOUNCEMENTS

• A correction: Yesterday I wrote that Meg's daughter died prior to the delivery. She died three hours after delivery. Please go over to The.Para.Graph and give Meg your support.

MISCELLANEOUS SUPPORT:Bed rest, scary scans, OHSS, and a host of other reasons why these bloggers could use some additional support right now. Also, celebrations!

• Dianne at Flutter of Hope received a negative this week. They are taking a year off of treatments to regroup and decide what they want to do next. Please go over and give her support.
• Shelli at BagMomma is going on 10 weeks since her 4th miscarriage and her betas are coming down horrifically slowly. She is looking for anyone with prior losses who has had an issue with very, very, very slowly declining betas. She has googled herself out and has yet to find anyone who has been there. She needs some support and insight. If you have been through a similar situation or can point her towards information, please visit her at her blog, BagMomma.
  
• Heather at BigP and Me is still on birth control pills for the cysts that would not shrink (and even grew on the pills!). Please go over and give her a hug.
• Farah at Fertilize Me is in a good place mentally, but you can still go over and wish her luck for IUI #2 since IUI #1 is ending this week.
• Browneyedgirl is having heavy, unexplained bleeding, probably due to PCOS. Go over and give her some support.
• Mama Wannabe's hCG is still rising, but not doubling. Please go over and give her a hug. She has an ultrasound on Thursday.
  

PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENTS

• None Today.
  

BIRTH AND ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Sparkle's baby has arrived. She was born Thursday, September 20th, a day before Sparkle's 5th wedding anniversary. Go over and give her congratulations.
