Connections Abound

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New

• A sad update from Mary: "the number went up, but only by 10 points (that's 36 if you are keeping track). Not close to doubling. Staying on the meds and retesting on Tuesday, mostly as a formality. Unless there is a miracle, not much chance here. See, I knew G-d didn't really like us that much. Sad (again.) Would have been easier if we hadn't gotten that double to get our hopes up." Please leave Mary messages of support on this post. I'll make sure she gets them.
• From Here to Maternity has moved and gone somewhat password-protected. Schooch on over to her new Wordpress digs and email her at noangel139@hotmail.com.
• Dramlish seconds the return of Smarshy: "I logged on with just the purpose of asking about Smarshy. I hope someone knows what's become of him. He's written some stuff that made me almost pee my pants from laughing so loud."
• The Secret Garden has moved. You can now read it here.
  

Old

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!

• Scott and Tracey at Colby and Avery's Story could use support this week. Colby and Avery were born premature at 25 weeks. Avery died on September 17th. Colby is undergoing surgery tomorrow (the 30th) to reattach his intestines. Please go over and give them good thoughts.
• Mrs. B at Empty Womb Syndrome had to undergo emergency surgery last week for an ectopic pregnancy. She lost her tube and could use lots of love and support right now.
• Mandsloved received her beta back. It's 18 and she's nervous. Please go over and give her support.
• Geohde is bleeding at 5 days post transfer. She sums it up: "I’m bleeding at 5 days post transfer in an artificially medicated cycle in which they specifically state that I should no way no HOW bleed after office hours." Which just sucks. Please go over and give her your support.
