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!
  • A member of our community really needs support right now. Ann from The Unlucky 20 Percent finds out today if her baby has bilateral renal agenesis, a fatal condition. She is currently 20 weeks.
  • Kir of Kir's Corner is on bedrest right now. Please send her well-wishes at kpiccini@ptd.net. She is checking email every other day and could use the boost.
  • Eggs in a Basket needs your prayers or good thoughts. She writes: "we are sorta canceling this IVF cycle. We have returned to the mother ship to rally around family as one of our beloved family members battles a very serious illness. Right now, things are touch and go, and nothing is looking very good. So, we've decided to delay the IVF schedule and just "cycle thru" until January."
  • Tash at Awful But Functioning could use some support right now. They are trying to decide if they want to have another child...and what road they would go down if they do. She is just coming up on her 9 month anniversary of her loss date as well.
  • A negative for New Midlife Mommy. She could really really use some good thoughts and hugs right now.
