Thursday's Connections Abound

Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The Face-to-Face Lost and Found page is permanently located beneath this current post. Old Connections Abound can be accessed via the date or subject archives listed on the sidebar. Check the submissions page, FAQ, and ways to get involved for additional information. Email me at thetowncriers@gmail.com with any questions/concerns.

Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
  • Today is A New Day! Please help out Allison. This story brought others out of the woodwork saying that the same thing happened to them. We have someone lined up to help bump off a date next week. Until Wordpress fixes this, doing a call-for-clicking is the way to solve this issue. Please send me your blog url and the number of hits needed if you want a date removed from your dashboard.
Old
  • Looking for Blogs: "I'm 41, dealing with secondary infertility. Am relatively new to this world, just having been given high fsh results (29) on Friday...I was looking for blogs specifically by women in situations similar to mine." So...over 40 and high FSH--if you write a blog that fits the bill, leave your blog url in the comments section below so this person can begin reading along.
  • If you notice another loading slow down or receive error messages for Stirrup Queens or Lost and Found, please let me know. Now I'm nervous every time I add anything to the side bar!
