MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
- And we're back! There were over 150 updates for today's LFCA so I went with most recent or non-time sensitive. I'm now back on track for the rest of the week.
- In the News: Very interesting article in the Daily Mail about a way to test embryos to see which have the best chance of implanting when returned to the uterus.
- In the News: Lovesbabyhopes had a front page story in her local paper.
- Good Information: Beth has a post about a site that offers a rebate on Lupron as well as great endo facts. She has links to the site on that post.
- Connection: Rebecca at Clumsy Kisses would like to connect with others who have lost a parent while trying to conceive. "One of the things that hurts the absolute most right now is that I never got to make my dad a grandfather. If things had worked out how we wanted, my dad would have known his grandchildren. I want to know if anyone else has got through this, and how. If they could email me - clumsykisses@giraffeonastick
.com - that would be good." - Question: Breakfast in Bedrest has a question about apnea monitors. If you can answer her question, head over to her blog.
- Question: Letting it Out has a question about naming children and some interesting questions about name origin. If you're up to it, join the discussion on her blog.
- Questions: Life in the Phisch Bowl has a bunch of questions ranging from laps to injectible meds. Swing by her blog and answer them.
- Go forth and grab people: let's get more non-IFers to join NaComLeavMo--National Comment Leaving Month (national refers to wherever you're living at the time...), this year's answer to the Commentathon. Okay, more IFers too, but the non-IFers as well.
