- Last Minute Update: Cali posted about a television show that is on tomorrow. You'll need to tape it and watch it Tuesday night and then the discussion will be on Cali's blog (and your blog) on Wednesday. Since this is time sensitive, I'm reposting the L & F to get this in...
- I stopped off on my way home today and got a cup of blue raspberry water ice. So good. Before I left the store, I picked up one for Josh too. But I just ate it while I put together the Lost & Found. I'm so sorry, sweetie. It was really good.
- Connections: Miss Conception is looking for IF vets--people who have been trying for years without any living children. If you fit the description, go leave her a comment so she can find your blog.
- Quiet Blogger: A reader asks if anyone knows what happened to Baby Moxie. If she's reading this, someone would love for you to update and let her know you're okay.
- Question: Kim asks, "I'm looking for people who dealt with an irritable uterus during their pregnancy and and either made it to term or didn't, to share their experiences and ease my mind (or just expand my understanding!)." If you can help her out, please visit her blog. Hell, visit her blog and give her some support even if you can't help out.
- Question: Rebecca from A View on My Life has a question on her blog about fundraising for treatments/adoption. Go over if you can answer it.
- Question: SAHW asks, "I'm about to start Clomid for the first time tomorrow. I was supposed to be monitored with bloodwork and u/s on Days 14 and 24, but I'll be out of town, so my doctor said we'll only just do the Day 24 monitoring. I'm confused, b/c what is the point of monitoring then? I will have already ovulated by then, so it's not like they'll be able to see how many follicles I had or anything, right? If anyone has any insights for me, please contact me via my blog. I'm wondering should I just wait till the following month so I can be monitored properly?"
- Question: I Believe in Miracles has a question: "What is the average blood draw days if you are on a clomid cycle before your IUI? And if you are having blood draws, can your LH go down before a surge?"
- Last week to sign-up for the Roundup Extravaganza (the summer version of the Creme de la Creme). Head over if you want to participate.

Thank you, Melissa. Today turned into a much easier day when I came home to a wealth of support on my site. Thank you.
Likewise, I really appreciate how on top of this site you are. I don't know what we would do without you!
