Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point to Lost and Found is to level the support playing field. When LFCA works correctly, the newest blogger with the smallest readership can receive the same level of support as the oldest blogger with the largest readership. Anyone can submit news to LFCA by clicking here.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.

- Kirtsy'd Pick O' the Day: Please vote for this one from The Fine Print. I bawled with the last thought: "If our baby lived to full term he would have been born in March of 2007. However, somewhere in the world our baby was born-on March 21, 2007 in a hospital in Korea. He was waiting for us and we were waiting for him and we did not even know." A beautiful post about infertility and how it affects a family. How do you vote? Simply by clicking on the words "this one" above and then clicking on the post's title. Why the Kirtsy'd Pick O' the Day? Click on that link in the header navigation bar above for the story. And send me stuff!

The first two were about IVF treatment and infertility diagnoses. This article goes through the normal menstrual cycle, how Clomid works and IUI. Bear in mind the rest of the site is about multiples, so don't click if you're feeling fragile."

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has recently opened the Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit, the only delivery unit in the world dedicated specially for mother's carrying babies with a known problem. There is information available here (http://www.chop.edu/fetalsurgery/sdu/index.html) and here (http://www.chop.edu/physician_referral/pdf/special_deliv_unit.pdf) or you can go to www.chop.edu and search garbose to read all the articles."

I hope you take a peek at the comments mel, for the PA or other close bloggers, there is a study on those with PCOS that involves meridia, loestrin and clomid. sounds like a decent study where the goal is to get pregnant.
Have a look: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00704912?term=pcos&rank=1
