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.

- Question: Barren has a question regarding steroids during a stim cycle. Does anyone have experience with steroids during their stim cycle? She's been using a Medrol Dose Pack at the start of her cycle, and is curious about protocols and dosing for those of you that take other types of steroids. Will you share your experiences including dosing amounts and days? She also has a question for low responders. Is there a difference starting stims on Day 2 as opposed to Day 3? How much do you take? Have you noticed a difference in your ovarian response taking more after a certain amount?
- Question: Rebecca's husband will be having TESA for the first time, and she would like to hear from people who have been through it before.
- IComLeavWe: New IComLeavWe list for August opened last night.
- LFCA Heads Up: I'm going to have limited Internet access for a few days, so anything that isn't sent via the form will not make it into the LFCA. In other words, don't email the news, use the form, so it can be a quick cut-and-paste. Sorry about that!
- Forums: If you are not a member of the forums, you will not have access to the LFCA on days when we are utilizing an open thread in the forums instead of posting on this site. Any blog reader or writer can become a member of the forums by clicking here and registering. On days when we don't have the LFCA, it also follows that I'll be slow on approving new members (that whole lack of Internet access thing) so please be patient.
