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.

- Off-Topic Warning: Read if you have a blog via Wordpress and you're not upgraded to the latest version--there has been an attack on Wordpress blogs.
- Reporter: Got a request from a reporter doing a story on infertility. You can contact her at kse@columbus.rr.com if you are interested in being interviewed. "I'm working on for the magazine Conceive. I'm a freelance writer and the article has to do with envy -- do women who have trouble with infertility or maybe they have miscarried feel envy toward women who become pregnant without difficulty, new moms, maybe moms with several kids? I'm looking into whether or not this is an issue and what can be done about it."
- Activism: September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Support those battling the disease and raise awareness by wearing teal this month.
- 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.
