Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point of 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.

Thanks so much Mel x
Thanks Mel! LFCA = shouting from the rooftops
Thanks for the mention Mel. I'm still frustrated but hoping that we're able to do something about it all.
Thanks Mel! It was the usual mediocre news, better mediocre news, but not "hey you are released to your OB" kind of news. I'm more upset by the awkward fall I had down the stairs after. Oi!
