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.

- Connection: A blogger writes, "Louise hasn't updated since April after having been diagnosed with aggressive cancer and commencing a clinical trial of a promising drug. I was a regular reader and was wondering if anyone has any news? I'm worried."
- Giveaway: Suzy is celebrating her 200th post with her very first giveaway. Be sure to go by and say hi and enter for a chance to win some goodies.
- Question: S of Misconceptions About Conception has a question for those who paid out-of-pocket for their IVF or DE IVF cycle. How did you do it? Did you already have the needed amount in savings? Did you save for the cycle once you found out IVF would be necessary for you? (If so, how? Second/different job? Extra shifts? Drastic lifestyle changes?) Did you get the money from a friend or family member? Did you borrow some, or all, of the money?
- Advice: Annie has questions for anyone who has used Lovenox/heparin as part of an IVF protocol in absence of definite proof of thrombophilia. She's doing IVF and is terrified of having another dead baby, but her RE says no Lovenox until (if) she gets rising betas.
