629th Issue of the LFCA

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.

PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NEWS

• Fran had a great anatomy scan.
• Erica is thrilled to still be PUPO! Her first beta on Tuesday was an astonishing 837 and she is calmly awaiting her second beta Thursday. The clinic doctor himself called to confirm the news and said that both transferred embryos probably stuck to get such a high number.
• Kristin over at Once A Mother needs us. Kristin is finally pregnant again ... with twins. Kristin lost her daughter Peyton to infant leukemia when she was 28 days old. 5 days ago, on Peyton's 2nd birthday, Kristin started bleeding a lot. Currently, the twins are okay but Kristin has a large (3.5 inch (9cm) ) subchorionic hemorrhage/blood clot in her uterus. Her doctors are hopeful things will work out but there is still a HUGE risk. Please go offer her your support.
