720th 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.

MISCELLANEOUS SUPPORT AND CELEBRATIONS (scary scans, anxious waits, OHSS, and a host of other reasons why these bloggers could use some additional support right now. Also, celebratory retrievals, transfers, and other good news)

• NewYearMum is finally going to have her next FET day-5 transfer on Sunday, after an earlier miscarriage and a rough start to this cycle.
• Being Barren has been having a hard time with pregnancy announcements and unemployment and could use some love.
• Romancing The Stone's house caught fire. Everyone is all right and she's counting her blessings, realizing how easily it could have been different.
• Jasmine is a 6-month-old beautiful girl who has been diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyapathy. She has been on the list for a heart transplant since August 29. The month of November has been very difficult for her, as she has been battling pneumonia, among other infections. The doctor said that she doesn't have much time left. Please stop by her blog and show some support to her and her family. Her mother, Naycee, could really use any support you have to give.
