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.

- Creme de la Creme: the first deadline for the 2011 Creme de la Creme is quickly approaching. If you want your blog post to be on the list when it goes up January 1st, you need to turn it in by December 15th. All posts that come in between December 15th to January 5th will go up after January 1st.
- Question: Bea, who just started blogging on IF from Brazil, has a question she has asked many times and is not satisfied with the answers she got so far. The question goes for the lucky ones that got a positive after treatment. When you are on IUI or IVF treatment, IS THAT ANY DIFFERENCE between an unsuccessful cycle and successful cycle during those 14 days wait? Any symptoms, anything? Although her blog is in Portuguese she has a post in English just about this.

- Manapan writes, "My cousin doesn't blog, but she could really use some prayers right now. Her SAIF baby boy, Lucas, was born on Thanksgiving. He's currently experiencing heart failure and is being considered for a transplant. I want to let her know that lots of people out there are hoping for the best for Lucas. And if the worst happens, I want her to know there's a supportive blog community out there for her. I would love to pass on your comments to her but my blog is a secret from my family, so I made a placeholder one just for her. Thank you."

She's new to the ALI community -- please stop by and welcome her.
