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.

- Action: A reader writes, "I am sure this has been submitted already, but I am just outraged and thought we could send people over to request this blogger be removed from Babycenter. I am also contacting their sponsors to let them know about this hurtful blog post. You can contact babycenter.com through this link: http://www.babycenter.com/help-contactus."
- Project: The next Time Warp Tuesday (TWT) blog hop/writing exercise will be held Tuesday, April 10th. Through TWT we revisit and share some of our favorite blog entries from our archives and reflect on our journeys since we wrote them. The theme this month is Blogoversaries. Whether you have been writing your weblog for a year, five years or more, many of us like to share a special blog entry each time we mark the anniversary of when it all began. It can be interesting and therapeutic to reflect on how far we have come from year to year. Choose a blog entry from your archives that you wrote on the day of, or around the time of, one of your “Blogoversaries.” Then write a new post on your blog about why you chose the post that you did and what has happened in your life since. Join us for some great reading, reflection and discussion!

- After a December miscarriage, JB learned that she had a septate uterus. After a D&C and 2 hysteroscopies, the septum was diagnosed as muscular and vascular. A laparoscopic surgery and stint would be necessary to keep the septum from reattaching. During this procudure, her doctors determined that she had only one functioning fallopian tube. While the left tube wasn't removed, there is no way that an egg has or will ever be passed through that tube. She and her husband are excited to be entering in to their first "TTC" cycle in April since October of 2011. She started blogging as a way to deal with the loss and as a way to help others who are obsessive "googlers" like herself when it comes to self-diagnosis. Here are some of the tips she's compiled about how to deal before, during, and after a laparoscopic surgery.
