756th 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 NEWS
New

• Project: Are you doing the Time Warp this month? Through Time Warp Tuesday we revisit and share some of our favorite blog entries from our archives and reflect on our journeys since we wrote them. The theme for September is 9/11. When I realized that this month’s Time Warp Tuesday would fall on September 11th, the topic choice seemed obvious. Look for a blog entry in your archives where you wrote about 9/11. It can be a post in which you wrote about where you were and what you were doing that day or a something else related to your thoughts and feelings about this tragedy in the USA and our world’s history. 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. Linky opens at midnight (CST) on Tuesday, September 11th.

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)

• JJ at Journey of Emotions is embarking on her first (and most likely only) IVF after a several year journey through IF.  Any support, words of advice or encouragement are appreciated!
• Becky and her husband recently had an IUI that they thought was negative. It turned out Becky did get pregnant but it was ectopic and this resulted in an emergency surgery. They had to cancel their 6th year wedding anniversary trip because of the surgery. Please send her some love.
• Dear Finley found out that Finley passed away most likely due to medical negligence.  Please give her support.
