Resources
- Lara’s blog is the first place I ever heard of the TAC: http://ourbabyh.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html (start at the bottom and read up)
- Abbyloopers is an organization dedicated to the education and support of the TAC and TAC patients. This particular website offers a brief overview of the TAC: http://www.abbyloopers.org/faq.htm
- Abbyloopers also has an incredibly active network of women and a wealth of resources from many doctors on their Yahoo Health Group site. This website ALSO has an incredible database of doctors all around the world who have performed the TAC this document alone makes it worth visiting the site! This site does require membership, so it may take a day or two for your approval. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE! THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE!
