Re: *third-party reproduction check-in* feb 22nd
Qotw: I did not watch the Oscars.
I did my Glucose Test last week . No results yet so I am assuming that no news equals Good News!
My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

AFM, I had my suppression check last week and all went well. I started estrogen and have a blood draw Friday, then another next Friday plus lining check. Our thaw date is 3/10, the hopefully we'll have something to transfer. Day 3 is Friday the 13th (!!) or ideally Day 5 is Sunday the 15th. Time is flying.
Just watched a few minutes of the Oscars. Enjoyed Lady Gaga, and always love me some NPH!
