Hi all,
Let's start a new 3rd party repro weekly check in since our friend JM1977 had to end the last one while she is busy growing a new baby boy while raising DD and working!
I'll take it on as I need some things to occupy myself and I like doing this kind of thing. If anyone else would like to help/rotate doing it let me know!
Cross-posting to IF, and IFV (I know I'm not a qualified/official poster on IFV but I'm only posting b/c a lot of 3rd party people are ).

3rd Party Repro Check-In
This check-in is for anyone considering, using or who have used a method of 3rd party reproduction including donor egg, donor sperm, both DE/DS, embryo adoption, gestational carriers or surrogates. It is also open to anyone who is a donor, GC or surrogate.
Please respond with this information and I will compile the check-in weekly. If you have a preference for day of week, let me know, otherwise it'll likely be Monday or Tuesdays. If you don't check in for 4 weeks in a row you'll be removed from the check-in history/list, but you can always re-join when you're ready!
