My soon to be fiance (trans woman) and I (nb) have decided we want to have children in the future and are not sure when. We are getting older and decided I should probably freeze my embryos since we don't know when we will feel ready to have children.

She already has her sperm frozen right before she started HRT, done by the gender clinic at Rush, but I can't find that Rush does embryo preservation, their family planning section just talks about birth control.

I am looking for a place that will do embryo preservation and will allow us to talk to someone about my concerns with the process, especially regarding rights as trans parents and concerns about embryo freezing in post-Roe US.

I've seen a few people in previous similar posts mention Northwestern, but I'm a little hesitant to go there. I am currently a patient there, the doctors are nice, the wait times are extreme and they are clearly massively rushed and overworked, more than anywhere I've ever been.

It's hard to find anything with a Google search past the advertising and marketing. Does anyone have any experiences?

I wanted a beautiful spring recipe and was feeling some SEAsian flavors so settled for some pandan milk buns!

I used this video for the base recipe: https://youtu.be/6HxLUG2p758

And this article for some tips including dough enhancer!: https://timeswithtabby.com/milk-bread/

I did not use the amount of dough enhancer in the blog, instead followed the instructions of my dough enhancer

Buns got a little bit toasty on the top but seemed perfect to me! Also I over-duster a bit with corn starch since my duster has larger holes

Verdict: Fluffiest and softest bread I have ever made. No contest. Fluffier than breads I have gotten at bakeries.

The pandan smells amazing, my previous experience tasting pandan is in lapis legit and in lots of kaya, but in the buns, even though I used double pandan as recommended in the blog, I couldn't taste it much and just got a weird aftertaste. They were still good though. I also threw in a tiny bit of vanilla, 1/2 tsp on a whim. Might have thrown off the flavor. Who knows.

I would love to incorporate honey in the future. I miss my favorite hainanese honey kaya and I think honey goes so well with pandan. Or might try some on top!

My gf famously does not like coconut but I was shocked, she loved these a ton, even more than me perhaps.

Overall, flavor needs some tweaking but a great success!
