“[A] a well-researched, deeply comprehensive (and readable!) guide to building a queer family in a way that works for you.” —Emily Oster, author of Expecting BetterThis groundbreaking, up-to-date fertility guide from trusted queer and trans midwife Kristin Liam Kali is perfect for every queer family seeking pregnancy. It’s also the first evidence-based, transgender inclusive, and body-positive fertility resource for our community. Here, queer prospective parents will find sound advice about every step of the baby-making process:· Creating a timeline· Fertile health for every body· Preconception tests· Identifying ovulation· Sperm donors, egg donors, gamete banks, and surrogacy· Methods of insemination including IUI, IVF, and reciprocal IVF· Miscarriage and infertility· Navigating early pregnancy and preparing for infant feeding, including lactation induction for trans women and other nongestational parents This book is for all LGBTQ+ readers interested in creating family through pregnancy: anyone who identifies as queer, lesbians, gay men, bisexual people, trans and nonbinary people, couples, single parents by choice, poly families, and coparents. It’s an antidote to a culture and medical system that all too often centers heterosexual couples experiencing infertility while overlooking our unique needs. Also contains sidebars with guidance for reproductive healthcare professionals.“This life-changing book is equal parts practical handbook and sensitively written resource. Highly recommended!”—Toni Weschler, MPH, author of Taking Charge of Your Fertility
