Queer Conception Summary

Queer Conception: The Complete Fertility Guide for Queer and Trans Parents-to-Be by Kristin Liam Kali

[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 Better


This 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

This book is 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 Better

In Queer Conception, fertility midwife Kristin Kali helps prospective parents navigate a heteronormative system . . . The book helps readers identify potential donors and surrogates, describes methods of insemination, and prepares new parents for infant feeding, which may include lactation induction for trans women and nongestational parents.
-Publishers Weekly

Kali distills the knowledge they've gained over 25 years of experience as a health care provider and advocate for queer and trans parents into a book filled with detailed information about fertility, family planning and parenthood...Fertility and family planning is often catered to straight, cisgender, monogamous couples; Kali illustrates that queer and trans parents and parents-to-be have different needs and perspectives that need to be taken into account.
-The SeattleTimes

Queer Conception decodes the science of baby making with a body-positive, gender-affirming lens. A pivotal resource delivered with heart. Highly recommended!
-Lindo Bacon, PhD, author of Health at Every Size and Radical Belonging

A must-read for queer and trans parents-to-be, their providers, their extended families, allies, and anyone who wants to understand the new terrain in which it takes a sperm, an egg, a uterus, and a rainbow of genders and sexualities to make a baby.
-Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, director of mental health at UCSF Child and Adolescent Gender Center and author of Mommies, Daddies, Donors, Surrogates
