Reseña del libro "Queer Conception: The Complete Fertility Guide for Queer and Trans Parents-To-Be (en Inglés)"
Making a baby through love and science? Get the guidance you need to navigate the conception process with confidence and ease. "[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 The only evidence-based, up-to-date fertility guide for queer people from an experienced health care provider, this is also the first to be transgender inclusive and body-positive. Here, queer prospective parents will find sound advice for navigating complex medical, social and financial decisions. Trusted fertility midwife Kristin Kali walks you through the baby-making process: creating a timeline; fertile health for every body; preconception tests; identifying ovulation; donors, gamete banks, and surrogacy; methods of insemination including IUI, IVF and reciprocal IVF; navigating early pregnancy; and preparing for infant feeding, including lactation induction for trans women and 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. It 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
