I remember reading Michelle Tea's installments of this during the xojane years and being riveted. It's fun to reread years later and especially delightful to have a queer reading of infertility. A great one for the doula shelf.

I feel like I can't review this because MT is now married to my ex (who is mentioned in the book) and it feels weird, haha.

Quirky and funny account of the sometimes arduous road to motherhood for an over 40 queer woman. Cool to learn about the process of trying to conceive from a lens other than that of the str8 upper middle class we’re used to hearing about. Definitely not for the squeamish or sheepish! Loved reading about how her community beyond her partner assisted and held her up. It was a huge bummer to learn in the end that she and Orson got divorced :(( but I appreciate that she didn’t mention that or color her stories with it all until the very end. Her love for this person is clearly very deep. Also, I was fully on board with all of the astrology woven in until she talked about refusing to give birth to her son until his stellium was out of Scorpio?? Come onnnn
