Review: A great guide for lesbian couples want to start a family - This book was very helpful. It answered a lot of the questions I had, especially about different treatments used to achieve conception, as well as the costs to expect while being treated. A section about questions to ask your fertility doctor on your initial appointment would have been helpful, but I was able to come up with my own list based on the questions that came up while I was reading the book. It was definitely great to read a book with pronouns that match my family, it can be frustrating looking into fertility specialists because most the language is directed at heterosexual people, and that process can be very different. I don't want to read about all the things the male needs to do, because that isn't part of my journey...this book was a comfort in that way. If you are part of a lesbian relationship and want to learn more about what it takes to conceive I recommend reading this book. It's short enough to read in one sitting, and it covers all the bases. Review: Good info...all in one place - Most of the same information can be found online for free, but it is nice to have it all packaged together in one small book. My wife seemed to appreciate this as well.

Just ok, but all this info is already online
I applaud the author for her attempt, and there is definitely some good info in there about conception for queer couples, but it's so incredibly basic. The physical paperback is just OK quality and I was able to get through it in an hour. I think the same type of info could have been compiled into a website for free somewhere, sort of didn't feel worth $10. Also it definitely focuses heavily on buying sperm at a sperm bank and going that route, which is what the author and her partner used. Totally fine, but I think a comprehensive book would have more deeply explored all angles.

Babies here we come!
Easy to follow, and a great guide to read as a first step when starting to plan a family. Each chapter ends with suggestions of things for you and your wife to go over. The book is only about 50 pages long - not too long to lose interest, but long enough to get info. I highly recommend this book!

This truly is an easy to follow guide...
As the title states this is "An easy-to-follow, how-to get started guide for lesbians thinking about getting pregnant." Conceiving generally speaking can be very difficult for many, and with lesbian families in particular there are added challenges taking place. This book breaks it down in a digestible way that any one can understand.

NOT FOR UK READERS
Nice to read and very informative. Helped myself and my partner decide on a few things, some big some small.. BUT we didn't realise until speaking to our NHS specialist that what we had in mind after reading this book was completely wrong as the process is completely different in the UK. Be careful as we had something in mind which was very exciting and this was then shattered ☹️ I think this should be listed in the description to prevent this from happening to other readers in the UK.
