Summary

As a gay person, Joanne dreamed of falling in love and having a child. This seemed impossible - until she swiped right on Lara. From their first date on, Joanne knew Lara was the one - kind, caring, and wanting to have a child together someday. 

Two years later, Lara, a transgender woman, told Joanne, a cisgender woman, that if they wanted to try having a biological child, it was now or never. Despite the physical and mental obstacles, the couple embarked on a conception journey that would take their bond to the brink.

Told with humor and heart, Preconceptions is the story of how, against all odds, two people realized their dream of becoming a party of three.

Love always wins in the end

There have been plenty of books written of the turmoil that people suffer to conceive pregnancy. Imagine how much more challenging it would be for a trans woman to temporarily reverse her estrogen in order to produce sperm to be inseminated into her female partners to allow her to become pregnant. This is the incredible tale of exactly that and it a love story of LGBTQ people wanting to start a loving family. The pressures on author Joanne Spataro were unbreakable and this caused huge strain on the relationship. Transgender fertility is a subject seldom discussed and this honest and heartfelt book is an excellent introduction.
