"A heartfelt memoir that compassionately and powerfully addresses the pervasive and growing issue of women's infertility through the very real lens of Alex Johnston's harrowing personal story. Fifteen years ago, when Alex first started trying - and struggling - to get pregnant, she received outdated medical information and erroneous advice. Unfortunately, this incorrect information is still widely offered to women today, and barriers to accessing treatment haven't changed. Alex shares what she learned on her own path to parenthood, including navigating infertility and IVF treatments, surviving the loss of her first child, having two daughters through surrogacy in Canada and the United States, and finally, after many years of trying, giving birth to a baby boy the old-fashioned way. All the while, Alex fought for a government policy change to better support people trying to build their families."--From publisher.
