On a Tuesday night, “J” paused a streaming drama right at the cliffhanger. Their phone buzzed again—another celebrity pregnancy announcement, another comment thread arguing about “the right way” to build a family. J set the phone down, took a breath, and focused on something quieter: making their at home insemination plan feel doable. If you’re…

On a Tuesday night, “J” refreshed their feed for the third time. Another celebrity pregnancy announcement. Another comment thread debating how it happened, who knew first, and whether it was “natural” or “assisted.” Then J closed the app, opened a notes file, and typed the only question that mattered: “When do we actually try?” If…
