This group is open to all individuals trying to conceive, including queer and trans families and supports all outcomes and all choices.
Whether you’re just beginning, actively trying to conceive, navigating fertility support, or holding space for complex decisions and outcomes — you are welcome here.
We aim to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported — exactly as you are.
Please note: we ask that older children stay home, as conversations may be sensitive.
