Of Course You Can

In 2008, after two years of failing to make a child organically, we learned the doom Kathy had already been feeling for more than a year was justified: I was diagnosed with male-factor infertility. Our only real chance to move forward would be in vitro fertilization. We couldn’t afford it; we couldn’t afford not to do it. One way we tried to work through that diagnosis, our anger, and our options was to start a secret infertility blog, “Less Than a Million.” This post and what comments from 2008 that are attached to it come from that blog.—gb


Remarking upon the pregnancy of his neighbor, a transgender man impregnated with donor sperm who fully expects to be his child’s father, Josh Love said, “I can stick my stomach out and almost make it look like that.”
