内容简介

一本基于其丈夫和妻子的试管婴儿故事的原创图形小说，以及世界各地像他们一样的50分之一的夫妇。

康拉德和乔安在大学的Z后一年相遇，从那时起他们就几乎形影不离。有一段时间，他们感觉自己拥有世界上所有的时间。然而现在，当他们终于准备好要孩子的时候，他们发现怀孕并不总是那么容易。

摆在他们面前的是一段艰难、昂贵、充满感情的辅助生育之旅，每一次 "成功 "的植入都要经过两周的等待，看是否能怀孕。与乔安和康拉德、他们的朋友、他们的家人、他们的同事以及一众专业医生一起，在这部敏感而又坚定地描写现代医学给许多人带来的希望和心碎的作品中，他们经历了高潮和低谷、泪水和欢笑。

An original graphic novel based on the IVF stories of its husband-and-wife authors and the 1-in-50 couples around the world like them.

Conrad and Joanne met in their final year of university and have been virtually inseparable since then. For a while, it felt like they had all the time in the world. Yet now, when they are finally ready to have kids, they find that getting pregnant isn't always so easy.

Ahead of them lies a difficult, expensive, and emotional journey into the world of assisted fertility, where each 'successful' implantation is followed by a two-week wait to see if the pregnancy takes. Join Joanne and Conrad, their friends, their family, their coworkers, and a stream of expert medical practitioners as they experience the highs and the lows, the tears and the laughter in this sensitive but unflinching portrayal of the hope and heartbreak offered to so many by modern medicine.
