Please welcome Jen Cumming, author of Ms.Conception.
Jen had two dreams: to be a mother and a writer. The first, it turns out, was much harder to accomplish, but it gave her plenty to work with for her second dream. Now she’s realized both and traded drug cocktails, injections and early morning line-ups at the fertility clinic for juice boxes, playdates and evening PTA meetings. Jen lives in Toronto with her husband and their two children.

Ms.Conception
Abigail Nichols has tried everything from rash-inducing herbal creams to acupuncture in a desperate, last-ditch effort to get pregnant. Wedged into her iPhone schedule among new business pitches and rebranding design meetings is Abby’s ovulation cycle, along with potential opportunities for illicit afternoon quickies. With all of their hopes and savings on the table, Abby and her husband Jack enter the whispered world of fertility clinics. Along with a meddling mother-in-law, competitive pregnancies, and constant obligatory sex, Abby’s baby-track mind conspires to ravage her career, her marriage, and her sanity. One thing she knows for sure: a healthy sense of humor (and the occasional glass of red wine) is the best coping strategy. One thing she wishes she knew: whether it will be enough.
