This anonymous survey was designed in September 2023 to begin thinking about making a public resource about approaching parenthood. It ran online for the duration of the (Mis)Conceptions project (until February 2025), but it was particularly promoted at the onset of the project, to gather initial ideas for public engagement. It was circulated via social media (Twitter and Instagram) and a project website.
64 people responded to a 10-question survey, asking for people's feelings, rituals, and thoughts during the process of trying to conceive.
