I want you to come inside me.

Please. Just come inside me.

Keep rubbing my hair.

You can do it, honey.

You can do it. Okay.

That's it.

So unfortunately, as we saw in the test results, it appears that what has

happened is something known as a chemical pregnancy.

It also can sometimes be referred to as a biochemical pregnancy.

It usually happens within the first five weeks. In your case, within the first

week after ovulation.

Now, it's very common. I assure you over 3 million couples per year go through

this. And in your case, we did have an initially successful fertilization.

Sperm did meet egg.

But unfortunately, the HCG levels did not elevate at the rate necessary for

the embryo to implant itself within the uterine lining.

Now, the good news is, okay, you can get pregnant. That is clear.

You do not need to seek any additional medical treatment. You'll be ready to

try as of your next ovulation cycle.

But I do recommend that we monitor closely.

Do you have any questions?

How much time is left?

Two minutes.

All right, so we're going to start off with 20 milligrams over the next seven

days leading up to the cycle, two pills a day.

Now, common side effects to keep an eye out for, you will have the upset

stomach, the diarrhea, some headaches.

If you're noticing any severe headaches, it could be symptomatic of blood clots,

so that would be an instance to give us a call right away.

Otherwise, I will see you guys after the next cycle.

Any questions?

Thank you guys. Best of luck.

I don't know, Nathaniel, but this medication is making me sick, okay? I

feel ill all the time, and... My head is so

foggy, and I can't even... So please just give me some space, or... But I

need you, so don't.

I'll give you space, okay?

But I know you want my help, and I'm trying to help you as much as I can. I

don't really feel like you're trying to help me, though. Of course I'm trying to

help you. Because I've been on this medication for three months, and you've

never checked in with me a single time, even after hearing the doctor. Are you

serious? I am consistently asking you, how are you doing?

The side effects are nausea, blood clots, fucking... I'm at risk for a

heart attack?

Like, how am I supposed to have a baby if my...

We have been to many doctors already and they all give their different

opinions. You have. Yes, you have. I get it.

Yes,

you found those doctors.

Okay, do you want me to look for them?

Do you want me to look for them?

Okay, fine, I'll fucking look for them.

I have to ask you. This is what it takes. I have to fight with you to be

invested, to help me find a doctor. How can you say I'm not invested?

You're not because I have done all the work. You haven't read that fucking book

I bought you a week ago.

Look, I fucking know. I haven't read the book front to back, but I have looked

through it. And again, everybody I've talked to, every situation is different.

It doesn't matter what's in the book. It's what's mattering now.

Well, how do you know if you don't fucking read it?

That's the point. You're not even... This could be helping us. You're not

looking into everything that could be helping us. You're not talking to the

doctor. You're not asking questions. We are talking to the fucking doctors.

Okay? I've changed a lot. I've changed my diet. I'm doing what I can. I've

gotten my fucking sperm checked. Okay? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I wish it was my fault, but it's not.

Okay? There's something else going on.

fault because I've been doing everything I can.

I've been doing everything and it's still not working so it can't be my

fault. It can't. It has to be you. You need to try harder. You just need to try

harder. I am trying the best I can. Look, it's just I

have to remind you I am not your enemy in this situation. I'm your friend.

You're my husband Nathaniel and you need to start acting like it because husbands

are invested and husbands want to help and they're not out doing overtime at

work you should be here helping how do you think these our insurance doesn't

cover this okay these bills all these doctors we are seeing they okay they're

not cheap all right that's why i'm putting in overtime and also trying to

save so when we do have a baby you're not here to to have sex with me is that

so much to ask my husband to have sex with me

Jesus, Nathaniel. Look, okay? The one thing I will agree on is that this

medication is making our situation worse. I don't give a shit

what he says.

But you have changed.

You have become irrational.

You have become, like, so emotional and a little fucking crazy. And I'm sorry to

say it. I'm really sorry to say it. You think I'm acting crazy? All I want is a

fucking baby and you're going to act crazy for that? I know, but I'm fucking

trying.

I don't fucking deserve

this.

Are you coming?

Now we're not quite at the year mark yet, but I

think it's going to probably be

responsible of me to recommend some alternative options for you two.

I don't know how familiar you are with in vitro fertilization, IVF.

There's also surrogacy that we could explore.

And I can connect you both to a very reputable adoption agency if that's an

alternative route you want to take.

I know it's difficult.

You're not a failure.

You're not considering that, are you?

Please tell me you're not.

It's a fertility clinic.

Are you serious? We found this on our windshield.

I found it.

Yes, okay. You found it on the windshield in our doctor's parking lot.

And just because it says 100th success rate, it means nothing.

That's how I know it's... I mean, it has a phone number. We can at least call.

Why are you going to get your hopes up on something we found on a windshield?

If it was anything serious or real, I'm sure her doctor would be advertising it.

This is bullshit.

I don't even know if I trust that doctor.

I trust that doctor more than that. Just trust me. It's a scam, okay?

I'm sorry, but we got a long ride home.

I just... I just don't want to fight.

Pointed out some things we really need to talk about.

A surrogate.

Yeah, and just let someone else carry my baby. Yeah, that's a great idea.

It's exactly what I've been looking for this whole time.

No, no.

Don't think of it like that.

We're trying to find a way to have a child.

And we haven't talked about all of our options.

Like even adoption.

There are thousands of babies. How could you? Let me finish. There's thousands of

babies. How could you when I've been trying so hard to get pregnant myself

and you just want someone else's kid?

You don't want to have your own child.

That's not it. I want our own child. I want to love a child.

I want to love a child with you. Our child. Our child. That's what I'm

saying. It needs to be our child.

It will be. It could be. Yeah, it could be. If we explored all of our options,

all of them, and we do not stop until it happens, that means trying everything.

No, okay?

What you want is not fucking real. This is not real. The doctor gave us options

because we saw this on our fucking car in a parking lot. Are you serious?

Are you not?

thinking straight.

This is a scam.

It is not real.

It is not how you make a family.

I will not participate in a fucking fire I found

on a car. Don't be fucking insane, okay?

Hello?

Yes, I'm calling about the clinical trials.

Hello.

I'm Bethany.

Don't be alarmed by the lighting scheme.

I had the entire facility rewired last year in solar ultraviolet.

It does wonders for certain skin conditions.

That's... interesting.

I was struck by the severity of your case.

You appear to be quite... desperate to get pregnant.

How old are you?

I'm 26.

26?

Traditionally quite a fertile age.

How is it that...

A beautiful young woman such as yourself cannot conceive a child.

Well, I've tried.

I've tried for the last year.

I've gone to four different fertility clinics and as soon as the insurance ran

out I switched to a private clinic.

And even after $50,000 you'd think they'd be more invested in helping you.

And, I mean, I've done the ovulation shots, the

fertility boosters. I mean, I even had my husband's sperm count done, and it

wasn't an issue with him. And so they said it was maybe an issue with me, but

then they're saying it's not an issue with me. And I've tried homeopathic

methods, even crazy stuff, like sleeping with scissors under my pillow because my

grandma said that that would work.

And it didn't, of course, but I mean, I keep trying these things because I want

to try everything because all I want is to have a baby.

And yesterday my doctor had the audacity to suggest adoption to me as if that

would be an option for someone like me who all I want is just to carry a child,

just to carry my husband's child.

And if he were more invested or at least as invested as he was at the beginning,

then maybe it would have happened by now.

But it hasn't. It hasn't happened, and he's starting to be

less helpful and less supportive, and I'm starting to feel like I'm on

my own with this.

All of my patients have had similar failed attempts, and now

they are all success stories.

Hundreds of women.

And every single one of them has successfully conceived.

Wow.

You mentioned issues with your husband.

Is that why he's not here today?

Yeah, um... We... We had a...

bit of a disagreement.

He found the flyer for your clinic and he, I guess he

thought it was some sort of scam or something.

But I mean, I told him it was worth a shot, but he just, it didn't

end well and I made the call on my own.

So he doesn't know that you're here?

You are a very lucky woman.

I have just launched a new clinical trial that does not require the presence

of a male partner.

My biotechnical units can produce synthetic specimens that are one

thousand times more virile than human sperm.

How can that be possible?

It's all very simple.

I'll be evaluating four methods of synthetic conception.

Nothing too strenuous. I'll have you back.

Before your husband even knows that you're gone.

I don't know. I've never been unfaithful to him or even so

much as lied to my husband.

It's not infidelity if it isn't human.

Synthetic X-chromosomes are c- Completely undetectable.

Meaning that the fertilized eggs only take on the physical characteristics of

the mother.

Your husband will just assume that the baby looks like you.

And why shouldn't it?

You're the one that's done all the hard work.

All you have to do is sign these consent forms and we can begin.

Okay.

Down the bottom.

Next page.

At the top and down the bottom.

Here.

And here.

Just down the bottom.

I'm so glad you came in today, Bethany.

I can't wait to get you pregnant.

She's ready to be prepped.

Female patient 1492 for trial 392. Please give it up for me.

I am a consenting adult.

I am a consenting adult.

And I give full authorization to Dr. Anna Angelis.

And I give full authorization to Dr. Angelis. To perform synthetic conception

testing on my body.

To perform...

to perform synthetic conception testing on my body.

Welcome to my lab.

My stomach hurts.

It's normal to feel a little discomfort.

We had to sedate you to extract and prepare your eggs.

But don't worry.

We were able to grow two big follicles.

And we released their eggs back inside you.

You've never been more ready to have a baby.

Where are your clothes?

Well, in a procedures intimate assist,

I've found that my patients feel more comfortable if we're both unclothed.

Less intimidation means less anxiety,

which results in a better success rate.

And I'm always successful.

This is my first prototype.

I wanted to emulate the feeling of traditional copulation.

So I designed this unit to look familiar.

It's capable of producing trillions of synthetic sperm cells.

When stimulated correctly.

It looks so human.

Doesn't it?

An incredible design.

But completely artificial, I assure you.

Why don't you come down and touch it? See for yourself.

Go ahead.

Beautiful, isn't it?

I took the most important part of a man and accentuated it

and discarded the rest.

I kept the body just so that, you know, it

feels a little more intimate.

I don't want this to feel like a lab space.

But I assure you, it will feel and even taste

human.

Allow me to prepare it for you.

Oh,

I think it's already ready.

Look at that.

Perfectly erect.

Straddle it.

Go ahead.

Are you sure?

Now, I know I designed it quite large, but I need it to get in deep so that

when it releases, its super synthetic sperm reaches those eggs easily.

Try and take it all the way in if you can.

It'll make the process much quicker.

Isn't my design incredible?

It is.

I want you to get into the right mindset.

Remember, this is not a lab.

Okay. The more you can get your body reacting as if you're having sex with a

real human, the easier it's going to be.

In fact, an orgasm would be ideal.

The convulsions in your vagina would propel the synthetic sperm deep

inside you.

Right towards your eggs.

Okay.

I want you to let go.

Let me see how it's looking.

Oh yes.

Your vulva is swollen.

This is exactly what we need.

Now I can see

that the unit is getting closer.

It needs a little less stimulation though.

Here, let me help.

How does that feel?

I think it's working.

What about you and your orgasm?

Do you need assistance?

I don't know.

Here, let me help.

It's very important that you achieve orgasm.

I can see that you're ready.

You're so ready.

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Oh, yes.

I'll be giving my unit the correct signals.

I can tell.

I can tell it's getting closer.

Just think, trillions and trillions of synthetic sperm cells getting ready

to inject deep inside your body.

Yes, don't stop now.

You're doing so well.

So impressed.

Yes, keep going.

It's almost ready.

Yes. Yes.

You can feel it, can't you?

Yes.

Oh yes, keep it in D. Oh, keep it in D.

Oh no!

Such a waste.

Such a waste.

What happened?

It released too early.

I was so fertile too.

It's okay.

I have another prototype.

Come with me.

This... is my newest model.

It can fit into your purse so you can take it anywhere.

It's very discreet.

Perfect for working women.

Isn't it magnificent?

Testicles and all.

I spent three years building it.

It's beautiful.

Isn't it?

I... I guess.

This one is best administered orally.

What? I... That's it.

It's best if you suck as deep as you can.

I'll stimulate the testicles while you do that.

As much stimulation as it can get will help it to produce

synthetic sperm.

Trillions and trillions of sperm cells.

I'm sure you can do better than that.

You do want to get pregnant, don't you?

Well, you already know getting pregnant is hard work.

Good girl.

Works well.

Just think of the family you're going to start.

See how far down your throat you can take it.

The deeper, the better.

Oh, yeah.

The testicles are filling up nicely.

Keep going like that and you're going to have a huge load.

Oh yes, it's beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

I'm so impressed.

Keep going.

Everything you're doing is working.

Here, let me do that so you can focus on sucking.

Are you getting tired?

Don't give up.

It'll all be worth it.

I'm surprised.

It hasn't released its semen already.

Let me look at it for a second.

I mean, it's still in development.

As you can see, it's already a brilliant design, but I guess it has still a few

kinks.

Should I keep going?

I guess not. Look, it's still in development. Let's...

Let's try another model.

I think you're ready for the man.

The man? I thought you said I wouldn't have to cheat on my husband.

Oh, it's not a real man.

At least, not anymore.

It's fascinating what happens to the male body when you inject it with 500

milligrams of anabolic steroids every day for six months.

Go ahead.

Touch it.

Go ahead.

It's my finest creation.

Pure testosterone.

Are you sure this is safe?

Of course.

He won't buy it.

Let's begin.

anything like this.

Focus.

It's gonna come, it's gonna go so deep like that as long as you keep fucking

her balls deep.

How you doing there, Bethany?

Good, good.

An orgasm would be ideal.

See if you can get there.

Check those balls.

Oh yes, they're full.

All right, continue.

Get back in there.

Good grades today.

One more orgasm would be ideal, just so that you can synchronize. If you both

come at the same time, the sperm will go in deeper.

Think you can do that?

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

That's it, Bethany.

Yes.

Yes?

There we go.

That's it.

Keep it in deep.

Deep.

You want all of that sperm deep inside her vagina.

Stay there, Bethany. You're doing great.

Just let it all inseminate you.

Perfect.

Dismissed.

Get her on the slab.

And don't spill any.

Is she awake yet?

Oh, good.

We have one more experiment to conduct.

I think you'll find it very fulfilling.

Oh, there, there, you poor thing.

Case of chronic masturbation.

A rehabilitation program I started a few years ago.

Here we go.

No!

Thank you.
