After six years on birth control, Jenna and Mark decided to try for their second child. They used at-home insemination kits in August and September, and guess what? They got a positive pregnancy test three weeks ago! Jenna shared how easy it was to use the kit, making the journey to conception feel like a breeze.
Why At-Home Insemination?
What led them to explore at-home insemination? Both Jenna and Mark travel for work, and Jenna was diligently tracking her cycles with a fertility tracker. She had her fertile window down to a tight 48 hours. When Mark had to leave on a business trip right as her window opened, they didn’t want to miss out on trying that month. So, he left a sample before heading out, ensuring they didn’t miss their chance.
With Jenna being 36 and Mark 37, they were conscious of not wanting to take too long to conceive, especially given their son’s age of 6. After a bit of initial hesitation from Mark about the kit, he quickly warmed up to the idea after seeing how straightforward the process was.
Exciting News!
They recently had their first ultrasound and shared the exciting news that they’re expecting their baby on June 16th, which happens to be Father’s Day! Jenna described the little one as looking like a gummy bear right now. They’re both grateful for an effective and user-friendly option for at-home insemination.
