By late March, I began researching at-home insemination options and stumbled upon some helpful information about home kits. I watched a few videos and shared them with my partner, and after discussing it, we thought it was worth a shot. In April, I ordered two kits, but by the time they arrived, I had already ovulated. So in May, I closely tracked my ovulation, and on my peak day, May 7, we tried the home insemination just once. To our joy, we received a big fat positive (BFP) on May 23!
Now, at 41, I’m excitedly awaiting the arrival of our first baby on January 29, 2018! Huge thanks to the home insemination kit for helping us realize our dream of parenthood! Sending a heartfelt shoutout to Sarah and Mike from Kingston, NY, for their inspiring story and amazing photography!
Update:
Welcome to the world, baby Isabella! We’re so grateful to Sarah and Mike for sharing their journey with us.
For anyone facing similar struggles, remember that every journey is unique, and there are many resources available to support you. You can check out this article about fetal brain development to learn more about the early stages of your baby’s growth. If you’re interested in understanding more about the process, this page on artificial insemination is an excellent resource too.
In summary, after four unsuccessful IUIs, we found success through home insemination, and it changed our lives forever. Each story is different, but there’s hope out there.
