After three long years of trying to start a family, my partner and I are overjoyed to share that we finally received our BIG FAT POSITIVE! We were all set to begin our IUI journey this month, but thanks to our recent success, we can skip that step. Instead of facing what could have been a tough October, we’ll be celebrating the month we announce our pregnancy!
We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility, which left us feeling hopeless and stressed. When we decided to give at-home insemination a try, we were filled with uncertainty but also a glimmer of hope. We want to inspire others who might be in similar situations. Feel free to keep our names anonymous; we’re just thrilled that we took the leap and found success!

We are absolutely ecstatic for you both, Sarah and Jake! Your story resonates deeply with us, as we experienced a similar journey without the help of at-home insemination. Our first attempt led to our daughter, and thankfully, we later welcomed our son using the same method you just tried. Unexplained infertility is incredibly challenging, and sharing your journey is important; it provides hope and encouragement to so many. Wishing you a safe pregnancy and a wonderful new addition to your family!
