I’m thrilled to share that my partner and I are expecting twins! After two challenging years of trying to conceive (TTC), we finally received our long-awaited news.
Due to my PCOS, I struggle with ovulation, and my partner often felt the pressure of our TTC journey. The stress and emotional rollercoaster, combined with the financial burden of fertility treatments, made the experience tough. Despite our efforts, we saw no positive results in those two years.
Then, while scrolling through social media, I came across a kit designed for at-home insemination. It instantly caught my attention, and we decided to give it a try. On our very first cycle using the kit, we were on vacation at Walt Disney World for my partner’s birthday. Thanks to the at-home insemination method, we were able to navigate our TTC days without any stress while having fun.
After returning home, just two weeks later, we got our first positive test! In fact, I took six tests that day—talk about excitement! We joke with our friends and family that it was magic or pixie dust that helped us, but we know it was our new approach to TTC that made the difference.
I can’t express enough gratitude for helping us realize our dream of parenthood. We’re over the moon with joy!
