We started our journey in July after connecting with our donor through a mutual friend. Thankfully, he was super chill and made the process as smooth as possible by regularly providing fresh sperm each month. We decided to use an at-home insemination kit, which we utilized three times during my ovulation period, tracked meticulously. To our surprise, after just three months, we got a positive pregnancy test! As a same-sex couple, the beginning felt a bit discouraging, but we found tons of online support groups that really helped us emotionally. We are truly thankful to have discovered this method, as we don’t think we would have had such quick success otherwise ♥️.
Did we face any challenges? Yep! I have a tilted uterus, and we even tried IUI at a doctor’s office before switching to at-home insemination. We used the kit for three cycles total.
Congratulations to us! We are beyond thrilled with the news and can’t wait to share our joy with everyone. Thank you for helping us start our family!
P.S. Our little bundle of joy has arrived! We named him Leo ❤️. We appreciate the amazing product that made this possible. It would be great if you could share our story! Thank you for everything ❤️❤️.
