So, my partner and I had been on the journey to parenthood for three years, and it felt like an uphill battle. We had no children and, after numerous tests, we were left with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. It was frustrating—everything seemed normal, yet we faced roadblocks. The next step was supposed to be IVF, but the nearest clinic was a five-hour drive away with a waiting list of a year. At 39 and 42, we didn’t have the luxury of time, and when COVID hit, I started to believe that maybe a baby just wasn’t in our future.
Then, in late March or early April, I stumbled upon an article about at-home insemination. Skeptical but hopeful, we decided to give it a shot. I received the kit in May, and we waited for the right moment, using it just once when I got a positive ovulation test. On other days, we tried naturally. Imagine our shock! Ten days later, after years of seeing just one line on pregnancy tests, we finally saw two beautiful pink lines. I’m now nine weeks pregnant! I truly believe this was our turning point. It was the only thing we did differently that cycle. I just wanted to express my gratitude for this incredible gift.
