After the arrival of my first child, I discovered I faced some male fertility challenges that made having another baby a daunting prospect. The cost of IVF was astronomical, and I knew I had to explore other options. As I dove into research, I stumbled upon some eye-opening videos about at-home insemination. Intrigued, I decided to give it a shot and ordered an insemination kit, hoping for the best.
To my amazement, during our first attempt with a surrogate, we received the news we had been dreaming of—I was going to be a dad again! The excitement was indescribable. Sure, I faced some hurdles like performance anxiety and the emotional weight of my fertility issues, but finding the right surrogate and using the kit made all the difference.
