Doctors recommended that they consider IVF, but their determination led them to try at-home insemination.
My partner and I had been trying to conceive for three years, and during that time, we consulted several doctors. Each one suggested that we look into IVF. However, given my high-risk status, carrying twins would be too much of a financial strain and an added source of stress. Stubborn as I am, I wasn’t ready to take that leap or add to our financial burdens. Instead, I wanted to explore all possible options. After some research, I discovered at-home insemination techniques. We decided to end 2019 on a positive note and start the new year by giving it a shot. To our amazement, just one attempt was all it took, and we found out we were pregnant! It felt like a true miracle and the best gift we could have wished for. We’re incredibly grateful for the chance to grow our family.
