Based on recommendations from friends, we decided to try at-home insemination and it led us to our big news!
By the time we decided to expand our family, my partner and I had already been blessed with two wonderful kids. After our youngest turned four, we felt something was missing. Getting pregnant with our girls was a breeze, so we thought it would be easy again. We started tracking my cycle and got busy, but after 2 years and 7 months of trying, we were still empty-handed.
We didn’t want to dive into anything too drastic since we were already fortunate to have two healthy children. One day, our friends, a lovely couple, shared their experience with at-home insemination and encouraged us to give it a shot. We took their advice, and the next cycle was the charm! I’m now 10 weeks pregnant with our little miracle! 🥰
Our Journey in Numbers
How long did we try before this? Over 24 months. What obstacles did we face? Unexplained infertility. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to try something new!
