My partner, Jake, and I faced a heartbreaking miscarriage at the beginning of our journey, followed by a challenging period of unexplained infertility. It was incredibly tough for both of us, filled with stress and emotional turmoil. There were months when it just didn’t work out because of the heavy feelings we were carrying. While researching ways to cope with our situation, I stumbled upon at-home insemination methods, which seemed like a great way to “take the edge off.”
Trying this method allowed us to rediscover the joy in each other during this trying time. To our delight, we found out we were pregnant on the very first try! We welcomed our beautiful baby girl last Friday, and we couldn’t be happier.
Details of Our Journey
- Number of cycles using at-home insemination: 1
- Duration of trying before this method: 13-18 months
- Obstacles faced: Male factor, performance anxiety, unexplained infertility, miscarriage, age over 35
A big shoutout to Sarah and Jake for sharing their story with us! We are so thrilled to have played a small role in their journey. It’s stories like theirs that remind us how important it is to relieve some of the pressures that come with trying to conceive.
