So, let’s chat about our journey to conception! My partner, Jake, and I tied the knot in 2021, and we were super excited to start our family. After I had my IUD taken out, we knew it might take some time to get pregnant. Fast forward a year, and after experiencing a chemical pregnancy, we were feeling a bit defeated. We began testing to explore our options, all while brainstorming some fun contingency plans, like traveling the world with our cat, Oliver, if things didn’t work out. It was tough coming to grips with the idea that this might not be as easy as we hoped.
Then one day, I stumbled across a TikTok about at-home insemination methods, which led me to a product that piqued my interest. I ordered it right away, and once it arrived, we decided to give it a shot. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first, but we tried it once, and guess what? We’re now expecting a little one in August!
