After experiencing five unsuccessful IUIs, I was overjoyed to discover I was pregnant on my very first attempt at home insemination!
My partner and I initially sought help at a fertility clinic, but after those five disappointing attempts, we knew it wasn’t the right path for us. That’s when we decided to explore different options. I came across a home insemination kit, and it reignited a sense of hope that had faded during our clinic visits. We were fortunate to have a close friend who was excited to be our donor, which made the experience even more special.
To say we were surprised when I became pregnant after just one month of trying is an understatement. There were so many tears of joy, and nine months later, we welcomed our beautiful son into the world. I can’t express how grateful I am for this journey. As a queer woman, I never imagined that we could conceive in the comfort of our own home with just the two of us. It was a truly invaluable experience.
