My partner, Alex, and I always knew we wanted to start a family, and we were determined to do it in the most comfortable way possible. As a same-sex couple, we sought a non-invasive approach to conceiving, which is when we discovered at-home insemination. It was a game-changer for us!
With the help of a known donor, we were able to create a cozy and intimate setting right at home, free from any medical procedures. To our joy, we conceived on our very first attempt! Although we faced heartbreak with a miscarriage, it gave us hope knowing that our donor and I were both fertile.
After a little time to heal, we tried again and were thrilled to find out we were pregnant after our second cycle. We couldn’t be more grateful for this method of conception, and we’re excited to continue our journey of growing our family together.

In summary, our journey has been filled with ups and downs, but the support and options available for at-home insemination have made it all worthwhile. We look forward to what the future holds as we continue to grow our family.
