After an arduous year filled with attempts to conceive, including five unsuccessful IUIs and countless moments of heartache, we are overjoyed to announce that we finally received our positive pregnancy test! Our success came after using the at-home insemination kit from MakeAmom, and we couldn’t be happier. We are eager to share our experience with healthcare professionals, pelvic floor therapists, same-sex couples, and anyone else who may be facing challenges in their journey to parenthood.
My partner, Lisa, has been dealing with vaginismus for eight years, which made the process of traditional IUI procedures particularly daunting. After witnessing her struggle through five failed attempts, I knew we needed to explore a more natural approach. The MakeAmom kit not only proved to be effective but was also thoughtfully designed and easy to use. This significantly eased our anxiety, allowing us to enjoy the insemination process without concerns about discomfort or complications. It felt as easy as using a tampon—just much more exciting!
I shared our story with my pelvic floor therapist, who was thrilled to learn about MakeAmom. She plans to recommend it to her other patients who are trying to conceive while dealing with similar challenges. We hope our journey inspires others to persevere, as all the struggles were undeniably worth it. The supportive community surrounding MakeAmom has been incredibly encouraging throughout our experience.
Thank you, MakeAmom!
