I am overjoyed to share that our dream has finally come true! We conceived on our very first attempt using the MakeAmom kit! After enduring four unsuccessful IUI procedures costing over $12,000, I have finally received a positive pregnancy test. I am incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement I’ve received throughout this journey. I can’t wait for the coming months as we look forward to expanding our family!
Our Journey…
Initially, I suggested we try using a home insemination method before seeking medical assistance. I already have a child, but my partner was adamant about wanting to do this naturally, using an anonymous donor. After several attempts since September 2018, including four unsuccessful IUI cycles that brought us tears and frustration, we realized we needed to take a different approach. December presented its own challenges when we couldn’t schedule an IUI due to the holiday, and other life circumstances led us to take breaks. Ultimately, we were both excited to embrace the MakeAmom option!
Every month, we carefully tracked my ovulation cycle. I voiced my concerns to our nurse that we were missing our “surge time.” The traditional method required checking ovulation only once in the morning with the second urine of the day, but my peak times often occurred later in the evening, which delayed our insemination attempts. This past month, I tested three times daily and was able to pinpoint the ideal time to try.
We called my brother-in-law, who lives two hours away, and he generously rushed over to assist us. He stayed overnight to help us with two attempts, and we are so grateful for his support. We were a bit nervous asking for his help, but he was honored to participate, ensuring our child would share my partner’s genes. We agreed to keep this arrangement confidential, respecting his wishes.
We are eagerly looking forward to the months ahead as we complete our family!
