We are thrilled that you are embarking on your journey to motherhood! One of the earliest success stories from the MakeAmom community came from a determined single mother by choice. As you may have discovered, there are abundant resources online about becoming a single parent by choice; here, we will focus on how to utilize the MakeAmom Kit as a solo parent-to-be.
How Does MakeAmom Work?
The MakeAmom kit includes a syringe designed to deliver sperm close to the cervix. This innovative kit features two syringes and two proprietary collection cups, allowing for two insemination attempts per kit.
Can You Use MakeAmom on Your Own?
The answer is a resounding yes! The kit is crafted to be user-friendly and comfortable—similar to the experience of using a tampon. Even if you haven’t used a tampon before—like many in the MakeAmom community—this process is straightforward and easy to navigate independently.
What Else Should You Know?
Each MakeAmom kit contains two syringes and a specimen cup, along with comprehensive instructions. Please note that sperm is not included. Reviewing the detailed instructions provided in your kit can be very helpful. Essentially, you will suction the sperm into the syringe, lie down comfortably (perhaps with a few pillows under your hips), and then release the sperm into your vagina. It’s designed to be simple enough for you to do on your own!
Finding a Sperm Donor
If you are looking for a sperm donor, consider joining the MakeAmom community on Facebook, where you can connect with others and find potential donors. Additionally, you can learn more about the at-home insemination process by visiting MakeAmom’s official website, which offers the only reusable option available.
