My partner and I began our journey towards parenthood two years into our relationship. After being diagnosed with PCOS, I anticipated that conceiving might be difficult due to my health condition. Following several years of negative tests, we decided it was essential to evaluate my partner’s fertility as well. The results revealed low motility and morphology, leaving us feeling disheartened about our chances of starting a family.
With IVF being financially unfeasible for us, I began exploring alternative options and discovered MakeAmom. The support and service I received from them right from my initial inquiry was exceptional. Choosing MakeAmom not only made sense for our budget, but it also allowed us to try insemination in the comfort of our home, creating a relaxed environment for both of us. To our immense joy, we finally conceived during our third attempt using MakeAmom!
Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to MakeAmom for providing us with this opportunity. I genuinely believe that without their assistance, we would not have received the positive test that led to our pregnancy, which is expected in December 2020!
