For seven long years, my partner and I pursued our dream of starting a family. Our journey took us through numerous options: IUI, IVF, and adoption, yet nothing seemed to work. We spent over $80,000 out of pocket—not including what our insurance covered. About a year ago, we gave MakeAmom a try for a few cycles, but we didn’t achieve our desired results. After experiencing another setback with adoption, we decided to give MakeAmom another chance. Yesterday, we received the most incredible news: a BIG FAT POSITIVE! While it might be early to share such exciting news, it feels like the hardest part of our journey is finally behind us—now, we’re ready for the next adventure!
I can hardly express how grateful I am for having discovered this option. If only we had started with MakeAmom sooner!
Details of Our Journey
- How long were you trying before MakeAmom? 7 years
- Did you try anything at a doctor’s office? Clomid, Femara or Letrozole, HSG, IUI, IVF
- How many cycles did you use MakeAmom? 4
UPDATE
Just wanted to share an update! Our sweet, charming boy, “Eli,” was born on July 22, 2020. Words cannot express our gratitude! MakeAmom has given us the gift that completes our family and brings me joy every day.
To add to our story, from the moment we received the positive test to our maternity shoot and beyond, none of this would have been possible without MakeAmom. We truly feel like part of their family, and they will always be a part of ours!
