As a mother of two boys from a previous relationship, I always knew I wanted to expand my family with my partner, Mark. After a year of trying, Mark began to reach out to friends and family to discuss our challenges. A colleague suggested we explore options with MakeAmom, sharing their positive experience with at-home insemination. Initially, I was doubtful and didn’t think it would make a significant difference.
We decided to order the MakeAmom kit and closely monitored my ovulation cycle. After getting a clear positive result on my ovulation test, we felt encouraged to proceed. Unfortunately, we couldn’t use the second syringe on the following day, which fueled my skepticism. However, Mark reassured me that this option was far more economical compared to the doctor visits we had been considering.
Ten days after ovulation, I started testing for pregnancy, but I missed the first few positives. By 14 days past ovulation, I was elated to see a bold positive result. The line appeared almost instantly, and disbelief quickly turned to joy as I confirmed my pregnancy with nine positive tests! The waiting for my first appointment has been the hardest part. Some friends speculate that I might be having twins due to my small bump and intense morning sickness. I can hardly wait to learn more on August 6th!
