My partner and I were always eager to start a family. After preparing ourselves and reaching a stage where we felt ready, we assumed that once I stopped using birth control, conception would happen quickly. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Month after month passed with disappointment, and after a year, we decided to undergo preliminary fertility testing. The results showed that both of us were healthy and functioning normally. I began taking medication to enhance my chances of ovulation, as my cycles were often irregular, lasting around 40 days, which made predicting ovulation challenging.
Another obstacle we faced was my partner’s struggle with performance anxiety. Our mutual desire for a child became overwhelming. Despite trying to keep things playful, the pressure of “timed” intercourse turned the experience into a stressful ordeal. Each time my partner faced difficulties, he felt like he was letting us down, which only compounded the issue and added strain to our relationship.
That’s when I discovered MakeAmom. I was hopeful that their services could help us in two ways: improving our chances of conception while alleviating some pressure from my partner. With their at-home insemination solutions, my partner could provide a specimen independently, reducing the stress of performance expectations.
Our first attempt with MakeAmom was a turning point. My partner felt an immediate sense of relief and produced a specimen with ease. For the first time in a long while, he felt optimistic that this could work for us. After four months using MakeAmom, we received the incredible news—I was pregnant! When I first saw that faint positive line, my partner was skeptical, unable to believe it until we confirmed it with a digital test. The joy we felt was indescribable; we were excited to welcome a new life into our family.
MakeAmom changed our lives, providing an effective solution for our conception journey without incurring the costs associated with other fertility treatments. We couldn’t be more thrilled about this little miracle!
