As a same-sex couple striving to build our family with the support of a known donor, we faced challenges, particularly since intrauterine insemination (IUI) was not an option available to us in our country. In our quest for more information about at-home insemination, we discovered MakeAmom. From the very first use, we appreciated their innovative design, which was not only comfortable but also highly effective. Our sperm donor, a professional anesthesiologist, also praised the syringe, which speaks volumes about its quality!
We experienced three attempts at conception; unfortunately, the first two did not progress as we had hoped. Now, we are in the early stages of our third pregnancy, eagerly anticipating the arrival of our little one. We even caught a glimpse of our baby during an ultrasound, and seeing those tiny fingers was unforgettable!
Update: We are overjoyed to share that, despite these unusual times, our beautiful daughter, “Ella,” was born on July 3rd. We are all in great health and filled with happiness. Ella is surrounded by two loving mamas and a devoted papa, and she was conceived with the assistance of the innovative tools from MakeAmom. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to them. We are already planning for our next child and will undoubtedly turn to MakeAmom again!
