As a committed couple for nearly a decade and married for a year and a half, Sarah and Jessica decided to start their family by using frozen sperm from a sperm bank. After undergoing three intrauterine inseminations (IUIs) that all ended in disappointment, they began to lose hope. Having spent $6,900 with no success, they sought an alternative solution.
Fortunately, they found a willing known donor and discovered MakeAmom through a simple online search. With the guidance of MakeAmom, they were able to track Sarah’s ovulation using test strips and, on the day of her peak LH surge and the following day, used their at-home insemination method. Just ten days later, they were thrilled to see a faint second line on the pregnancy test, which was confirmed the next day with a digital positive result! Now, Sarah is six weeks and two days pregnant, and they couldn’t be happier. “Thank you, MakeAmom, for helping us achieve our dream!” they exclaimed.
Obstacles Faced:
- PCOS and the need for a sperm donor
- Duration trying before MakeAmom: 13 to 18 months
- Medical interventions attempted: Femara (Letrozole) for IUI
