In 2019, Canadian couple Sarah and Jason successfully used MakeAmom to conceive their daughter, Emma. When it came time to expand their family, they chose to rely on the same innovative methods for their second child. This time, however, their sperm donor, Jason’s brother, lived six hours away, which presented some logistical challenges.
With Sarah’s ovulation cycle fluctuating by 2-3 days, the couple worried about coordinating time off work and traveling with their 16-month-old during the frigid Canadian winter. Despite these concerns, their winter trips turned into enjoyable adventures, even when temperatures plunged to -46 degrees Celsius during their second journey!
After just two cycles, the couple was thrilled to receive a positive pregnancy test. They were pleasantly surprised by how quickly it happened, especially since they had prepared for a longer journey, having taken three cycles during their first experience.
On October 25, their son, Henry, was born, and the couple feels incredibly grateful. They appreciate MakeAmom for offering an affordable and effective at-home insemination option, allowing them to skip the fertility clinic while using a known donor. “Thank you, MakeAmom, for making our family dreams come true!” says Sarah.
