After 18 months of trying to conceive, Sarah and Tom decided to explore their options with MakeAmom. Initially, they were thrilled to discover they were pregnant shortly after starting their journey in July 2020, but their excitement was short-lived when they experienced an early miscarriage. In December 2020, they conceived again, only to face a missed miscarriage that required a D&C. Following these two heartbreaking losses, they found themselves struggling to conceive.
In November 2021, they consulted a reproductive endocrinologist (RE) who performed a minor surgery but advised against further treatments unless they remained unsuccessful for 4-5 months. With renewed hope, Sarah and Tom began trying again. By the third month, they decided to give MakeAmom a chance. They figured that if they didn’t succeed, they would soon consider IUI, and trying MakeAmom’s method would be a more affordable first step.
After just two cycles using MakeAmom’s at-home insemination kit, they were overjoyed to discover they were pregnant once more and are now nearing their second trimester!
