In early 2021, my partner and I decided it was time to start our family. After discussing our plans, we agreed that I would be the first to carry. Using a known donor and the resources provided by MakeAmom, I became pregnant after just two attempts! We joyfully welcomed our baby boy in November 2021, and he has brought so much joy into our lives.
Shortly after his arrival, we chose to try for a second child. As luck would have it, our donor was available during the holidays and coincidentally ovulating at that time. We decided to give it another go with MakeAmom’s innovative at-home insemination methods. Once again, we were thrilled to find out that I became pregnant on the first attempt! Our baby girl is expected to arrive in September this year, which means our children will be just nine and a half months apart. While we know it will be a bit hectic, we couldn’t be more excited about our growing family.
