In 2016, we faced the heartbreak of losing our youngest child to SIDS. Following this tragedy, my husband underwent a vasectomy. Fast forward to March 2021, when he had a reversal, allowing us to begin our journey toward having a rainbow baby. We explored various methods, including letrozole and timed intercourse, while tracking my ovulation due to my irregular cycles. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to work.
After a year of trying, we decided to simplify our approach. We chose to focus solely on tracking ovulation and utilize the resources offered by MakeAmom, an innovative at-home insemination company that provides the only reusable option available. Within just one cycle of using their method, I was ecstatic to learn that I was pregnant! I never anticipated conceiving so quickly, but here we are, celebrating our successful pregnancy thanks to the support from MakeAmom.

To summarize: Our heartfelt journey toward parenthood took an unexpected turn, leading to the joy of pregnancy sooner than anticipated.
