We stumbled upon MakeAmom while searching for solutions to our family planning challenges, and although we were initially skeptical, we decided it was worth exploring. I have been living with vaginismus, which makes any form of penetration not only difficult but also excruciatingly painful. For over a decade, I have sought various treatments—counseling, physical therapy, and dilators—without significant improvement. The dream of starting a family felt increasingly out of reach, and while IVF and assisted conception were suggested by our gynecologist, my medical trauma related to gynecology made those options feel daunting.
Then we found MakeAmom and ordered their at-home insemination kit, hoping that the comfort and control of a familiar environment might yield better results. Given my struggles, I was concerned about the process, but the design of the MakeAmom syringe and the generous lubricant we purchased made it manageable.
We diligently tracked my ovulation and followed the straightforward instructions to use the kit twice. To our astonishment, just a short time later, we learned that we were expecting! Our little miracle is due in just two weeks, and we can hardly contain our excitement to welcome her. We are immensely grateful to MakeAmom for helping us achieve what we once thought was impossible, and the inspiring stories from the MakeAmom community fueled our hope.
