In December 2018, Jenna experienced her first loss after conceiving naturally. Determined to start a family, Jenna and her partner decided to explore alternative methods. They turned to a donor and utilized at-home insemination. During their search for effective options, they discovered MakeAmom, a company providing an innovative reusable insemination kit.
Previously, they had tried a syringe purchased online in August 2020, but it was unsuccessful. However, this time they opted for the MakeAmom kit. They inseminated on the first high reading on a Clearblue test, the day of the peak, and again the day after, for a total of three inseminations. On the peak day, they used the MakeAmom kit once, followed by a soft cup to enhance the chances of conception. For the other two attempts, the donor inseminated directly into the soft cup.
Jenna and her partner were overjoyed to learn they conceived during this cycle, proudly announcing that their baby was conceived in June, coinciding with Pride Month! They joyfully refer to their little one as their true rainbow baby, with an estimated due date in February 2022.
If you’re interested in the journey of at-home insemination, MakeAmom offers invaluable resources such as a week-by-week guide on what to expect and how to optimize your chances of pregnancy.
