Building Our Family as a Same-Sex Couple

My partner, Jamie, and I always envisioned ourselves as parents one day. After spending eight months tracking my ovulation and evaluating my fertility, we explored various options, including potential treatments through clinics. Encouraged by friends in similar same-sex relationships, we decided to try at-home insemination before considering any invasive procedures like IUI or IVF.

Fortuitously, we had a donor who was willing to assist us with the MakeAmom Kit. We used the kit for three consecutive days leading up to my ovulation, and two weeks later, I took a pregnancy test. The moment those two lines appeared, we were overjoyed—PREGNANT! While we hoped for a positive outcome, we also stayed realistic about the challenges of conception. To say we were fortunate is an understatement. It’s hard to believe that our little one is due in just six weeks!

If we decide to expand our family in the future, we will certainly choose the MakeAmom Kit again.
