The journey to parenthood can be filled with unexpected challenges, as we’ve seen in the story of one couple who, after five long years of trying to conceive, finally received their big fat positive (BFP). This couple faced a significant hurdle in the form of vaginismus, a condition that made conception particularly difficult. However, discovering the support of the MakeAmom community provided them with hope and resources to overcome their struggles.
Alongside managing vaginismus, one partner underwent surgery to remove their thyroid gland due to cancer, which created additional hormonal challenges. Despite these difficulties, they turned to an ovulation tracker and the at-home insemination options offered by MakeAmom, leading to their successful conception. They shared their elation upon receiving the news of their pregnancy, which they celebrated with friends and family.
Details of Their Journey
- Did you encounter any obstacles? Vaginismus
