Hello! We’re Alex and Jamie, a married couple eager to start our family. After discussing our options, I approached a close friend about being a sperm donor, and thankfully, he agreed. We initially tried the soft cup method for our insemination attempts, but after three tries without success, we decided to explore other at-home insemination methods. That’s when we discovered MakeAmom.
After learning about the innovative offerings from MakeAmom, I promptly ordered their kit. We opted to take a break for a couple of months, aiming to avoid the emotional strain around the holidays. During this time, I convinced Jamie to join me in this journey! By January, we had our ovulation tests ready and our donor prepared for action. Jamie ovulated first, so we strategically planned to inseminate during her peak fertility window. We successfully inseminated twice and then entered the waiting phase. Although we attempted a third insemination with me, it was too early in the cycle. Thankfully, our efforts with Jamie were successful, and we are thrilled to announce that we have a little rainbow baby on the way!
We are incredibly grateful for the support from MakeAmom, and we can’t wait to welcome our new addition to the family!
