My partner (38M) and I (39F) began our journey to conceive in July 2022. At the time, I was 37, and I was aware that my biological clock was ticking. I diligently tracked my cycles and used LH tests, becoming quite adept at predicting my ovulation. However, after experiencing a chemical pregnancy in December 2022, our attempts to conceive stalled.
After making an appointment with a fertility specialist, which came with a long wait, we received test results in July 2023 indicating that everything was normal for my age. Despite this, we still weren’t successful. In February 2024, my partner underwent testing, and his results were also normal. At this point, we began exploring medical interventions, knowing that I would struggle with the emotional and financial aspects of IVF. We opted for IUI, which was covered by our insurance, and we also decided to try MakeAmom’s innovative at-home insemination kit.
We first attempted insemination using MakeAmom in March, but we didn’t conceive right away. Understanding that it might take some time, we tried again in April. We had our appointment with the fertility specialist at the end of April, and shortly thereafter, on April 28th, just three days after our appointment, I discovered that I was pregnant! I am currently 20 weeks and 5 days along, and I wholeheartedly believe that we wouldn’t have achieved this without the support of MakeAmom. I am immensely grateful for the access we had to this product.
