My partner Alex and I were ready to start our family, but the options we explored at the hospital just didn’t fit our needs. We wanted to use a known donor and try to conceive without fertility medications, which led us to seek alternatives online. That’s when we discovered at-home insemination!
After diving into various testimonials and information online, we felt encouraged by the supportive community. Whenever we had questions (and we had plenty!), we received prompt and thorough responses that made us feel much more at ease.
We ordered our first kit to kick off our conception journey in August 2022. Due to some logistical hiccups with our donor, we had to wait until September to start. But on November 12, 2022, after just three cycles of trying, we finally got our very first positive pregnancy test! It was so faint that we almost thought it was a fluke. However, the next morning, we took another test, and there it was—a clear and bright BFP!
On July 29, 2023, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world. She has truly been the perfect addition to our lives, and we couldn’t be happier. We wouldn’t have accomplished our dream without the support we found through the at-home insemination process!
As we approach our little one’s first birthday, we find ourselves reflecting on this incredible journey and feeling immensely grateful.

In summary, our route to parenthood was unique, but with the right tools and support, we found success and joy.
