When Emily and Jake decided last summer to begin their journey toward parenthood, they were acutely aware of the challenges they might face. Jake experienced performance anxiety, which often added stress to the process of trying to conceive. To avoid the common frustrations associated with traditional methods, they turned to MakeAmom to assist in their conception journey. They began using the at-home insemination method in October and were overjoyed to discover they were pregnant by March! Given their age and Jake’s stress levels, they felt incredibly fortunate that it only took six months to conceive. Their little one is expected to arrive just in time for Thanksgiving!
