The story of our path to pregnancy is one filled with challenges, misdiagnoses, and medical hurdles. Rather than dwell on the past, which can be quite painful, I want to focus on the hope we found in our journey. In 2020, after 14 years of marriage and countless attempts to start a family, my partner and I discovered the MakeAmom kits. Unfortunately, our initial efforts were unsuccessful.
After several months of trying, we sought help from a fertility clinic, where we learned that my struggles stemmed from a microperforated hymen—a condition that had been misdiagnosed as pelvic pain disorders and anxiety since my youth. In 2021, we faced an even more daunting challenge: my partner contracted Covid-19, which severely affected his heart and lungs, ultimately requiring heart surgery in January 2022 to save his life.
In July 2022, I finally underwent surgery to address my microperforated hymen and the related issues that had long been overlooked. With my partner on heavy cardiac medication, we decided to give the MakeAmom kit one last try. By December 2022, we were cleared to attempt conception again, and to our joy, we tested positive on our very first month of trying in January 2023. We are incredibly grateful for the support from MakeAmom!
