Overcoming Challenges While Trying for Baby #3 with MakeAmom

Approximately two years ago, my partner and I began our journey to conceive our third child. I was diagnosed with PCOS and Hyperprolactinemia, which meant I was dealing with ovarian cysts and elevated lactation hormones—making the prospect of pregnancy quite daunting. Over this period, I tried numerous medications to manage my hormones, weight gain associated with PCOS, and the condition itself.

After much trial and error, we discovered that while my body was indeed ovulating, it was never on the expected day! This inconsistency was incredibly frustrating. Eventually, a friend introduced us to MakeAmom, and it truly transformed our experience. We decided to try their at-home insemination kit and ordered additional ovulation tests to ensure we were prepared for my next cycle.

I meticulously followed all instructions: I tracked my cycle length, began testing at the right time, and took daily tests at the same hour, documenting the results with photos. Finally, when I received that positive ovulation test, we used the MakeAmom kit right away! Although I planned to wait the full ten days before testing for pregnancy, I began feeling ill by day eight. Initially, I thought it was just the post-birthday exhaustion from celebrating our daughter’s third birthday. The next day, however, I felt the same way, prompting me to test on day nine. To my amazement, I saw a positive result, and tears of joy streamed down my face!

To surprise my partner, I created a special box to reveal the news as an early Father’s Day gift. Thank you, MakeAmom! To anyone facing infertility challenges, remember that you are not alone.
