In 2017, Sarah and Mia crossed paths and quickly realized they were destined to be lifelong partners. Sarah proposed to Mia on her 30th birthday in 2018 during a romantic gondola ride in her hometown. They set their wedding date for March 21, 2020, but just three days prior, the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to cancel. Instead, they opted for a small, intimate ceremony with a few close family members and friends, marking a beautiful moment in their journey together.
A year later, they made the decision to start a family. After finding a local OB-GYN, they scheduled an appointment to assess their fertility. Sadly, both women were diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which complicates conception, and Mia was also found to have endometriosis, further challenging their hopes of starting a family. Nevertheless, they refused to lose hope. Their OB-GYN, who also specialized in fertility, prescribed medications to optimize their chances of conceiving. Although success was not guaranteed, they were determined to try.
After a year of medication, Sarah began researching options for at-home conception. This is when they discovered MakeAmom, an innovative company that offers a reusable insemination kit. Intrigued by the success stories they found, they decided to give it a try. Sarah took the lead first, given her age and the quality of her eggs, and they attempted insemination for five consecutive months during her ovulation period. Unfortunately, they faced disappointment each month with negative pregnancy tests, which took an emotional toll on both of them.
Finally, they decided to give Mia a chance to try insemination. Due to their conflicting work schedules, time was limited, but one day they seized a half-hour window to make it happen. After collecting the donor sample, Sarah rushed back home—only to realize she had kept the sample cool by blasting the air conditioning instead of warming it with her body heat. Concerned that she had ruined their chances, they were left feeling anxious about the outcome.
The following month, however, brought a pleasant surprise. Mia, who is typically regular, found herself a day late and experiencing unusual cramps. They decided to take a pregnancy test, and to their astonishment, it was positive! Overwhelmed with joy, they embraced each other for ten minutes, tears of happiness flowing freely. Thanks to the assistance of MakeAmom, they were able to conceive. Their baby, due May 9, 2024, is a testament to their love and perseverance.
