I had been struggling with vaginismus for a couple of years, but starting a family was always a dream of ours. After several years of marriage, we were anxious about the possibility of conceiving naturally, especially given my challenges with painful intercourse. We explored various options to improve my condition, yet most seemed lengthy and uncomfortable. Eager to have children, I discovered MakeAmom through online research and decided to give it a try!
When our first two kits arrived, we were filled with excitement, although my husband was initially a bit skeptical. We planned a vacation to create a more relaxed environment for our first attempt, but unfortunately, I didn’t ovulate that month, which often occurs when I travel by air. Despite using the kit during my expected ovulation window, we didn’t achieve a positive result.
Determined to succeed the following month, we ordered seven kits to maximize our chances during my fertile days. We diligently monitored my ovulation cycles and, upon receiving the smiley face on our ovulation kit, we utilized our MakeAmom kit throughout my four fertile days. I was careful to follow the instructions, but after the previous month’s disappointment, I hesitated to get my hopes up. A few weeks later, however, I sensed something different in my body. On a whim, I took a pregnancy test, and to my astonishment, the two lines I had been longing for appeared! We were pregnant!
I shared the joyful news with my husband, and we were over the moon. A few weeks later, during our first ultrasound, we received the surprise that we were expecting twins! I am thrilled to share that we are now nearing the third trimester, eagerly anticipating the arrival of our twin girls.
For us, MakeAmom has been a lifesaver. Coming from a South Asian background, discussing intimacy issues can be quite challenging. This experience has allowed us to start our family discreetly, avoiding the need for costly fertility treatments that may not have been necessary. Without MakeAmom, we might have felt forced to explore those options.
