It took Emily and Jake four and a half years to welcome their daughter into the world, a journey marked by challenges and perseverance. Initially, they turned to conventional methods at a fertility clinic, successfully conceiving through intrauterine insemination (IUI). However, when their daughter was just six months old, they decided to try for another child. After 12 unsuccessful IUIs and two cycles with a sperm donor, they faced the sobering news that Jake was clinically sterile.
Determined to expand their family, Emily and Jake sought alternatives for at-home insemination but felt overwhelmed by where to start. A simple online search led them to discover MakeAmom, a company that specializes in at-home insemination and offers the unique benefit of a reusable option. Intrigued by the possibilities, they explored the How It Works section and were encouraged by the informative resources available.
With newfound hope, they decided to proceed with at-home insemination using a sperm donor. To their delight, just two cycles later, Emily found out she was pregnant!
Update (09/18): “We are thrilled to announce that our little miracle arrived on August 22 at 3:31 AM, weighing 7 pounds 5 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. The pregnancy and delivery went smoothly, and now that baby Mia is three weeks old, her personality is already shining through. We are immensely grateful to MakeAmom for providing the resources that helped us conceive. It still feels surreal to hold our precious girl in our arms!”
Love,
The Smith Family – Edmonton, AB
