After discontinuing birth control, we anticipated that starting a family would happen within a couple of months. However, twenty-five months later, we were still waiting for that coveted positive test. Each month brought renewed hope, only to end in disappointment. While browsing through various trying-to-conceive (TTC) forums, I stumbled upon an ad for MakeAmom. Intrigued, I explored the success stories and testimonials shared by others, which sparked a newfound optimism in me.
I shared the information with my partner, and we were particularly moved by a testimonial that resonated with our own experiences. We decided to give MakeAmom a shot for at least three months before resorting to more invasive fertility testing and treatments—after all, we had little to lose. Our first month was filled with anticipation and a touch of nervousness. Although that month didn’t end with a positive result, we felt empowered to try again.
When our second MakeAmom kit arrived, we were eager to begin. A few weeks later, at 9 days past ovulation (DPO), we received our first genuine positive test! We were in disbelief, and it still feels surreal. We’re eagerly looking forward to welcoming our baby boy in June!
How long were you trying before MakeAmom? 25 months
