After stopping birth control, we thought it would take just a few months to welcome our first child. Fast forward 25 months, and we were still waiting for that elusive positive test. Month after month, we held onto hope, only to face disappointment. One day, as I browsed through trying-to-conceive forums, an ad for an at-home insemination kit caught my eye. I dove into the success stories and testimonials, feeling a flicker of hope ignite within me. I shared these stories with my partner, Jake, and we both resonated with a video that addressed the emotional ups and downs of trying to conceive.
We decided to give this method a shot for three months before diving into the world of fertility testing and treatments—what did we have to lose? The first month was filled with anticipation and a sprinkle of anxiety. We had so much optimism! The month ended just like the previous ones, but this time, we felt empowered to keep trying. When our second kit arrived, we were ready to go again.
Then came that magical day—9 days past ovulation (DPO)—when we saw our first “real” positive result! We were in disbelief, and honestly, we still are at times. We’re eagerly counting down to June, when our baby boy is set to arrive! A massive thank you to the at-home insemination process for helping us on this journey.
How long were we trying before? 25 months. How many cycles did we use the kit? Just 2.
