Important Considerations for Using MakeAmom
Before You Begin:
Prior to your first use of the MakeAmom syringe, take some time to pull the plunger back and forth. This practice will help you feel more at ease before your initial attempt. When you’re ready to use the syringe with sperm, ensure to push the plunger all the way to the tip to expel any excess air.
Timing is Essential!
For optimal results, it’s recommended to use your first MakeAmom syringe within 12 hours of noticing the first signs of ovulation. Follow this by using your second syringe 18 to 24 hours later.
Wondering how to detect ovulation? We suggest a dual approach:
- Monitor your cervix and cervical mucus closely for the early indicators of ovulation.
- Simultaneously, employ an ovulation predictor kit to confirm your ovulation timing.
For more information on timing, check out our detailed article here.
Important Usage Notes:
- Single-Use Only: MakeAmom syringes and cups are designed for one-time use only. For a deeper understanding of this guideline, you can read more here.
- Air Bubbles Are Fine: While it’s impossible to avoid air bubbles completely during the transfer, it’s best to remove larger bubbles.
Be Patient:
It may take several attempts to achieve pregnancy. We suggest using the MakeAmom kit for four to six cycles before reassessing your options. If you don’t receive a positive result right away, don’t lose hope! Your chances of conceiving increase with each attempt.
Fresh or Frozen Sperm: Your Choice!
You can utilize the MakeAmom kit with either fresh or frozen sperm. If you’re using frozen sperm, find out how in this article. If you’re working with a known donor, this helpful resource can guide you. For fresh sperm, it’s vital to use the sample within one hour of collection for the best outcomes.
Change of Plans?
If your plans change, you can return any unopened MakeAmom kit within 30 days of purchase. For complete details, please refer to our return policy here.
