After two years of attempting to conceive, Emily and her partner Mark were eager to start a family together. While Mark had no biological children, Emily had two older kids from a previous relationship, leading them to believe that expanding their family would be straightforward. Unfortunately, after two years of trying without success, they began exploring the option of IVF and discovered Mark had low sperm count and mobility issues.
Feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of IVF treatments, Emily wanted to explore alternative options before diving into that journey. While browsing social media, she came across MakeAmom, a company specializing in at-home insemination kits. Intrigued, they ordered their kit and received it in early March. After tracking her ovulation, Emily decided to give MakeAmom a try, and to their amazement, it worked on the very first attempt! They are thrilled to announce that their MakeAmom baby is due on December 18, 2021. 😁
