Myth: At home insemination is basically “one quick try” and then you either get pregnant or you don’t. Reality: It’s a repeatable process that works best when you treat it like a plan: timing, setup, and communication. The internet loves baby rumors and surprise announcements, but real-life attempts usually look like calendars, boundaries, and a…

Before you try at home insemination, run this quick checklist: Timing plan: OPKs ready, and you know what a positive looks like for your brand.

One week it’s celebrity bump buzz. The next week it’s a podcast warning about misleading fertility hope. If you’re trying to conceive, that noise can land right in your chest.

It’s hard to miss how fertility talk is everywhere right now. Between…

Before you try at home insemination, run this quick checklist: Consent + documentation: everyone involved agrees in writing, including donor expectations.
