Clearblue® OVULATION TESTS
BLESSED TO GET PREGNANT
ON OUR SECOND ATTEMPT
Caitlyn and I always knew that one day we would grow our family together. We weren’t sure what that would look like or what the journey entailed at the time. We were married for a little over a year when we started having “the talk” and getting serious about the discussion of having children. We knew we needed to research multiple things, as neither one of us would just unexpectedly wake up pregnant one morning. There were three major things we needed to investigate; a reproductive medicine group, a sperm donor bank, and the different artificial insemination options. After many discussions we figured we wanted to go with IUI. We choose IUI for a few different reasons. The cost of IUI compared to IVF was more in our budget at the time. Also, IUI is a lot easier on the body than IVF. Although we chose IUI there was no guarantee that it would work for us.
We selected a donor and waited for the next cycle. There were SO many ovulation test kits on the shelves and that was pretty stressful for me. After a lot of research I went with Clearblue®. Clearblue® showed a clear picture when it was go time! We were blessed to get pregnant on our second attempt and naturally used a Clearblue® pregnancy test.
We are now ready to grow our family even more and will be using Clearblue® again to help us in the process.

Having a miscarriage is a sad experience and sometimes there is no explanation as to why it’s happened. The fact is that miscarriage is possibly more common than you think with 10-25% of pregnancies ending miscarriage. It may be comforting to know you’re not alone.
