Have you ever witnessed a moment that stopped you in your tracks and made you rethink everything?

On a seemingly ordinary Tuesday in Ruidoso, New Mexico, visitors at a local brewery found themselves stunned. They watched, horrified and helpless, as a house was swept away by rushing floodwaters. You can see the jaw-dropping footage here: WATCH: House swept away by rushing floodwaters in New Mexico.

Why am I opening this post with such a dramatic moment? Because that image — that house being carried off by nature’s force — truly struck a chord with me. And not just because it’s terrifying to watch, but because it reminded me so much of the rollercoaster that is the journey to parenthood.

Life’s floods don’t discriminate. They show up unexpectedly, shaking your sense of control, uprooting your plans, and forcing you to adapt or face heartbreak. For those of us trying to conceive, especially through assisted methods, these emotional floods can feel overwhelming.

But just like the courageous people standing by watching that house drift away, we learn something powerful: resilience is possible, even in the face of devastation.

What Floodwaters Teach Us About Fertility Journeys

Trying to build a family isn’t always a straightforward path. Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, medical conditions, or life circumstances, it often feels like you’re fighting against a current much stronger than yourself.

• Sometimes treatments don’t work on the first try.
• Sometimes traditional medical settings feel intimidating or inaccessible.
• Sometimes, you need alternatives that fit your unique needs.

That’s why seeing innovations like at-home insemination kits has been such a game-changer for many. They offer a way to take fertility care into your own hands, literally and figuratively.
