Why Some Sex and the City Episodes Are Surprisingly Relevant to Modern Fertility Journeys
Ever noticed how some things from our favorite shows just stick with us, for better or worse? I was recently reading an intriguing article on Time that dives into the classic show Sex and the City—highlighting the episodes that still hold up today and those that... well, don’t age quite as well. You can check out the original piece here.
Now, why am I bringing up a show about four New York women and their romantic escapades on a fertility blog? Because the way Sex and the City navigates complex, personal topics like relationships, intimacy, and yes, even the desire to start a family, reflects the cultural shifts we’re seeing in how people approach fertility today.
The Timeless vs. The Outdated: A Fertility Perspective
Some episodes of Sex and the City still resonate because they tackled real emotions and challenges—like vulnerability with partners, the pressures of societal expectations, and the quest for control over our own bodies. These themes are very familiar to anyone on a fertility journey, especially those exploring home-based options.
On the flip side, some jokes and plot points feel outdated, especially when viewed through the lens of modern conversations around inclusivity, technology, and autonomy. For example, the old-fashioned stigma around alternative conception methods or the lack of diverse family structures isn’t something that flies today.
Enter the Home Fertility Revolution
This is where incredible resources like MakeAMom’s at-home insemination kits come in. They empower individuals and couples—whether single, LGBTQ+, or otherwise—to take control of their fertility with privacy, dignity, and ease. Gone are the days when conception had to be a clinical, intimidating process or clouded by outdated taboos.
MakeAMom’s thoughtfully designed kits, from CryoBaby for frozen sperm samples to BabyMaker for those with specific sensitivities, are not just innovative products—they symbolize a cultural shift toward inclusivity and personal empowerment that even Sex and the City couldn't have fully anticipated.
Why Does This Matter to You?
If you’re navigating your own journey, watching those old episodes might feel like a mixed bag—some moments comforting and familiar, others frustratingly behind the times. But recognizing that evolution is important. Fertility support, tools, and conversations have progressed, just like our favorite shows have.
You’re not alone if the idea of clinical fertility treatments feels daunting or impersonal. Many are discovering how accessible, discreet, and effective home insemination can be. The 67% average success rate MakeAMom reports is a hopeful reminder that technology and compassion are working hand in hand.
Let’s Talk Real Talk
- Feeling overwhelmed? You’re allowed to. Fertility journeys are deeply personal and often emotional.
- Wondering if you’re “doing it right”? There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, which is why customizable, reusable kits are game changers.
- Looking for community and connection? Many find comfort in sharing honest stories and expert insights.

Just like Sex and the City showed us the messy, beautiful complexities of life and love, your fertility path will have its ups and downs—but it’s your story.
