Netflix just dropped a ‘Messy Girl Summer’ category, and honestly? It’s a vibe—but it also missed some bangers. If you haven’t checked it out, it’s a quirky new row of recommendations celebrating the gloriously chaotic and unapologetically authentic female leads. But as our friend over at CNET pointed out in their fun critique (check it out here), some of the best ‘messy’ stories didn’t make the cut. So, what’s the connection to you, your fertility journey, and yes, even your quest for conception at home? Buckle up, because this post ties it all together—and trust me, it’s way more uplifting than you’d expect.

• Navigating emotional highs and lows that feel anything but neat.

This is where companies like MakeAMom shine. Their at-home insemination kits are designed to empower you to take control of your journey in a private, cost-effective, and tailored way. Whether you’re working with low motility sperm or conditions like vaginismus, MakeAMom’s CryoBaby, Impregnator, and BabyMaker kits give you options that don’t just fit your situation—they respect your experience.

Why Ordinary Can Be Extraordinary
