Why Netflix’s ‘Messy Girl Summer’ Misses the Mark—and What It Teaches Us About Fertility Journeys
Netflix’s newest ‘Messy Girl Summer’ category is out—and, honestly, it’s a bit like that one friend who promises to bring the party but forgets half the playlist. The idea? Celebrate the gloriously imperfect, the wild, the untamed chaos of summer. The reality? A somewhat incomplete lineup that left many of us scratching our heads (and adding our favorites in the comments). You can read all about it in this candid CNET article. But what does this have to do with fertility, or dare I say, the “messy” reality of trying to build a family? More than you might think. Buckle up, because this post is about to get real—and relatably messy.
The Beautiful Chaos No One Warned You About
If you’ve been on a fertility journey, you already know it’s anything but neat. There are a million highs and lows. The waiting. The wondering. The million attempts at “just relaxing” while also obsessively tracking every symptom and sensation. And yes, the messiness: emotionally, physically, and sometimes socially. It’s not a tidy, Instagram-filtered storyline. It’s a rollercoaster with unexpected loops and surprise drops.
Netflix tried to bottle some of that wild energy into a fun summer category, but like many journeys (fertility included), it missed some of the nuance. The takeaway? Imperfection is not just okay—it’s essential. Embracing the messiness can actually give you power.
Speaking of Embracing the Mess: Enter At-Home Insemination Kits
Here’s where the magic (and science) of modern family building comes in. More people than ever are exploring options outside the traditional fertility clinic setting. In fact, companies like MakeAMom are pioneering what could be called the “DIY fertility revolution.” Not in a sketchy, guess-what’s-inside-the-kit way, but smart, discreet, and backed by real success rates.
MakeAMom’s range of reusable at-home insemination kits—like the CryoBaby for frozen sperm, the Impregnator for low motility sperm, and the BabyMaker designed for sensitivities like vaginismus—offer a cost-effective, empowering alternative for so many hopeful parents. And here’s a juicy tidbit: their clients enjoy a success rate around 67%! That’s not just hopeful; that’s game-changing.
