Netflix’s new ‘Messy Girl Summer’ category is here, but did it really capture the chaos and charm of the season? Spoiler alert: not quite.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve eagerly browsed Netflix’s latest quirky recommendation rows, gleefully discovering new ways to vibe with your summer mood. The new ‘Messy Girl Summer’ row? A bold move, no doubt—yet it left out some of the very titles that define a gloriously disheveled, unapologetically authentic female energy.

Reading this CNET commentary got me thinking: what if “messy” isn’t just about entertainment? What if it’s a fitting metaphor for something much more personal and profound—like the fertility journey?

Think about it. Fertility, like that “Messy Girl Summer” vibe, isn’t always neat, predictable, or Instagram-ready. It’s often chaotic, emotional, and full of unexpected twists. And just like Netflix’s category missed some beloved, raw titles, many fertility paths often miss the mainstream spotlight, leaving people searching for alternatives that genuinely resonate with their experience.

So why am I talking about a Netflix category in a fertility blog? Because the real-life “messiness” of trying to conceive is exactly why innovative, empowering solutions like MakeAMom’s at-home insemination kits exist.

• Messy Fertility Realities: Many people face unique challenges—like low sperm motility, sensitivities such as vaginismus, or needing specialized solutions for frozen sperm. These complexities don’t fit the cookie-cutter mold.
• Taking Control, Your Way: MakeAMom offers discreet, reusable kits tailored to these diverse needs (CryoBaby for frozen sperm, Impregnator for low motility, BabyMaker for sensitivities). So, instead of feeling lost in the “mess,” you’re empowered to take fertility into your own hands, literally.
• Breaking The Stigma: Just like embracing the “messy girl” vibe means celebrating imperfection, embracing at-home insemination can mean breaking free from clinical coldness or societal stigma. It’s personal, private, and often more comfortable.

Here’s the kicker—MakeAMom reports an impressive 67% success rate with their home insemination systems. That’s no small feat when you’re navigating the unpredictable roller coaster of fertility. It’s proof that messy, unconventional solutions can work brilliantly.

And like Netflix’s intriguing category that invites you to lean into imperfection and fun, MakeAMom’s kits come packaged plainly and discreetly. No flashy logos, no awkward conversations. Just straightforward, effective support for your unique journey.

If you’re nodding along thinking, “That sounds exactly like me,” you’re not alone. The fertility path is anything but tidy, but that doesn’t mean you need to suffer quietly or settle for one-size-fits-all options.

So, what can you do if your fertility journey feels a little like a ‘Messy Girl Summer’—unpredictable and wild?

1. Embrace the Mess: Accept that fertility journeys can be emotional, complex, and sometimes messy. It’s okay.
2. Seek Out Tailored Solutions: Whether it’s at-home kits designed for your specific needs or supportive communities, find what fits your story.
3. Get Informed: Dive into resources, testimonials, and expert tips to empower yourself. Knowledge is power, after all.

And if you want to explore how at-home insemination might fit into your journey, check out MakeAMom’s discreet and effective kits. They’re designed for real people with real fertility challenges—mess and all.
