Have you heard about Netflix’s new recommendation row called ‘Messy Girl Summer’? It’s supposed to be a celebration of unapologetic chaos and fun—but as one recent CNET article points out, it surprisingly left out some beloved titles that truly capture that spirit.

Now, you might be wondering, what on earth does a Netflix category have to do with fertility? Stick with me, because there’s a powerful connection here that could change how you view your reproductive health journey.

The Beauty of the ‘Messy’ Journey

Fertility journeys, much like the shows Netflix tried to cluster under ‘Messy Girl Summer,’ are rarely neat and tidy. They’re full of unexpected twists, emotional highs and lows, moments of hope, and sometimes even despair. The “messiness” can feel overwhelming, but it’s also what makes the story uniquely yours.

Much like the Netflix category was meant to embrace the imperfect, wild, and real, your path to parenthood deserves that same celebration. It’s okay if things aren’t perfect. It’s okay to feel scattered, uncertain, or even desperate at times. Those moments don’t mean failure—they mean you’re trying, you’re fighting, and most importantly, you’re human.

Filling the Gaps with Empowerment

Just like the Netflix list missed some crucial titles, sometimes our fertility toolkit feels incomplete too. But here’s the good news: your journey doesn’t have to be limited to clinical spaces or costly procedures. More and more people are discovering the empowering option of at-home insemination kits, which provide a private, gentle, and cost-effective way to take control of conception.

Companies like MakeAMom have revolutionized this space by offering reusable kits tailored to different fertility scenarios—whether it’s low-volume or frozen sperm with their CryoBaby kit, low motility sperm with the Impregnator, or addressing sensitive conditions like vaginismus with the BabyMaker kit. Imagine having the freedom to try conception on your own terms, in the comfort of your home, without the barriers that sometimes accompany clinical visits.

Why At-Home Insemination is a Game-Changer

• Privacy: Your insemination kits show up in plain packaging—no judgments, no questions.
• Affordability: Reusable kits mean you’re not throwing money away on single-use devices.
• Success Rate: An average of 67% success among clients is a hopeful statistic that speaks volumes.
• Tailored Solutions: Whether you need assistance with sperm motility or comfort, there’s something designed just for you.

Learning from the Missed Titles

Just like Netflix’s category left out beloved, race-defining shows, sometimes our society’s mainstream view on fertility excludes the diverse stories and methods people use to build families. Single parents, LGBTQ+ couples, and those exploring alternative conception methods are often left out of the spotlight.

That’s why platforms and products that acknowledge these realities matter so much—they restore hope and legitimize every path to parenthood. They say: your story counts, your “messiness” counts, and your dreams are valid.

What’s Your ‘Messy’ Summer Looking Like?

If you’re navigating fertility challenges this summer, or anytime really, remember it’s okay to embrace the chaos. It’s okay to ask for help, to explore new options, and to try different approaches. Whether that’s diving into hopeful TV shows that celebrate imperfection or taking the leap with at-home insemination tools, your journey is uniquely yours.
