Why Netflix’s ‘Messy Girl Summer’ Misses the Mark — And What It Means for Your Fertility Journey

Have you seen Netflix’s new ‘Messy Girl Summer’ category? It’s a quirky, fun attempt to celebrate imperfection and the messy, beautiful chaos of life. But as one thoughtful commentary recently pointed out,(read more here), the list missed some critical titles that truly embrace messy, imperfect realities.

Now, you might be wondering, what does this have to do with fertility? More than you’d expect.

The Truth About Messiness in Fertility

Fertility journeys are anything but neat and tidy. They involve highs, lows, unexpected detours, and deeply personal stories that often stay behind closed doors. Just like the “messy” summer category aims to honor imperfection, fertility is a path where embracing the unpredictable can bring strength and hope.

Yet, society often pushes the image of a “perfect” fertility story — smooth, quick, and clinical. That’s not reality for so many. The emotional rollercoaster, the questions, the moments of doubt and courage — it’s all part of the landscape.

Why Embracing the Mess Matters

When you lean into the messy parts of your fertility journey, you open up space for real healing and empowerment. You stop chasing an impossible ideal and instead focus on what truly matters: your health, your emotions, and your unique path forward.

This is where innovative tools and resources can change everything. For example, home fertility solutions like MakeAMom’s discreet insemination kits allow individuals and couples to take control in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. No sterile clinic visits, no overwhelming medical jargon — just a supportive, user-friendly approach that respects how personal your journey is.

More Than Just Kits — It’s About Confidence and Choice

MakeAMom offers a range of kits — from CryoBaby for low-volume or frozen sperm to the Impregnator for low motility sperm, and BabyMaker for those with sensitivities or conditions like vaginismus. Each is reusable and designed to be a cost-effective alternative to disposable options.

What’s more inspiring is their average 67% success rate reported by users. It’s not just about the science; it’s about giving hope and empowerment back to people who may have felt sidelined by traditional fertility treatments.

Your Story Is Valid — Messy and Beautiful

Just like the “Messy Girl Summer” category invites us to celebrate the imperfect, your fertility story deserves the same embrace. It’s filled with strength, resilience, and moments of joy amid uncertainty.
