Ever felt like streaming platforms just don’t get you sometimes? That’s exactly the sentiment buzzing around Netflix’s newest category: ‘Messy Girl Summer.’ CNET recently dropped a hot take on this (check it out here), and honestly, it got me thinking — what if our media choices were as thoughtfully curated as, say, our fertility journeys? Bear with me, there’s a connection here.

So, Netflix launches this quirky “Messy Girl Summer” row, presumably to celebrate imperfection, chaos, and all the charmingly flawed narratives we secretly love. But the catch? Many beloved titles were inexplicably left out, leaving fans scratching their heads and craving something more authentic, more them.

Here’s the kicker: Just like how Netflix’s attempt feels a bit off, the path to conception can sometimes feel like navigating a maze without a map or a clear guide. Whether you’re dealing with sensitivities, unique health concerns, or simply seeking comfort-first fertility strategies, picking the right tools and resources matters — just like picking the right shows to binge-watch on a lazy afternoon.

Why does this matter? Because comfort and personalization are everything.

At ViviCare, we champion gentle, thoughtful approaches to conception that prioritize your comfort and health. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by clinical settings or the sheer complexity of fertility treatments, you’re not alone. That’s why companies like MakeAMom are game changers.

They offer at-home insemination kits designed to fit your unique needs — whether it’s low motility sperm, sensitivities like vaginismus, or working with frozen samples. Their kits are reusable, cost-effective, and, crucially, discreet. Sounds a lot like crafting your own personalized “playlist” of fertility options that just get you.

Back to the “Messy Girl Summer” category — what was missing?

The CNET article points out some glaring ommissions. And this idea of “missing out” resonates beyond entertainment. How often do people feel left out of the fertility conversation because traditional options just don’t cater to their story?

Here’s a quick, messy girl-approved list of shows you might actually want to see, and a little fertility wisdom on the side:

• “Fleabag”: Raw, funny, and unapologetically real — much like embracing the ups and downs of fertility treatments.
• “Insecure”: Relatable, bold, and full of heart. Because your fertility journey deserves a little boldness, too.
• “Russian Doll”: Repeating cycles, unexpected twists — kind of like trying again and again but learning each time.

And when it comes to fertility, embracing imperfection might mean exploring at-home options like MakeAMom’s kits, which report a solid 67% success rate. That’s the kind of empowerment and personalization that feels like coming home.

So, what can you take away from this?

Whether you’re picking your next binge-watch or your path to parenthood, it pays to look beyond the obvious. Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all category or approach. Seek out what fits your life, your comfort, and your dreams.

Before you dive into your next streaming marathon, why not also explore how at-home insemination might be a comfortable, cost-effective option for you? MakeAMom’s discreet kits could be the plot twist you didn’t know you needed.

At the end of the day, it’s about crafting your own story — messy, imperfect, but totally yours. And hey, if Netflix ever wants to create a category for “Fertile & Fabulous,” we’d binge that for sure.
