Q: Hi, Jessica! Tell us a bit about yourself! How old are you and your partner, and what are your ethnicities? What do you both work as?
A: My partner and I are both Singaporean Chinese. I am 33 years old, and my partner is 32. We both work typical office jobs with regular hours, which keeps us busy during the week. We have been trying to conceive (TTC) our second child for about two to three months now. However, given our age and our eagerness to expand our family, we felt that we wanted faster results. With a friend's recommendation, we decided to try the twoplus Applicators to increase our chances of conceiving sooner.
Q: Congratulations on your pregnancy! What made you decide to try for a second child?
A: Parenthood has been a profoundly enriching and joyful experience for us, bringing new meaning and purpose to our lives. We truly enjoyed raising our first child and felt that the time was right to expand our family and give our little one a sibling to grow up with.
Q: How was trying for your second child different from the first?
A: Trying for our second child has been much more tiring compared to our first attempt. We had to juggle working full-time in the office and caring for our toddler, which left us feeling exhausted most days. Despite already knowing the steps involved in conceiving, the process felt more challenging the second time around, possibly due to our ages since we are both over 30 now. Balancing all our responsibilities made this journey more demanding than we had anticipated.
Q: As a high-achieving career woman, how did you balance the demands of work, caring for a young child, and trying for a baby?
A: Balancing work, parenthood, and trying to conceive was definitely not easy. During my fertile window, we had to make time for each other despite feeling exhausted, which often meant late nights and less rest. It was a lot of work, but we knew it was important to seize every opportunity during those key fertile days.
Q: Were you diagnosed with any medical conditions relating to fertility by a licensed healthcare professional, and what tests did you do?
A: I had a simple check-up at the gynaecologist to ensure there were no cysts or abnormalities in my womb. Thankfully, everything was fine. My husband did not undergo any fertility tests.
Q: How did you first find out about the twoplus Applicator?
A: I found out about the twoplus Applicator through a recommendation from a friend who had witnessed positive experiences with it.
Q: What made you decide to try it?
A: I figured, why not give it a try? The Applicator was inexpensive and seemed like a great way to increase our chances of conceiving, which was important to me since time is of the essence, especially with my biological clock ticking.
Q: What were your initial thoughts or feelings about using the Applicator?
A: I found the Applicator very straightforward and easy to use, especially with the instructions provided. I also appreciated that it was a single-use product, which ensured that everything remained hygienic.
Q: How did twoplus Applicators help you achieve your family planning goals?
A: The twoplus Applicator helped us conceive on our second cycle, which was fantastic. It made the process much less stressful and felt like a less complicated way to boost our chances of success.
Q: Were there any challenges or difficulties you faced during the process?
A: One of the main challenges we faced was that my husband was frequently away on work trips, which made it difficult to align our schedules. He was often tired when he returned, and we had limited energy and time to try. Although we knew that it typically takes around six months on average to conceive, we didn't want to wait that long and wanted to maximize every opportunity we had.
Q: Did you involve your partner in the purchase decision? How did he feel about using the Applicator to try for a baby?
A: No, I didn't involve him in the decision to purchase the Applicator, but he was curious about how it worked once we started using it. He was pleased with how simple it was; all he had to do was ejaculate into the cup, and I handled the rest of the insemination. It was a very straightforward process.
Q: How many cycles did you use the Applicator?
A: We used the Applicator for two cycles.
Q: How many times within each cycle did you use the Applicator?
A: I used the Applicator three times during the first cycle and four times during the second cycle.
Q: Apart from using the twoplus Applicator, did you make any lifestyle changes to prepare your body for conceiving?
A: Yes, I made some lifestyle adjustments, such as cutting down on coffee and cold drinks. I also received Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment because I wanted to make sure my body was in the best possible condition to conceive.
Q: What else have you tried in your conception journey before using twoplus?
A: We didn't try any other specific methods before using the twoplus Applicator.
Q: Would you recommend twoplus Applicators to other couples who are trying for their second child? Why or why not?
A: Absolutely, I would recommend the twoplus Applicator to other couples trying for their second child. In addition to the fun of traditional sex, the Applicator provides an extra boost to your chances of conceiving, especially when time is of the essence. Seize every cycle to get closer to that positive result!
Q: What advice would you give to other parents-to-be trying to balance career and parenthood goals?
A: Balancing a career and parenthood, especially when trying to conceive, can feel overwhelming. My best advice is to communicate openly with your partner about your feelings, challenges, and how you can support each other. Prioritize self-care where possible, even if it means carving out small pockets of time for rest or relaxation. Don't be afraid to ask for help, whether it's from family, friends.
Q: Exciting times (and sleepless nights) are ahead for you and your partner! How does it feel? How are you guys preparing for the arrival of your little one?
A: We are feeling both excited and nervous about what's to come. The thought of managing everything with two kids is daunting, but we are confident that we will find our way. We are preparing as best as we can and are looking forward to all the joys and challenges ahead.
