Every week, the internet turns pregnancy into a headline. Celebrity announcements, scripted TV bump storylines, and “who’s expecting” roundups make it feel instant. Real life is slower. At home insemination is mostly timing, clean tools, and a calm routine. Thesis: If you want a practical ICI plan, focus on the window, the setup, and the…

Q: Why does it feel like everyone is pregnant right now? Q: Is at home insemination actually realistic, or just internet hype?

On a Tuesday night, “Maya” paused a streaming drama right as a surprise pregnancy plot twist hit. Her phone lit up with celebrity baby headlines and group-chat chatter.

Before you try at home insemination, run this quick checklist: Timing plan: How will you identify your fertile window (OPKs, tracking, or both)? Consent + boundaries: What feels okay, what doesn’t, and what happens if you want to stop mid-process?
