Five years after getting married, we knew we were ready to take the next step: starting a family. We had been dreaming for years about hearing the word “mom” at home, and even though we knew our path would be different, we were certain that we wanted our baby to come into our lives with love, science, and support. That’s why we chose Ingenes.
From the very first contact, we felt a different kind of warmth. It wasn’t just a clinic—it was a place where we were spoken to with honesty, where things were explained patiently, and where we were seen with empathy. They made us feel like it was possible. And it was.
When they confirmed that Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) was the right treatment for us, we had no idea that our very first attempt would also be the one that changed our lives forever. Many couples go through this process for months, even years, and thanks to close follow-ups, medical preparation, and the support of the entire team, we received the news we had hoped for right away.
Yes, we were pregnant. And in that moment, all the doubts, anxiety, and fear turned into hope.
From the very beginning, my pregnancy (Fer) came with ups and downs. I started having gallbladder issues, and I ended up in the ER several times. Our doctor was very clear: one more crisis, and we’d have to go through an early C-section.
I remember perfectly—when I was only 34 weeks along, they prepared us by giving me a special injection to help mature our baby’s lungs. The goal was to make it to at least 37 weeks. And we did. Thanks to extreme care, a strict diet (just chicken and rice, every single day), strong medical commitment, and Dani’s unconditional support, we were able to give our son the time he needed to be born strong and healthy.
The C-section was scheduled. Everything was ready. The team that cared for us was impeccable, empathetic, and professional. I remember seeing the faces of those who were in the room with us and feeling like, more than just doctors, they were part of this success.
We saw him for the first time, we heard him cry, we held him close with our eyes and our hearts. And everything made sense. The whole process, the effort, the fear… it was all worth it.
We know many couples like us have questions about whether they’ll be able to make this dream come true. Whether they’ll get the chance to experience it. Whether they’ll find a place that listens to and understands them. We found all that—and more—at Ingenes.
They gave us medical clarity, real options, psychological support, and a clear plan. Not only did we get pregnant on our first try, we also felt like every step was taken with purpose and respect.
Alonso came to change everything. And while our love story started years ago in Cuernavaca, our story as a family began in a waiting room, filling out forms, doing lab tests, and learning to trust.
Today, we look back with gratitude. And to anyone about to start this journey, we just want to say one thing: yes, it’s possible—and yes, it’s worth it.
If you’re part of a same-sex female couple and dream of having a baby, Ingenes offers real options to make it happen—just like Fernanda and Daniela.
With just one Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) attempt and the support of a fertility team specializing in cases like yours, they are now living their motherhood journey alongside their son, Alonso.
We offer treatments designed for couples like yours, emotional support, and high-quality medical care.
Your story can begin here, too.
