Ever stumbled upon a movie so strange you just can’t stop thinking about it? That was me last weekend when I watched Push, a pregnancy horror flick reviewed recently on IGN (you can check it out here). If you’re exploring fertility options or even just curious about stories around pregnancy, this film might just give you an unexpected perspective — but with a caveat.
Push attempts to mix art-house visuals with the haunting themes of pregnancy complications and the uncertainties surrounding motherhood. The review points out something that immediately struck a chord with me: the film sacrifices believable characters and a coherent plot for the sake of striking, eerie scenes. And honestly? I get it. When you’re on a fertility journey — especially at home — you crave authenticity, clear information, and real stories, not something surreal that leaves you more confused or anxious.
But here’s the twist: while Push might not be the go-to for straightforward pregnancy narratives, it echoes a deep truth in fertility journeys — unpredictability. Whether you’re using at-home insemination kits, trying to understand ovulation timing, or navigating medical consultations, the experience often feels like a confusing, emotional rollercoaster, just like a suspenseful movie.
So, why talk about a horror film on a fertility blog? Because sometimes, the stories that unsettle us most force us to confront our fears and hopes head-on. And that’s exactly what many who are choosing at-home options might be feeling — vulnerability mixed with hope.
Speaking of hope, if you’re considering taking fertility into your own hands, kits like those offered by MakeAMom can be game-changers. Their BabyMaker at-home insemination kit is designed especially for people with sensitivities or conditions like vaginismus, making the process gentler and more accessible. What I love about these kits is that they’re reusable, discreet, and report an average success rate of 67%, which is impressive for home procedures.
Here’s what I’ve learned about the at-home fertility journey that wasn’t quite captured in Push:
- Patience is everything. You might not get the result on the first try, but learning your body and the process is empowering.
- Education is power. Familiarize yourself with your cycle, understand ovulation, and use resources that explain each step clearly.
- Community support matters. Whether through online forums or blogs like FertilityFocus, sharing experiences can ease isolation.
- Tools make a difference. Choosing the right at-home insemination kit tailored to your needs can optimize your chances and comfort.
Also, unlike Push, your fertility journey deserves a plot with clarity, support, and a happy (or hopeful) ending. That’s why investing in reliable, thoughtfully designed products and staying informed can turn a seemingly scary experience into one of empowerment.
If Push has you curious about the darker, unpredictable aspects of pregnancy, don’t let it discourage you. Instead, use that curiosity to dive deeper into understanding your options and seek solutions that align with your comfort and needs. And remember, fertility journeys today are more accessible than ever, thanks to innovations and companies like MakeAMom.

And if you want to discover how fertility stories are portrayed in pop culture — sometimes brilliantly, sometimes bizarrely — Push is quite the watch. Just be prepared for an artistic ride, not a straightforward narrative.
Remember, your fertility journey is YOUR story — unique, real, and worth every hopeful moment.
