Netflix's Messy Girl Summer Missed These Gems — And What That Taught Me About Fertility Journeys
Ever noticed how life’s messiest moments turn out to be the most memorable? That thought hit me today while reading this hilarious take on Netflix’s new ‘Messy Girl Summer’ category — a themed recommendation row that, frankly, didn’t include some of the most delightfully unruly shows (check it out here: I Think Netflix's New 'Messy Girl Summer' Category Missed a Few Titles, but I've Got You)— and it got me thinking about the parallels in our fertility journeys. Strange connection? Stick with me.
Netflix’s curated mess and the reality of trying to conceive at home
The blog post highlights how the ‘Messy Girl Summer’ category tries to capture a vibe — chaotic, imperfect, fun — but misses some great titles that truly embrace the messiness. Isn’t that just like the fertility journey?
Trying to conceive, especially through at-home insemination, is anything but neat and polished. For many, it’s a rollercoaster of emotions, science, and logistics — all tangled with hope, expectation, and sometimes disappointment. And yet, it’s this very messiness that makes the experience deeply personal and, yes, even beautiful.
Why at-home insemination is a game changer for embracing the mess
It’s no secret that clinical fertility treatments can be intimidating, expensive, and impersonal. Enter companies like MakeAMom — innovators offering at-home insemination kits like CryoBaby, Impregnator, and BabyMaker that empower individuals and couples to take control of their journey on their own terms, in the comfort of their home.
- CryoBaby is designed for those working with frozen or low-volume sperm.
- Impregnator considers low motility sperm.
- BabyMaker uniquely supports users with sensitivities such as vaginismus.
And the best part? These kits are reusable and discreetly packaged, offering a cost-effective and private alternative to repetitive clinic visits.
What does this mean for you?
Much like the shows Netflix missed, every fertility path is different and deserves options that work for your unique situation. Maybe the traditional clinical path isn’t for you. Maybe you want to try a more hands-on, self-directed approach without sacrificing success rates — and MakeAMom reports an impressive 67% average success among its users. That’s a figure that turns heads and gives hope.
Messiness is part of the process — and it’s okay to own it!
The conceptual gap between a curated Netflix list and your fertility journey might seem huge, but here’s the takeaway: life — and fertility — rarely fits into neat categories. Sometimes, we need to embrace the unexpected twists, the awkward moments, and the beautiful imperfections.
Whether you’re binge-watching your favorite “messy” shows or navigating your path to parenthood with an at-home insemination kit, the message is the same: It’s okay to be messy; it’s okay to seek what works for you.

Life’s messiness might just be the secret ingredient to the story you were meant to have. And hey, if Netflix ever updates its ‘Messy Girl Summer’ picks, I hope they add a show about us — the bold, brave, and beautifully messy dreamers on the path to parenthood.
