well i do think her weight might be a problem.  three years ago i had HA and it was bc of my weight and i wasnt even as thin as she is. i gained 5 lbs and i finally ovulated spontaneously after 6 months of nothing.  and my bmi was still considered to be "in the normal range" for health, but not for fertility.  i would be surprised if her weight is in the normal range for standard health.

I see your point. I just think it is hard to know their reason for IF, unless we had sat in the RE's office with them...people are quick to put blame on her and blame on him-when all we can really do is just speculate...

I'm not sure their problem is that she's not ovulating.  On the show, I remember she mentioned that his sperm was not so great.  I agree she is too thin, but if Rachel Zoe can have a baby, she is probably not too thin to get pg.

The comments are terrible, but there are many studies that show that acu improves IVF success rates...

The comments that drove me crazy were the ones about adopting American children.  WTF?  Where do they get their information?  Taking a child in need is taking a child in need, whether the baby is American or Italian.

Does anybody know why Dr Kaplan recommended another fresh cycle for her when they already had some frozen embryos from the first cycle?Were they. Not good quality or is she DOR or was it just not explained.I don't understand why they seem so reluctant about IVF when I think they've only had 2 cycles.

well the comment about "if rachel zoe can get pregnant" really doesnt make sense. it is different for everybody. if that were the case, then i wouldnt have developed HA and i was nowhere near as thin as Rachel Zoe.  I really think the weight factor depends on the person and each person's threshold.  also, you dont know if Rachel Zoe used donor eggs.  she very well could have.  and sometimes, with thin celebrities ive noticed, they fall off the radar and then all of a sudden reappear as pregnant.  they very well could have hidden under a rock to gain weight and get pregnant. 

and regarding kaplan....i would imagine that he recommended the fresh cycle bc the chances are slightly higher with a fresh cycle and they've got a ton of $$ so....why not.

...and regarding accupuncture, i am actually a believer in it, only because ive been doing it for two months and have had a lot of positives come out of it.
