South Florida Babies

Anyone watch the View today?

It was all on fertility treatments and having a baby. It was pretty interesting and Guilana and Bill Rancic were on talking about their issues. She starts IVF next week. I know that I have felt from time to time alone in my losses but to hear all these women who are so famous and you think have everything talk about their losses it kinda brings it back down to reality.

  • That's why I find it so important to share our experiences with others!  am not saying you should tell the world about everything that is going on in your life, but sometimes knowing that some people were/are in the same shoes are you were/are makes things so much easier. I was so depressed after my first c-section, and it took for someone who I admire alot to share her experience with her c-sections for me to feel that is was ok not to be ok with it but that I wasn't alone.

    I am sorry you have felt alone in your losses but pray and know that the future has tons of exciting things for you! I still remember you trying to decide wether you were ready for kids or not. :) time flies huh? xoxo

  • I missed it do to work but it's been discussion on the infertility board. I am waiting for the video to post on theview.com's site to watch it. I'm glad that this topic was brought up. Many people are unaware of all the infertility issues many couples face. Nice to bring some light to others.
  • The girls on the Infertility board were talking about the episode, stating that it was very informative, and spoke the truth... no fluff.

  • I watched it also. I had no idea about Barbara Walters, so sad to think that back then there were really no options for infertility besides adopting.  I found the whole thing very interesting, especially that your eggs are really decreasing by age 30, I thought I had at least til 35 to worry about that!! Makes me nervous because although I always say I only wanted one child, I've always known I can change my mind at any time, but now it kinda puts the pressure to make a decision one way or another before I'm too old. I'm very glad they did this show.
  • I didn't get to watch it, but I agree with pp that it is SO important to talk about fertility issues, even though it is SO difficult. After all of my fertility struggles and miscarriage, it was comforting to find women that have been there and helped me through it. I was so thankful to find FSUSammy when I was struggling with PCOS and we went through our TTC journey together. It provided me with amazing comfort and encouragement when she got pregnant with Mikey that I truly felt better about my chances.
    I think its great that Guiliana and Bill came out about their difficulties and hope that it provides some couples with encouragement to talk about it more and to know that they are not alone.
    To all of the girls on our board that are struggling with IF, I wish you lots of luck and support. I've been there and shed many tears and am happy to lend an ear at any time.

    Bethie - many xoxoxo to you ;-)

  • Aww, Bethie, big hugs....you will get another beautiful healthy baby someday. I'll send some fertile sticky dust your way...
