Admitted on the Today Show today that she has been going through IVF. I think that it's refreshing to hear another celebrity admit to it.

    I read last week that she went through 3 IVF's while doing American Idol. She asked to get out of her contract and not do anymore seasons because she was too stressed out and it wasn't best for her body while cycling.

    Loved her for this!!!

    Married '02, TTC May '05

    Dx -Ute cancer, DOR from cancer treatments, and embryo quality issues. NOV 2010 CANCER FREE
    2005-2011= 3 Rounds of Clomid, 5 IUI's, 3 IVF's- ALL BFN's
    After 7yrs TTC, 5yrs of ute cancer, and 11 failed IF treatments, we got a surprise BFP! So thankful!

    I'm not a Kara fan at all but I was proud of her for opening up about it.

    Hmm.  I just watched her on Regis and Kelly, and I don't recall hearing her mention that on there.  She did talk about some of the songs she co-wrote that dealt with issues from her past.  She is a co-writer on Sober, which is my absolute favorite Pink song.  Anyway, I wish her the best in her journey to having a baby.  It really is refreshing when celebrities have the courage to discuss their struggles honestly.
