Did you read the latest? She complains about how awful being pregnany was. It drives me crazy when people that claim to of dealt with IF then b!tch and complain about being preggo. Also, does she really think she was KU for 47 weeks? Idiot!

Re: Mariah Carey is so stupid!
I have to disagree with you here. I've been TTC for 16+ months and like everyone else on this board want a baby so badly I can't even put it into words. However, I don't for one nano-second think I won't encounter something in pregnancy that I won't complain about...even with the struggles I'm going through.
Just because you struggled doesn't mean you can't complain.
I have made a vow to myself & DH that I will never complain about being pregnant (if I ever get pregnant) and I like to think I will hold myself to it!! Do Mariah have IVF?
True...but I do find it surprising that she released such an article after (apparently) enduring infertility.
While I'm sure that I'll have plenty to complain about during pregnancy, I certainly have a different perspective now than I would have had two years ago. I will also make a conscious effort to remember how far we've come in this process and keep my complaining only for DH! I guess what I'm saying is, if I were a celeb, I wouldn't give an interview like the one above after IF.
Good thing I'll never have to worry about anyone interviewing me for a gossip mag

According to Mariah all we need to do is eat popcorn in bed, watch movies, and get acupuncture daily and we'll all get KU. Get to poppin ladies...
Oh please!
Yes, but even though she was 40 and got PG with twins after suffering m/c and IF, didn't she say that she only used acupuncture to conceive the twins? Seriously, I have my doubts that there was no other medical intervention. What really bothers me is that she talks about IF, but I don't feel like she was completely honest.
As for complaining about pregnancy, I'm sure I will feel bad at times and will seek out ladies that are PG that will listen and maybe even provide some advice. I'm pretty sure I will not just tell the public or post complaints in an open forum on FB. I do know what it is like to go through IF and I don't want to make other women who may be suffering from it uncomfortable. That being said, I'm sure I would be up in arms if I were ever 47 weeks pregnant with twins!! (eye roll) I guess she could mean that she measured as if she were 47 weeks pregnant, but that isn't what she said.

Me= 37 and DH = 41
Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)
IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN
IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.
IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132. Lil is here!
TTC#2: Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.
IVF #4: BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN
IVF #5: MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN
IVF #6: (New RE): Long Antagonist November 2014 (transferred two 8 cell grade 1 embryos and froze one blast) = BFN
FET#1: BFN
She certainly made some comments that weren't very well thought out that's for sure.
I can certainly appreciate the struggles of this journey and totally agree with being very appreciate of each day of a pregnancy after all of this. I would just think a complaint or two may escape if you are vomiting 3 times a day for 20+ weeks or in the hospital on bedrest for 10+ weeks, or swollen and achy in the middle of the summer getting less than 2 hours of sleep a night for weeks on end etc etc.
Would you come on this board and complain or complain to a friend going through it? No. Would you complain to your husband or a friend who as been KU or a BMB?
But, maybe that's just me ::shrugs::
I was not up on my Mariah news- she seriously said she got PG with twins after acupuncture? I also am skeptical!

I was wondering about the 47 weeks myself- It seems like she might have a problem with math...maybe not. I have never heard of a 47 week pregnancy.
"Even miracles take a little time"
I've always thought she was a moron.
Although I'm sure I'll have complaints during pregnancy, I certainly wouldn't make some of the statements she did. She seems to be suffering from 'infertility amnesia'. I'm not surprised; her ego is ridiculous.

Sorry, I guess I should of been more specific. I'm sure I'll complain about morning sickness or having kankles. But to describe you pregnancy as a "bleak" or "difficult time in your life" is a little dramatic.
One of my BFFs had triplets and was on bedrest for more than half her pregnancy. I never, not one time, heard her complain besides the normal stuff. She felt lucky to be preggo with her IVF miracles.
I guess I'm just not feeling bad for her is all. Keep in mind that today is my first CD1 of 2011. To say I have PMS is an understatement.
I also have a pact with my DH that I will try not to complain and instead embrace my pregnancy symptoms if I'm lucky enough to be preggo someday. We'll see how that goes!

::Butting in::
OMG, what a twat! If you don't want children, don't have them! No one ever said pregnancy or having babies is easy or glamorous. The minute you get KU, it is no longer about you...what a selfish biitch. And the idea of "push presents" makes me ill. The baby is the gift.
LOL this made me laugh. I personally agree re: push presents though I have several friends who received them.
Don't forget the movies in bed! That is necessary too!
hahaha
'Scuse you?
ETA: And I think you meant deserve.
Talk about being a spiteful B. First of all learn to freaking spell! Second of all IDK who you are, you obviously are not a regular poster on this board and you have no right to come on here and post such an insulting post w/o knowing any of us! Grow up and go post somewhere else
ITA. Mariah aside (I have nothing nice to say about her), I actually really hate the expectation that infertile women are never supposed to complain during pregnancy because they wanted it so badly and really "asked for it." I think we all have a deep appreciation for how miraculous and wonderful pregnancy is BUT that doesn't mean there aren't physical aspects of it that just plain suck. I think this idea that infertile women should never complain during pregnancy because of everything they went through to get pg puts an unfair amount of pressure on us.
