  Yeah, this one lit me up. It is kind of surprising since I'm sure D&G encountered a lot of negative comments being gay.

  
  

  Synthetic child is equally offensive as bastard child. It seems that most kids are adored by their parents regardless of how they were conceived. 

  TTC Since 3/2010
  Me-36, Unexplained Infertility, DH-35, all clear
  Clomid 50mg 12/2011 = BFN
  Clomid 100mg 1/2012 = BFN, with Cyst
  IVF #1 Lupron/Menopur/Gonal-f/HCG Trigger
  ER 4/19/12 = 11 retrieved, 6 fertilized,
  ET 4/22/12 = 2 transfered (day 3), remaining 3 weren't good enough to freeze
  Beta 5/3 = BFP, 87 Beta #2 5/7 560.9 Beta #3 5/9 1376.5 First u/s One Baby, 125bpm!
  Second u/s, 176bmp! Kicked over to the OB by the RE at 8w. Team Green!! 

  Baby girl J arrived two weeks early! Born into water, med-free. Hooray for Team Pink!

  
  

  TTC #2 - back to the RE, treatment started 12/2014.

  Absolutely disgusting! I've never heard anyone refer to IVF children this way - and they should be ashamed of themselves.
  
  Maybe instead of making nasty comments about IVF they should focus on their clothing line because their clothing is not cute and it could defintely use some help

  Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.
  

  IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great   EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

  I was sooooo annoyed and angry when I read that story. I just tell myself that people like that are just ignorant and those comments make them look stupid. Good on Elton John for standing up to those losers. Let's hope he has influence....I definitely have no plans on ever buying D&G!!

  I'm not angry by this.  Why does anyone care what these people think?  Is it because they're famous/rich?  I mean, they're entitled to their opinion (stupid as it may be), but they really know nothing about IVF or the people behind it...as far as I'm concerned, their fashion sense is terrible and that's their CAREER, haha.  How these guys make millions convincing people their brand is 'high fashion' is ridiculous, but whatever. I love my baby - frozen, synthetic, designer, IVF, snowflake, whathaveyou he's my amazing little reason for being and I wouldn't change a thing.  I have a picture of him as a handful of cells and that's pretty freaking amazing.  I know to the hour how old he is. 

  Egg Retrieval - Feb. 2013 -> OHSS.  FET#1 - June 2013(failed). FET#2 - October 2013(success!) Griffin Alistair: 6#10oz 20" long, born 6/19/14 @ 4:04am

  Given my imagination, I don't want to read the article... nor watch the news on TV.  Just want a happy bubble today.   It frustrates me that it seems people know more about cancer and can talk about that more readily than IF/MC.  My co-worker was slamming his cousin who had her 2nd mc (TTC 5+ years) as not coping well as opposed to his cousin with infant loss (one living child) coping well considering ---- uh, BOTH situations freaking suck considering.  I love, love, love my "synthetic" children.  We fostered a child and one could say that if we'd adopted would have been a "synthetic" family .  In fact, my life is pretty "synthetic" - always making up unnatural stuff to do --- really, is Putt, Putt Golf natural? I should be gathering berries.  Uh, oh, my synthetic child is playing with a synthetic balloon - I suppose the authors would have me harvest an animal gut to inflate?   Times have changed.
