Katie Price to Undergo Fertility Treatments

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

As we’ve discussed with other celebs, many are choosing to go public with their infertility journeys.  And Katie Price is no exception.

Price is a British model/actress/singer and although she might not be as well-known to people in the U.S. as she is in the U.K., she’s gaining popularity… not to mention headlines.

Unlike the “typical” Hollywood IVF story, Price is still young — in her early thirties.  As more information comes forward, it will be interesting to hear which fertility treatments she chooses.

  • Giuliana Rancic Latest Celeb to Undergo IVF

    Monday, March 1st, 2010

    Celebrities are beginning to talk more openly about their IVF experiences.  Included in the ranks of Hollywood stars opting for this method of fertility treatment is Giuliana Rancic, celebrity news personality and host of E! News.

    Last week, Rancic told the hosts on The View:

    “We’ve [already] done IUI; we’ve done quite a few things and we start IVF next week.”

    Because Rancic is making her story public so early, it’s likely she’ll be open about telling how her IVF journey goes.  We look forward to hearing more from this celeb and wish her the best of luck!

  • Infertility and “The Morgans”

    Monday, December 21st, 2009

    Reviews are in for “Did You Hear about The Morgans?”  In general, they’re not pretty, but the evaluations of movie critics are beyond the scope of this article.

    The real problem with the script may be that, once again, infertility is thrown into the mix as a catalyst for “marriage problems”.  Hollywood’s view of infertility seems to be as a writing device; consequently, it’s rarely treated with any kind of genuine regard but rather glossed over. 

    In reality, though, infertility is so much more complex.  It’s also highly personal, generating more discussions than simply film-style “We can’t have a baby” ones.

    It would be nice to see a mainstream movie appear that honestly deals with the layers of infertility instead of using it as some kind of technique to explain away marital difficulties.

  • Surrogacy Isn’t Only for the Stars

    Friday, June 26th, 2009

    The news was announced earlier this week — Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s surrogate gave birth to the couple’s twins.  It brought surrogacy in the news, but what many people don’t realize is that having a surrogate give birth to their children isn’t just for Hollywood’s elite.

    In fact, surrogacy can be an effective solution for couples struggling with infertility problems.  In some cases, it greatly minimizes the stress of continuing with fertility treatments that might not be working.  Consequently, surrogacy shouldn’t be ignored; it’s been and continues to be a viable way to have a baby for numerous men and women.

    Our congratulations to SJP and MB!

    Fertility Issues after Giving Birth

    Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

    tn_img_6027A recent article from the UK’s Birmingham Post did an excellent job of explaining why women who have been able to conceive naturally without fertility treatments may one day find themselves dealing with infertility.

    In the story, the author discusses the experiences of Sarah Jessica Parker, the Hollywood star who recently  discovered that she was no longer able to become pregnant even though she had conceived without problems previously. 

    The phenomenon, “secondary infertility,” can happen for a number of reasons including the age of the woman, a switch in partners and potential medical problems.  Regardless of the “whys”, it can still be a devastating experience for any couple who assumed they would be able to naturally conceive.

    The upshot, though, is that there are alternatives for women who want to have children, including fertility treatments.  Although becoming pregnant may take a bit longer than expected, in many cases, it can still be a reality.
