Is IVF in Courtney Cox Arquette’s Future?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

cribCourtney Cox Arquette gave birth to her daughter, Coco, in 2004 thanks to help she received from IVF treatments.

Now, Cox Arquette has announced that she’s ready to have another child and would be willing to again undergo IVF to achieve her goals of a larger family.

Cox Arquette is 45, and as our last post on Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross notes, a woman in her mid-40s may not have the eggs necessary for IVF to succeed.  In that case, egg donation is often considered.  (Or, in the case of Sarah Jessica Parker, surrogacy.)

We wish Cox Arquette and her family much success regardless of which way they decide to go with this personal issue.

    Recent news outlets have picked up what many people didn’t realize — Marcia Cross, starlet of Desperate Housewives, did not conceive her twins in 2007 via IVF.  Instead, she chose to treat her fertility issues by using an egg donor.

    Cross, like many post-40 women, did not have enough (if any) viable eggs of her own to even consider IVF.  Thus, she and her husband, stockbroker Tom Mahoney, turned to egg donation.

    Stories like this emphasize just how many different choices there are for couples of all ages who struggle with infertility.  If you’re interested in learning more about choosing (or becoming) an egg donor, visit our site today.

    What do the following people have in common?

    • Angela Bassett
    • Christie Brinkley
    • Marcia Cross
    • Jamie Lee Curtis
    • Nancy Grace
    • Melanie Griffith
    • Joan Lunden
    • Megan Mullally
    • Jane Seymour
    • Sherri Shepherd
    • Brooke Shields
    • Jo Beth Williams

    Obviously, they’re all Hollywood actresses or media stars. But in addition to them being in the fame spotlight, they’ve also all battled with infertility.

    Sometimes, it feels like infertility is seeking out a certain person or family.  It’s not. 

    In fact, infertility can occur at any time, even after a couple or individual has conceived naturally.  Though that doesn’t lessen its impact, it does provide insight into just how widespread fertility issues are, even among the film and television industry’s “elite”.
