Infertility treatments brought my husband and I closer together, but he is a star. If he was a turd it would certainly have driven us apart.

Fertility treatments didn’t work for us but we didn’t try IVF. We now have a beautiful son by adoption. The point is to raise a child and not to be pregnant. That’s like getting married for the wedding part.

In case anyone is wondering…Marcia says she isn’t telling what the twins are, but In Touch writes that they are both girls…

Just a little tidbit you may find interesting…

I love her honesty! I was never a big fan of hers but I appreciate her candor and respect her highly for it.

I am not an older mom (I was 35 when I had my daughter), but I did go through fertility treatments, and it is extremely exhausting. Like Principesa said, it is actually more exhausting emotionally than it is physically. It can be really hard when month after month it just doesn’t work. During the time I was trying I suffered 2 miscarriages. I was lucky I had a very strong support system, and in the end I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. I wish them nothing but the best!

I had our 3 year old at forty-three, yet he wasn’t my first, so maybe that is different?
No ‘help’ was necessary – we decided to try and I got pregnant on our first attempt.
He is the so active, healthy and dynamic!
The light of our lives – which includes his 24 year old sister, 15 yr old brother and my hubby and I.
I do worry about my age, as Marcia mentioned – but I don’t spend alot of time dwelling on it.
Who has time with a VERY active three yr old to chase around – at 47 years old!!!!!
I wouldn’t do a thing differently!

Older mom here.

Went through treatments for nearly 3 years. It is quite hard – not so much physically, but emotionally. Drugs, shots and such were cake compared to the negative beta test results and worse, multiple miscarriages.

For ourselves, infertility brought us together in such an unexpected way…we were of one mind when it came to our fight to start our family. A lovely silver lining out of a sucky experience.

I appreciate Marcia’s candor. She earns my respect!

However, people who don’t know much about how IVF works may be led to believe it is a solution when realistically it is an option to building one’s family.

There’s a part of me that believes it should be mentioned it is very possible she did not use her own eggs, given her age. However, it is her business and no one else’s.

she looks beautiful as always!
