Getting pregnant is easy. That is what this man thought. I found out it was not always true.
It is simple to have kids. It really is. Man and woman go out on romantic date. Man and woman get lost in each others eyes while drinking a nice Merlot and they forgo the movie after dinner for some private sexy time. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Nine months later you both have a mini-me. A little bundle. A little ‘un. A baby. There is nothing to it right? That use to be what I thought. I never once in my life considering having a baby would be hard.
Are you struggling to have a baby? You are not alone.....
You have discovered that you have a fertility issue and suddenly you may feel you are on a desert island and no one can get to you or has ever even heard of the island you now live on. What to do? You could collapse in your own fears and blame yourself or God or the flat Mountain Dew you drank 11 years ago and have since discovered that some random study in Switzerland says flat Mountain Dews cause infertility in mice. You have a tough road ahead of you if you pursue fertility treatments but nothing is impossible and you may be stronger than you know.

The doctor examined me and found no venereal disease but told me that I was pregnant.
Sitting in the doctor’s office, listening to what he had said, connecting this now with what had happened, I felt sick to my stomach I felt my bottom drop out. My husband was a tight-fisted, mean man and without a little bit of sex even now and then between us, what chance did I have for a happy life with him? At 21, my marriage had become like my parents’.
My pregnancy chances may not be high when I'm older, but I'd rather take them than make a mistake.
We live in a world where women conceiving older and older is becoming the norm. Salma Hayek had a baby girl at 41 and Holly Hunter had twin boys at 47 years old — a trend that is giving women in their 30's who have put having children off a sigh of relief. However, a recent study shows that women do not truly understand just how slippery the fertility slope really is.
No muu-muus for Hilary Duff! The 24-year-old actress, who is 5 months pregnant with her first child, recently stepped out in Hollywood wearing a skin-hugging, lime green mini-dress and told reporters that mothers-to-be shouldn't be afraid to wear body-flaunting clothes.
Rihanna has canceled shows and has a doctor at her side on tour. All signs point to being preggers!
It might be the "baby" flu that appears to be going around Hollywood that has Rihanna feeling under the weather. She recently cancelled a few tour dates due to what she said is the flu, but her crew isn't buying it.
Studies say men also get less fertile after age 35. So there's no "eternal fatherhood," fellas.
Women aren't the only ones who stress about their biological clock — men face similar anxieties over becoming older dads, reports Sarah Wildman. Some may even turn to sperm freezing.
Rancic's case is a good reason women shouldn't wait until age 40 to get mammograms.
This morning on the Today show, Giuliana Rancic, 37, made a big announcement. Only it wasn't the happy pregnancy news we've all been waiting for as she and her husband, Bill Rancic, have struggled with infertility for years. Rather she revealed that she has breast cancer, which was discovered because of her IVF treatments.
