Infertility Support Group
In vitro fertilization is one of the most common and utilized ways of treating conception problems. This support group is dedicated to those beginning their journey with IVF and needing support. Join the community and share your experiences, advice, and story with people going through similar challenges starting a family.
I'm quite a film buff (and music; see my other post today hehehe!)
I'll try to think of a few of my favorite flicks dealing with the subject and get back to ya! (:
"Maybe Baby" was definitely a good comedy-drama!
I saw your other post about music; in a couple of songs, I've listened to the lyrics and thought maybe it was about infertility, but then I would look up the full lyrics to discover that it was not related at all. But we can always put our own meaning into it!
For a good laugh: "BABY MAMA" with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler!
:-D
Also noticed that "Glee" now has the coach, Sue Sylvester in the middle of fertility treatment. Ha ha!
Interesting documentary: Technostorks: A Documentary on Infertility and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
A movie recommendation, for anyone in the group who has a rebellious husband/partner, who might be hesitant or nervous about fatherhood is the documentary "The Other F-Word". Very cute, funny and inspiring!
Lastly, just my 2 cents: Someone should make a movie based on the book "What to expect When You're NOT Expecting".... OK? :-P
Now, if we were to ask about movies that dealt with unplanned pregnancies, the list would be much longer! I remember watching "Juno" before I even started trying and feeling more badly for Jennifer Garner's character than Ellen Page's. Jennifer Garner's character was unable to have children of her own, whereas of course, Ellen's character got knocked up at 16 (from only having sex once of course). She certainly knew better, but at least she gave up her child to someone who wanted to be a mother!
And, I have to agree with you. They should make a movie about "What to Expect When You're Not Expecting". I wasn't too happy when I saw they were making one about "What to Expect When You are Expecting." It doesn't look very good either...
Thanks for your input! Good luck to you!
I haven't seen the other film, but it sounds intriguing!
One thing that is lifting my spirits this week is the upcoming Academy awards! Can't wait!!! Hubby and I are going to make an evening of it. Wondering what "Oscar" celebratory types of munchies to make, which are-- OF COURSE -- fertility-friendly! Ha ha!
I'm right there with you re: finding the comedy where-ever possible! Absolutely hoping for many light-hearted and funny suggestions too! Looking forward to seeing Raising Arizona again! :)
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhgg....... Making babies is hard."
ha ha! Just came across this trailer for an upcoming film called "Conception", which is about 9 different couples and the topic of conceiving a baby:

Here's an article about it; looks like it's available widely online on 2/24.... Virtual VIEWING PARTY, anyone?! :D
A great movie for everyone to watch for other reasons, but I felt terrible for the woman in that movie.
There's a movie called "Never Forever", which I have not seen, but noticed recently; has to do with IF and the strain it causes a marriage. Has anyone seen that one? Looks rather intense!
Spring Cleaning at my house has been elevated to a whole new level, to say the least!
Memorable quote from this documentary:
"It's not so much that you're 'infertile', it's that you're just fertile enough to produce an abnormal child."

I believe the show Private Practice also has someone on there struggling with IF. I don't really watch the show, but it comes on after one I do watch so I'll catch parts of it here and there.
