I wanted to comment on the Dr. Phil show that was discussed on a post yesterday.
I just finished watching it, and I thought it was great. I don't think he said one insensitive thing.
Question: Which couple are you most like? (for those who watched)
DH and I are most like the first couple, but with a role reversal. I have 3 kids from a previous marriage and had my tubes tied. He decided a year or so into our relationship that he DID want kids after all. I guess he got his way.
Many of my friends and family members disagree with my decision to have a baby for him, but I couldn't be happier to give him his wish.
Can't wait to here all the stories!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
We are not like any of the couples. I do not have a problem getting pregnant. I have trouble staying pregnant.
Also, when he bragged about his "boys" getting his wife pregnant so easily the second time--I felt this was an incredibly insensitive thing to say in front of infertile couples. Sorry, I did not think that it was a good show. But then again, I really don't like Dr. Phil to begin with.
The 2nd couple with PCOS I felt like the most, except my DH felt like I did.
I'm the most angry at our healthcare system in this country. Luckily, my IUI's cost $30. But what if i didn't have insurance? I don't know what i would do. it's just not fair-i'm not any better then they are. so i'm upset for these people.
I thought the show was impressive, however, I felt like it should have discussed PCOS further and in more detail.
I am with Dr. Phil though, do whatever it takes to have a child and invest in your future.
Life IS short.
Update:
The Reames' effort to have another child was unsuccessful. Robert and Arminae have moved on and continue enjoying life with their precious daughter, 7-year-old Audrey.
