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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
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.
