I always think ivf/pgd when celebs get twins/an opposite. I'm sure no one was surprised that Posh had a girl after 3 boys or that Brad and Angelina had girl/boy twins. If I had all the money, mansions, and ability to afford help that celebs do, I think I'd just keep going naturally until I had 1 or more of my DG!

If they did do PGD, I can definitely understand why they wouldn't admit it. The public is way too cruel, and even though GD is alot more common than most think, it's still considered taboo to discuss by many people. But anyway, congrats on their boy!

Having gone through IVF even if I could afford to keep doing it several times over there is no way I would choose this path as a method of conception. A lot of people don't like the amount of hormones that are put into their bodies. It is extremely invasive. The emotional part of it is nothing like I have ever experienced in my life. It just isn't something that one thinks about doing just because they have the money to do it. That is why I hardly ever assume celebs do PGD as going the HT route for their DG is extreme and not something that is just about whether they can afford it or not.

^^^That is exactly what I did and everything has FINALLY worked out for the best. I couldn't be more happier in my life than I am right now with these 2 blessings that were brought into my life.

I totally have thought this about celebs. I certainly think they use PGD. I not only think this I also think about couples who have babies or are going to and predicting based on their habits, months of conception etc. what the gender will be!! I can't help myself!

I agree with Michaela...now that we're going down the infertility route...and finding out the number of tests and procedures you need to get done just to start (plus many many more for cycle monitoring and bla bla) is just shocking...everytime i go to the fertility clinic i keep saying to myself...i cant believe im here.....I would NEVER do this if I had a choice.....

They may not have, but my mind always goes there first in these situations. I wish more would be open about it too, but I see why they wouldn't. People are so harsh with their opinions. I don't think the needles and hormones would matter to some celebs. That world is a world all its own.That is where the new cosmetic procedures start first, the wild diets and fads. Can you say va-jay jay reconstruction and routine family colon cleansings.

.....posted before I was done, gave myself a TMI moment!! I meant to add, I am happy for them too AND Uma Therman. Whenever I see a "mature" momma even if it is a celeb, it gives me hope. It is also nice that having children in your late 30's and 40's is a little more accepted than it used to be....baby steps.
