Brooke Shields
I had no idea that she went through 7 IVF cycles before getting PG with her first child, and the second pregnancy was purely natural! She said that they were getting ready to start IVF again, but then realized that she was PG already!
Just goes to show you that anything can happen

Re: Brooke Shields
That is amazing. I am happy for her. I remember seeing her on Oprah, describing the birth, and it was such a harrowing experience, I could not imagine wanting to go through it a second time. Good for her.

I am very happy for Brooke Shields. She is now becoming the spokesperson for fertility lifelines, which is support for fertility issues. If you join, you get a free subscription to Conceive magazine (it's a great magazine). Fertility Lifelines is sponsered by Serono, the fertility med manufacturer.

Re: Brooke Shields
I cant believe she went through this 7 times. We are on our first try of IVF and it is an extremely emotional and physical undertaking. I have a new found respect for her!

Re: Brooke Shields
I am so happy for Brooke Shields and her family.
It's also so helpful when they put their name to IF.
I was reading that Mary Alice from Desperate Housewives (Brenda Strong) is going to be the spokesperso for AFA
