Trying to Have a Baby?
August 11, 2010 | Posted at 9:57 AM
The topic of today was all infertility for men and women. Infertility is defined from a year of trying to have a baby. Twenty percent of couples are infertile. At the age of 30, 90% of a woman's eggs are gone.
Casuses for infertility:
- Age
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids
The stars of the Style Network's Bill & Giuliana Bill and Giuliana Rancic joined to discuss their infertility issues.
Later, we were joined by Greg and Julie Wolfe to discuss their infertility issues. Please look for thier book coming out in August 2010 that can be pre-ordered now -- How to Make Love to a Plastic Cup: A Guy's Guide to the World of Infertility.

February 25th, 2010, 10:12 amthis topic was interesting to me because i'm 24 and I just gave birth dec 11, 2009 to a full term baby girl (first child) but she was still born the dr's think it was due to my high blood pressure which was not put under controll during the end of my pregnancy but no definite cause at the moment, however, sometimes i wounder if it had something to do with me and my eggs or maybe even the N1H1 shot that was giving to me. moreover, I look forward to trying again because my baby was perfectly healthy and the whole pregnancy was fine up untill a couple days before my due date.

February 25th, 2010, 10:34 amI would have liked to have heard about having a baby after a woman has had tubal ligation. Which is the safest, best option to go with...having the surgery reversed or IVF? I had mine done almost 13 years ago and have since met someone I'd like to have a child with and would like to have some information on this. When I have asked my doctor I don't get very informative answers.

February 25th, 2010, 11:36 amI was a little disappointed in the co-hosts today. I thought they were hard on Giuliana who is just trying to support people with her story. I thought they were quick to jump to opinion and didn't really listen to what she was saying. There is nothing wrong with asking hard questions but the way you ask them could be kinder. Giuliana hasn't done anything wrong and I think she and Bill are very brave to share their story with everyone. If the co-host watch the tape back I think they will see that they could have been nicer. Giuliana and Bill are just trying to start a family with the same struggles as a lot of other working parents. I was proud of her that she was willing to admit that she has insecurities too and I believe when she is ready she will come to terms with what she needs to do to have a baby but I don't think anyone needs to throw it in her face that she has to do everything possible right now to have this baby or she should wait because of her insecurity. Who made you perfect? This is a process and she will comes to terms with all of it in her own time and do what she needs to do - be it having a child, adopting, or wherever they end up on this journey. I wish you the best Guiliana and Bill. I know you will have a great family however you go about it. Best wishes.

February 25th, 2010, 11:43 amI just wanted to thank "The View" for doing the show on infertility. Specifically allowing the guest to express that adoption was not necessarily for her. For the lady to be honest with herself, much less the show, before receiving that adopted child is what is important. Due to medical reasons, I am having trouble with deciding between getting pregnant or using a surrogate. I am really sensitive to people giving me their "two cents" or off the cuff advice. NOBODY KNOWS exactly how they would react to a situation UNTIL they are there themselves!!!! One might think they can anticipate; but believe me, you don't actually know until YOU are there. I used to think I knew exactly how I would handle my situation, but now that I am here, I feel very different. I am one of those who would have said "Have you thought of adoption?" or "You should just adopt." I now know that it is not for everybody. Nobody should be ridiculed for not having adoption weigh on their heart. Thank you Barbara for pointing out that it takes a special kind of person; not everybody can to be that kind of person. And that is okay because it takes all kinds......

February 25th, 2010, 11:53 amI am a 36yr old woman who just had my first child 5 months ago naturally. I'm watching now and like the 1st couple and was also told that i had Endomitriosis and poly-cystic ovaries in my teens and 20's. I've been on the pill, for what seems like forever. I got to a point in my life that i was ok with not having kids, i'll adopt, no problem. I NEVER expected to get pregnant but i did have unprotected sex and it happened @ 35. I was floored!! But now Andres is here and although he's teething and driving me crazy, I'm thankful for him.
Whoopie: I watch b/c of you!!!! I love you and grew upith "AROUND THE WORLD---IN 80 M F'EN DAYS!!! I sing it to my son all the time (mommy version). Thank you for speaking for me.
