Soul singer John Legend has advice for couples who are struggling to conceive a baby naturally. The 38-year-old father-of-one encourages barren couples to try in-vitro fertilization treatment.
In-vitro, also called IVF, is extremely popular among Hollywood super couples who are unable to conceive naturally, such as Beyonce Knowles, 36, and Jay Z, 47, who are expecting twins this summer.
Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen, 31, revealed they conceived their nine-month-old daughter Luna through IVF treatments. The process works by fertilizing the mother’s eggs with the father’s sperm outside of the womb and then implanting the embryo into the mother’s uterus.
IVF is expensive. The average cost in the U.S. starts at around $12,000.
The “All of Me” hit maker is urging other couples who are having fertility issues to try IVF. “There are some who look down on people that have fertility issues and need to use IVF. We have had fertility issues for years and had to use IVF,” he told Newsweek Europe.
“Some people can’t reproduce naturally. We’re glad we had Luna the way we did, and hopefully we’ll have a few more kids through IVF,” John added. “We think it’s a viable issue for people … that can’t have kids the old-fashioned way to do it the way we’ve done it.”
Sports Illustrated cover model Chrissy shared last year that she chose a female embryo so John could have a daughter.
WENN — The 31-year-old came under fire for her comments, with some criticizing the model for picking the gender of her unborn child.
However, John said in his interview to Newsweek Europe he believes it’s important for a woman to be in control of when, how and if she wants a child.
“Having control over reproduction is one of the most important rights a woman has. Choosing when you want to have a child or not affects so much of your life and your body,” he said.

Good morning all
Happy Valentine’s Day

Good for them. IVF is expensive and not guaranteed to work. I feel for those who are unable to concieve.
And a happy taco tuesday to you too.
Happy for her. She wanted to carry her own baby, and she did. Not everyone wants to adopt or use a surrogate. Not sure how I feel about the choosing the sex part…some people feel like that’s “playing God”………
why is IVF a thing? it’s been around for ages and should be just as mainstream as natural conception. i thought all eggs were the same and it was the sperm that determined the sex???
i heard it’s costly as hell but maybe the price will go down as more people opt to do it and hopefully with newer and less expensive technologies.
Sounds like they have fertilized embryos, and she chose a female.
10k a pop
i think those who can afford to might choose this technology specifically with choice in mind….
I gots nuthin
I see nothing wrong with this… if you truly desire a child… there is help available … don’t give up folks ?
Uggggh ?? all these fawking people obsessed with having kids on this already over populated, clusterfuck of a polluted plant… We have an all-time high of defective humans just casually walking around yet every fawking one NEEDS to have a baby; natural or not. I hate people. (I may feel different tomorrow but…)
You will not deter me from my salad and smoothie no matter how good tacos sound right now! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f6ee94e473588732fecf18201725ec4d1841f86c96a7e4be66f9132f5706c0a8.jpg
Aww. You don’t have a valentine?
I don’t know if that’s how supply and demand works?? ?
I feel like they’re gonna keep trolling folks pockets for the H.i.
Happy Valentine’s Day roses!!!! ?
No… I miscarried on Saturday and it was just a super reality check for hubby & I.
You could have taco salad.
You too boo ?
So sorry for you. ?
38??????
Hey.
Yuck. Hey pup.
That was really mean. Smh!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/035dfe5af7b7986ca8632db08ca3401b6c307b52fd85e3ef686dc39ccbf27f09.gif
Now I feel like a jackass. I’m so so sorry.
*dolphin laugh*??
Happy Valentine’s Day to you too
I undestand where you’re coming from, but DAMN!!???
Well look at her post again … Don’t … You’re not a jack azz … You saw the same post I saw
Thanks, but we really don’t want kids. The reality check was realizing how smart we are as individuals and yet how irresponsible we had been.
Don’t.
Right! Im still laughing at zoe.??
My condolences. ???

Wait … No Micheal Flynn post?
Guess Sandra’s embarrassed.
She look older than him! ?
After a couple of weeks of no rain and summer weather while in the midst of six more weeks of winter, it is about to pour rain all day. woke up with this song in my mind.
https://youtu.be/BBC7rJ2wt0E
Also, on topic, surrogacy can be more expensive than IVF, yes?
I know. I know. But come on, everyone knows.
How were u irresponsible? U guys are married. Just asking. No shade at all.
It’s fine. Really. I appreciate your care.
I thought they both were older. Sandy, I’m sure they did have to use IVF, since their marriage has never been consummated. John is a homosexual man, I’m so convinced.
In-vitro will some become a problem. Civilization is growing at a alarming rate. There soon become a time when only people with sufficient finances will be able to have multiple kids. This will be a huge issue in the near future.
I don’t believe the planet is overpopulated.
China already understands this
Here we damn go. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5c50c60696fe5575766ea4e89165ee8f672fbe086ee04eaeb5d8e60dd0eea8a3.gif
I love this song and Mahogany. Omg!!! Always makes ?. I wish it would rain here
Happy Valentine’s Day
I’m trying to be nice
Oh cut it out.
Exactly. And it will soon become a reality to every country around the world.
I’m just sipping … Not falling for it… ?
Oh so sorry. I did too. You’ll be ok. I promise.
Well damn
Well darn.
Pass me some Jen, please.
Smh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/93f72948ebb1ce03162a6be6377b17daf53ac25474b51a7a66ec79657218a6d7.gif
Sorry to hear. Now I understand the comment above. Coming from someone who has miscarried, the pain will get better
I love that movie. Just beautiful. I wanted to be a fashion designer/illustrator/seamstress/anything when I saw it at a very young age.
chile …
We are pretty close to that reality.
DAMN ZOE, its DAMN.
I mean we like SUPER don’t want kids, yet here we are just indulging in “married folks stuff”… All I was doing was using an ovulation tracker ?
I actually know better than that… But I’m 32 and never been pregnant so I thought that I was just less fertile than others… ? Whatever, this whole event this weekend was avoidable. Now I’m just laying around feeling like shat.
Smh…
Yall. I’m trying. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5ca6be23b3c2eb79c79aef2a2ccfdfc2a1ef1f0f0150d54212fb6406fdf1c9d7.gif
Is it too early for this

Girl it’s fine. I meant what I said in my original comment. It was harsh. I sounded like a sour patch kids. But folks annoy me with their rose colored lenses on (John+Chrissy).
hell I don’t … I miscarried as well last year …. shyt happens but never inflict your personal pain on others … you will not like the response js
At least wait until after lunch.
POW!
Well you said it for me lol
I understand your position.
that sounds like a plan right there … headed to the store ?
Sorry for your loss. ?
Lol!
I was so glad to do it for ya!?
Beyoncé aint but 35 Sandy, you got it right on a post yesterday
Sorry ?
Sorry for you as well. …It just happened to her yesterday. She’s still hormonal lol. It’s still part of her opinion though. Agree with it or not…. But I get what you’re saying
Aye!
girl I’m straight turn that shyt into a smile … ?? love ya
Love ya’ too!
If you can afford it I’m glad there are options.
?
I was about to reply to you, then saw the comments and was like: ?????
Lol soon as i get these estimates for my ride, im on it!
Yuck?
It’s expensive but worth it, Its a lot cheaper now than when my partner and I did kid number 1, the medicine alone is pricey. And when we went for kid #2 it was cheaper because we already had frozen embryos. It would have been a lot more expensive if he did have to hire a surrogate though.
Got it. Well if u guys dont want kids then i get it. Lesson learned. Nothing is by chance
Lol how are ya?
How old were you when you did it?
Maybe if really don’t want kids look into more semi or permanent options.
Take solice in the fact that you know for sure you DON’T want children. Then get on a form of bc.
Tacos….
It’s not personal pain… I’m fine. We didn’t want kids, it just was a shocker of how much we need to tighten up if we don’t want to fall into parent hood. I’m not upset, I stand behind my original comment. It’s hard AF being a human right now, especially a minority… Besides, the earth is actually at its capacity. Forced parent hood via IVF is just a selfish decision to me. That’s my opinion.
Who did y’all use to carry the baby?
Kid number 1 is 10 and kid number 2 is 6. We were 32 and 33, my friend who is the bio mom and carried them was 33 aswell.
Fresh tacos. With tortillas just made like 30 sec ago?
Wow what an awesome friend
Yeah ok …. the world is huge love…. and over populated ???move to the country if ya think so… but yeah OK… got nothing else to say… let folks make they babies .. if they like… wanting a child is far from selfish … it’s actually the opposite
The mother, she had been our friend for a long time. And didn’t want to be a full time hands on mom it just wasn’t her nature.
If you go to the mountains and just feel how different you breath with all of those trees around, you will feel differently… I’m not gonna get on my whole scientific pulpit today.
I would share my story with you but chile…..
Aww that’s awesome! Thank you for sharing. ??
Yeah she is awesome
I thought that whole story was odd why lie, Russians got everyone bought out.
Hmm im good on tacos.
No problem at all, I don’t mind it.
#StoryTime
Sorry to hear, may you heal heathy physically and emotionally ??
Sorry for your loss.
Congrats. That’s wonderful. But you have to agree that it changed the game. Population control has to be addressed. No disrespect to you and yours.
I remember reading of a similar situation, only it was a lesbian couple and the donor was a male friend. The couple later broke up and the man had to pay child support, I guess because the other lady hadn’t adopted the child.
Nah fran, the nuts is out.
Blasphemy.
It made being a parent possible for that that desire to be parents.
I get it. Just dont buy it. I’ve researched several theories as well.
Nachos last night ?
Gotcha! ??
Its just the west coast in you babe lol
Is Divorce Court real or fake? Because this one with the return of D’Atra Hicks is unbelievable.
You unnastand.
That’s what’s up.
Eat those plan b’s I always had some to push down a girls throat before I came in her. I can’t believe how much money I blew on those.
Same to you.
Wait whet?! Push down her throat. ???
He needs to get fixed its cheap and relatively painless.
Must be, cause between the taco truck and the tamale lady that rolls her grocery basket up and down the street yelling “TAMALES TAMALES” Trump gonna have a hard time deporting my peoples.
I met him in person…I’m not convinced
Go ahead and drink.
Plus he said Always.
She’s the legal mother on the birth certificate my partner is the legal father on the birth certificate for kid #1 and myself for kid #2. We are legally married. We took care of that legally with kid #1 and kid #2 and the Frozen embryos for that matter.
Yes…surrogacy is renting a womb
I know for sure folks can get on Maury and lie so it could be. Everything is extra drama filled to secure ratings.
????? we have em here too but i cant
I’m quite disturbed.
Awesome!
got some good ? Friday AND Saturday still daydreaming about it and started a cleanse Sunday
Isn’t she the women who was singing in court?
Neither do I. its the allocation of resources that’s the problem
The air at the mountains *is* different but that has more to do with elevation, no
Ugh… You need to stop giving medical advice.
There was that time when he was performing and some lady was dancing on him and he did get hard. Couldve been involuntary, i dont know.
Exactly!!
Lol ?
POW!!
Such a blessing for yall. Im glad it worked
Then don’t, no reason why 30+ year old making 15 year old mistakes.
Yes, and she’s been in some Tyler Perry plays that’s why I wondered if she was performing on DC.
Hell i cant hardly breathe in the mountains….
that humming lady?
Don’t come through here making sense. ???
I agree. We got it from here. ?
Agent Orange’s supporters are too dumb to be embarrassed.
See I be like this. So much I wanna tell yall but these ignant, fool, gutter-butt trolls…I aint got time
I need suggestions for a men’s cologne, but nothing that smells too good.
Thank you.
Why nothing that smells too good?
Lol could be back in the day it seemed real, nowadays who knows.
Jay z gold….
Wait whet?! ? You don’t want your man to smell too good?
Light Blue, Lacoste
For my daddy and jury still out on new gf
Half of these people aren’t even dealing with fertility issues…they just want to get pregnant on their time and not Gods.
Eat the plan B before smashing if they hesitate then I put a condom on simple, I ain’t got time to answer a hundred questions at that moment lol.
This is a great option, I just want him to also encourage people (if he hasn’t already) to do research on success rates, as folks see celebrities with success stories and multiple babies and think this is it.
I know a couple who went through it and both IVF’s were not successful, although they were successful with the first child through this process, so there is some emotional downsides to this for the husband and wife. When they recently did this, it was an ectopic that almost killed the wife…..like emergency room, blood transfusion situation and she is still suffering the affects of that.
Definitely do your homework, get all tests done on all parties to have a clear idea of whether it is the woman or man who that has the “issue” with infertility and make sure you are okay with the financial burden (as sometimes it requires more than 1-2 implantations). And definitely be prepared for the possibility that it may not happen….I hate to see people who don’t prepare for that.
Not my man. My deddy
Petty
Savage
Very
Oh ??
I like all the Polo collection….classic
its ok to have IVF if ur having fertility probs imo. its those designer babies that are creepy af!!!
ALL of em…
Share it and then after those you care about responding do respond…let delete be your friend.
Made for TV
She was on there 12 years ago divorcing her husband, who brought his mistress to court. On this new one he’s in court against the mistress and D’Atra shows up as the other woman.
Polo
Idk but the judge is too cute.
That Red & the Black are fire….
Marc blanc is my favorite Polo red is also good. Nautica blue if you ain’t trying to break the bank. Lacoste white hard to find but smells really good.
Chanel Platinum. It’s a panty dropper..

I offered to be a surrogate for my cousin and his wife, since I was Fertile Myrtle. but she said if she couldn’t do it on her own, she ain’t want to. Years later, she come and asked, but by then, I was unable.
My daughter offered to carry for one of my long time gf’s. They are still discussing that.
Can I ask you something-are both of you fathers or just one?
I remember an episode of the now defunct series Brothers and Sisters where one of the brothers was sterile and he had two of his brothers donate sperm and they mixed it together to fertilize the egg.
I don’t believe they wanted to know which one was the biological father.
My sister spent 80 grand on IVF…she got pregnant 3 times but lost them each time. after that they adopted and it was the greatest blessing ever
And smart, full of good advice.
I said not too good. I don’t want no panties to drop.
Agreed
Yeah that too….?
I definantly suggest doing your homework first, checking out the Doctor and his/her success rates. What major hospital is the clinic affiliated with. How many embroyos do they implant. That should be discussed. For us it was no more than two.
HaHa! Gone get let Pops bust that thang down for ValentiMes Day!!
and have multiples
Hell naw. The last one was trying to get pregnant.
Lawd….
I just mentioned how people have to be really prepared mentally and emotionally (as well as financially) for this, as it doesn’t always work. It is really sad to watch people you care about go through it. Even the hormone injections are trying on the woman, in preparation.
Ok you answered below.
Too many dudes rock red now I can’t mess with it no more can’t smell like everyone else.
Lacoste!! People sleep on em
I’m happy things worked out for your sister and she has become the parent she wanted to become. We fostering right now so adoption is a possibility. But we both wanted biological children and were blessed to be able to afford the procedure so we did it.
Yes it was a really hard time and very draining. In the end her adopted son looks just like she spit him out. She got him when he was about 6mos. Our boys share a birthday, 1 year apart
And even with that, there is the chance that it may not be successful. After watching them go through the rashes at the injection sites for the hormones, and all the rest and lose the babies each time, after successful implantation….I always impress it on people to be prepared either way.
These stars tend to share the success stories and rarely share the other part, which is equally important if you are “promoting” it.
I have always had fertility issues and a couple chemical pregnancies. The doctors told me while I was in my 20s that I would either have to take fertility drugs or use IVF. It hurt like hell to hear that but I refuse to go through the unnatural way due to finances and for me it’s just something off about doing it that way for me personally.
Amen
That’s beautiful. I know several adopted kids who look just like one of the adopted parents. Adoption, IVF, just plain hunching…whatever floats your boat, I’m happy for ya!
Black is my fave
that Fahrenheit is everything!!!!! #grown&sexy
Definitely a blessing for them and the child.
What happened to having patience and leaning on the Lord for understanding of HIS will?
*****************************************************
Hebrews 11:11
Through FAITH also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Your daddy is a Granpa Bae? Him a silver fox??
We each fertilized eight of her eggs. Which she has control over when and if they get used. We signed up for two.
Wish more people would do that
Sara also forced her husband to cast out her husband’s first born son.
Wow. That’s sad that couples have to go through all that, emotionally and financially. And meanwhile we have so many chickenheads who can get pregnant just like that, and just pop out baby after baby like its nothing.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ad69b95fa97d0eb7967acd8001bf0b10e702cdeee0e565745b56676533536803.gif
????????
Speaking of fertilization, Happy Valentine’s Day, SR Ladies! ??
Awwww, sookie! Do it Pops!!!
Acqua di Gio. Best I ever smelled. Daddy Arm wore it.
Wait…..didn’t Sara have her husband lay with Hagar multiple times until she was finally impregnated? Uhn Uhn, tell the whole story…Sara wasn’t faithful for a long time, she actually laughed at the idea that she would conceive and then tried to play God and have another woman fulfill what was promised to her.
Didn’t Sara have to deal with a baby mama from back in the day where Moses had to tell him, yes you are the father. What did the Bible say about keepth thy penis in thy pants.
I am going to agree with the first part and ignore the last part, LeBrick.
Agreed! I believe Michal Jackson’s kids are designer babies. I do believe they have his DNA but it was manipulated. I studied designer babies in bioethics.
Ohhhh. Well Daddy Arm used to smell good allatime. Soo…I would wear his cologne sometimes.
Sara gave up the slave Hagar to get a baby and made that woman hate her for it!
It is usually the ones who are adamant about not wanting them are the ones who can have as many as they want without issues; I am sorry for your loss. I am as infertile as they come no matter how hard I tried it couldn’t happen no contraception or ovulation kits needed.
I would’ve done anything to swap places with you (minus miscarriage ) but at least knowing you could conceive again with no problem if you wanted to.
Lawd Pup! LOL
After she was the one who planned the whole thing, cause she ain’t have one yet.
Barren, wow. Haven’t seen that word in a long time. I felt like a truck just ran over my ovaries when I saw that word.
Fugg her.
Yup trifflin.
And she laughed at God’s promise…..nope Sara got right long after the fact!!
Don’t let me get started on the murder of Cain killing his brother Abel.
It is a crude and hurtful word…I chose to ignore it!
Today is a special day,
We call our own…..It’s our anniversary. 5 years today ?
Thanks doll
?
Man is it that hard for you to keep Beyonce out of every single write-up? You becoming obsessed!
Congratulations
Folks don’t care about the Lord’s will…it’s only about what they want and they want it now.
I remember when i was growing up, i had a cousin that stayed trying to have another baby but she kept losing them. She stayed in the prayer line, etc. Finally, in her 40s she conceived and had that baby. Guess what happened next…she got pregnant again within the next couple years and wasn’t even trying?.
Congrats!!
I see having multiples is the new thing..Don’t ya’ll regular pay check peeps start with this nonsense…
Terre dhermmes ( pure perfume)
Well I’ll find out the name of the one my co worker seems to bathe in, the whole section smells like him and it has a scent of Care Free Curl it’s like he wears the entire gift set.
Here we go with the “I have the right” BS again. Let’s just hope all these parents are the “true” parents of these babies… Mess around and get a baby with red hair… lol… Ya’l remember that story?
“Today is a special day
Not Just Anyday
And you can have everyyyy
Thing you Want your way”
Tell you supervisor you’re leaving
Early today
And I’m
wil-ling to pay
For the rest of your day
Girrlllllll”
You on my level.
Congrats!??
Oh, didn’t read second half; disregard my selection
I’m already a mother of multiples.
So, we just gonna skip over the Flynn resignation and Omarosa bullying story? I guess we only do selective blogging about #45.
It’s Valentine’s day, so shouts out to to everybody that wifed up a freak but they still in love smh lol it’s a day of love lol
Yes! Amen to that!
Bingo! But to balance that, some of these folks gotta go! Trump, Bush, Hillary… I ain’t got no fight in me today.
Nothing
Not everyone needs to have kids the planets over populated ,theres so much social pressure to be in relationships,get married ,have kids but a lot of folks should work on themselves first ,live life have some experiences . Kids can be a delight but it’s a intense ,long commitment.
Congrats
Cheeto loves the tv ugh….
Well in John and Chrissy’s defense she had been clear for a long time about her struggles, I remember Tyra as well before she got a surrogate and had her baby.
He needs to stroke his ego every 2-5 minutes or less.
i advise anybody over 35 w/o kids to not have them. why give up the freedom for the sake of passing on genes
So it’s time for bible study ?
It’s national let your inner hoe out day ?
Hey @summer & @nucy ?
Okay….then Imma rock with John then.
Tone down your mean girl dial. Ain’t nobody even tryna fight today. Find real joy.
I know this is cold but I’ve secretly always wondered if people can’t reproduce naturally either initially or even again after they have already had a child, should they be having children? Like maybe there is a reason they could not reproduce. I’m not even overly religious, but maybe the lord just didn’t want you having a baby! Especially the Teigens! I am so tired of Chrissy Teigen!
They don’t hear you tho
Of course she will….Anyway, lil Luna is ADORABLE….All I gots fa dis…
the earth is not even close to being over populated. The entire population of the USA can fit in the state of Florida. They’re lying to us with that nonsense.
Yup….and they done put Sara on the hot plate. Said she was Faithful and folks wanting babies should be like her….totally left out how she pimped out her slave’s womb BEFORE this faith kicked in. Le Sigh
It shows.
The intel community is coming for them all one by one. That is one part of the government you want to stay on the good side of.
BIG TIME!!
Got dayum!!!!! Lawrence was a good man. Binging is done. Lemme go workout
Oh dear
Bloop
Yeah, but they already selected who the scape goats/fall guys are going to be.If folks think Flynn was the or one of the masterminds behind this…..they crazy!! Mark my words, they lining this up for Pence to take over. He been quiet as a church mouse and only pops up to make tie-breaking votes for folks have out major cash (oh my fault “donations”)
Yeah, it was cold. But you prepared for any fall out from it, right?
How you really feel, huh
I don’t like the idea at all. But I can understand the desperation.
I’d rather not meddle and move things around. I’d rather have all things in one place and see what happens. There might be a reason why you aren’t conceiving, sometimes God blocks stuff for a reason–but it’s human nature to not wait.
So many woman are waiting until their old to start trying and I’m wondering why they are so shocked they aren’t conceiving….
Nevertheless, their baby is adorable.
You should know. Happy Valentine’s Day to you too.
But how much space does every person require? If you can have 2500 square feet and I got 700, then eventually that will become a problem.
Got time today.
Is YOU gone pay for it, John?
We still in here?!?
Give us Free Sandra!!
She had something to complete in her life before God was ready for her to have kids. When she was ready, God gave them to her. Praise God!
blame the world for making people think they have to conform to societal standards.
I’m glad that John spoke out about it, there are so many couple doing it Mariah, Jennifer Lopez and we can’t forget Pharrell ( triplets, really?). Sadly, when they speak up this is what they encounter.
YirmeYahua (Jeremiah) 10:2
“Yahuah says, learn not the way of the other nations…”
Research the origins of Valentine’s Day….?
Aww…hugs
This what we doing today?
I agree, but make no mistake. Trump is going to take the whole republican party with him when he goes down. That’s why dems should just shut up and eat popcorn. Except for Hillary her shady tweets lately have been the best.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b7188a406392d6edea5a954a2b2e02df248a6a623fbef0c902dfe71e729060f4.gif
So question…If conceiving is in God’s hands and even after you go to IVF and are successful and birth a healthy child or two………isn’t that also God’s will? I mean if you are going to say He has the last word….He can prevent this from happening and/or end it.
IJS
I mean….when you make this post and admit the coldness…..you are pretty much prepared for the fall out…or you must be new.
I think most know to learn “not” the way of the heathens
?
Hey girl!
Chrissy annoys me too
How do we know all of the stars are doing something to get multiples? Yes some are. But nobody thinks out of ALL of those folks NONE of em got some twins natural? There is a set of twins here I went to school with. WISH I could say their names. One of them is now a mom of triplets. Black ones. Which is even more rare. Not everyone on fertility drugs.
That’s a good question. I guess it’s relative. Some folks like a lot of space and others don’t.
That earth is overcrowded talk is an agenda for depopulation. When the Most High said be fruitful and multiply, I’m confident who knew how much real estate he created for us
I Hope your money is off to a great start!
Who is too say these celebrities weren’t having just as hard a time conceiving as a regular person. Its not the celebrities fault 2 or three embryo’s took. Its what the doctors implanted to ensure at least one took.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e4f1a1ff24e1643590eaca0130e4cc23248b8619043366e70dbd6215340766a1.gif
I hope so. All is good on your side?
The Dems are having their work done for them, but they have to be outspoken on some things, as they are already labeled the “pucci party”….sorry but they whole crew has about one set of balls that they rotate! Hillary, Sandy and Elizabeth have bigger cojones than the guys!
I NEVER HAD A BABY THE ^FATHER^ WASN’T READY FOR ME TO HAVE…
yes it is, and you?
So true!
Neither did I!! All 4 times He had me ready even when I didn’t know I was!!
I have a two year old and almost everyone who has a child the same age is either pregnant again or recently gave birth. How are these people affording 2 kids plus college savings plus vacations, bills etc? My husband and I make decent money so I don’t get it?
You got Irish twins?
Burberry Touch for men.
Elizabeth is setting her self up nicely for 2020. Now if we can just find a box for Bernie Sanders her irks my soul…lol
Cool. I’m fighting a cold. Heading out to the state house to run an errand. Hopefully, it won’t get worse while I’m outside
“but maybe the lord just didn’t want you having a baby”….Ion know because, Casey Anthony, Mary Anne Macleod and Mama Keef was allowed to have babies so….
Some people prefer to have kids later in life after they’ve had freedom.

Hey girrrl..?
Yes. They are 10 years apart.
I do!! Point?! One turned 1 23 days before his brother was born. I took the time to heal and all and as soon I got busy….BABY!! Chose to keep him…so again Point?!
BTW they are 24 and 23 now, closer than close (with the occasional brotherly disagreement), productive working respectful men!!
23 year old born on my 26 year old’s birthday!!
Helllller. Can you hear meh
I believe these celebs or at least some had problems Mariah actually talked about her problems. I don’t have a problem with the way they go about it, it how mean people can get when they speak out about it. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/89c98e92171870caaf5a272d63fe8c0b244d337543079ed9a9750bd378d2a8fe.jpg
Not Irish twins.
This fool be having me WEAK!!! lmao
Did you switch up to girls during that time? Just curious
Nope……..switched up to boys….try again!
YOU FORGOT THE LIP QUIVERS! ???
you can lead a folk straight to scripture in red text, coming from Jesus mouth and folk still gone find a way for it to not apply to them.
Just asking lol no disrespect.
Omg…maybe freedom is having a child to live love and care for?
Or is your definition the only one?
Lmao!! ” and that woooownt chaaaange”
Whether you wanted them or not its ok to mourn your baby
Why you care? Just asking
Yaaaass!?
Count the months……..technically they are…..only added 23 days to the “12 month rule”
Ok interesting tactic.
i dont think being responsible for some one is freedom. Im not saying it may be 18 years of burden either tho
I am sooooo behind on Joanne. Last one I caught

GIRL.
Mind your Uterus.
I’m not begrudging anyone for wanting to become a parent.
As a person who wasn’t sure if she’d be able to carry a child and barely did it. It is a blessing.
The feeling of that baby moving inside of you, I want every woman who wants to experience that to experience that.
I have friends who’ve had to use IVF some successfully some not and for a host of different reasons.
Girl. Just stop.
There are 7 sets of natural twins in my family.
New Post
Celebs
What I do? I answered and asked a question.
I ain’t being disrespectful
????
I’m concerned about you
don’t want you to get caught up in this blog foolishness. They will bully you one day and be trying to console you the next day. They like drug dealers running a rehab center lol
i can dig that but but a 40 year old with a newborn doesn’t seem fair. when you hit 60 they’ll be 20, when they 30 you’ll be close to checking out
The fake speaking to the girlfriend. I CAINNNNNT
Thank you! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/02597a227efd568a379270a068198455c83bca325c8b4801299bad160fc4654d.jpg
This fool here!!??
The 23 days makes a difference. It’s if one is born before the other turns 1 year old that makes them IT.
Facebook slander.
Oh i know. Im just saying dont engage.
They will be 60 anyway.
Don’t over think it…where there is a will there is a way…
I personally wouldn’t want to do it.
Thank you, but trust……I can’t be bullied about a damn thing that I willingly said and I am very confident about who I am.
If folks can bully or try to bully you about something you said on a blog, when you didn’t have to……evaluate yourself. If you think that you may be bullied…….don’t say it.
I got time….today and I am in a pretty pleasant mood.
That’s true. We have religion and poor leadership to blame for that.
I know lol my nephew and niece are IT. They stay at each throats lol
You really want to argue over this? They are my Irish Twins and my daughter and middle son are twins too….born 3 years apart. You want to go through semantics with that too.
It finds away of working out, it always does. But some couples prepared for this long before they found out they were pregnant.
What the fuckk are you talking about?? Was i speaking to you or about you? Find real joy??? Did you really font that shit after what you said earlier. FOHB!
well, when you’re coming out of college with nearly six figures of debt, the job market isn’t as great, and viable options for responsible men are in low abundance, i don’t think it’s so much that they’re “waiting,” it’s that they’re being responsible and not having a child when they can’t take care of it. i don’t really understand you people. you damn a single mother who has to be on welfare, and then damn an older woman who attempted to wait until she was financially and mentally abled to raise a kid.
everybody gonna turn 60 one day….hell grandparents take on grands at that age and older……
Ok.
My daughter was planned to the T. We saved, bought a house in the suburbs, knew we could afford college. A second one means somebody ain’t going to college and paying $1600/month in daycare?. Do people just say F it and we’ll figure it out later?
I know full Irish Twins…..Born same same, same exact day of the month, but I call mine what I call them, as I was literally potty training and planning a 1st birthday while preparing for a newborn.
I am bored….boss going on vacation so work load is decreasing. And I sometimes like going back and forth with Scromes….cause it is entertaining. LOL
thats true but you need parents at those crucial ages especially if you ave kids in your late 20’s
Yup and they turn out fine.
i feel you
Aight ma’am..??
I don’t know…I think deciding to bring a child in the world is the perfect time to “overthink it”.
You like dyke a lot for someone who only deals in puzzy now lol but it’s all good. To each her own. Hell I love puzzy to, so I can see the interest
I said what I mean and I mean what I said. Now go ahead and block me ??
I like what I like……there you go trying again.
And FYI…..I had pucci first. NICE TRY…..again!!

And I surely thought ya azz was gay….you have a lot of female tendencies!
Lol…no disrespect.
Naw……..asked you a serious question. You really want to argue over this? Imma guess no!
Thank you. It’s definitely emotionally conflicting being that I didn’t want to be pregnant but I felt terrible that I in fact was, and there was the beginnings of another human inside of me. I’ll be so glad when my hormones rebalance themselves.
U made your decision…u over thinking by trying to understand someone’s else decision
Lol it’s all good. But just remember, d*ck rules lol. When you get done eating puzzy I’ll still be here
all love.
Hmm. I’m surprised you extracted all that negativity from what I said. Physically….the older you get the harder it becomes to conceive as any doctor can show you…that was my reason for saying I’m surprised how shocked older woman are for not conceiving.
And the single mother on welfare comment must have come from someone else and you’re just venting to my comment.
Have a wonderful day (scratching head).
I am good!! but thanks for the offer!! CTHU……..you are an azz, but I think you know this and revel in it.
Maybe they didn’t wait until they were old. Maybe, just maybe, as you say, things are the way they are for a reason.
What’s in YOUR uterus? ~Samuel L. Jackson~
Oh I see. I actually have people telling me almost everyday to have another and it is pretty annoying. I was just trying to see what others thought…
No, I don’t need to argue because I’m right and I’ve seen what a bully you can be. You have Alternative Irish Twins. The End.
If you say so lol I’m doing me. Period
My younger siblings are 4 years apart and my step mother preferred it that way not for financial reasons but to space them out so she would be less stressed. While she’s caring for the infant the other is going off to kindergarten.
?…
?…?
I shan’t.
Yes it is most definitely…taking man made drugs just speeds up the process
That’s what I did, and for the very same reason. I have 2 boys, 5 years apart.
I’m just blogging. My goal was not to write a 30 page book report on all cases and feelings behind the matter.
Not sure of the “they” we are referring to here but statistically women are having kids at an older age. The ones I know…CHOSE to wait until their career went further but were shocked when the DOCTOR told them the chances are now much lower. As women, our bodies change when we get older and our eggs dwindle as time goes on making it harder, not impossible, to conceive.
On the flip side, no one is checking for the woman or she can’t find a good man and choses not to be impregnated by a random man — this is wise.
On the flip side, some women abort a lot and then when they’re ready the DOCTOR tells them they messed themselves up and now it’s going to be hard to conceive. I personally know a few woman who did this. No judgment it’s just what happened.
Sometimes it has nothing to do with the woman AT ALL…it’s the man that can’t produce for whatever reason.
There are hundreds more reasons, I’m sure, but in my comment above I chose to ponder the case where women chose to wait. It’s my comment, so I also chose to also say for me, I’d rather not meddle with God’s natural process. And thank God I was able to naturally hold 2 beautiful boys within my uterus and conceive them naturally as well. Thank you Lord.
Have a wonderful day, dear.
When did I bully? You know what,….you got your alternative facts and I got mine. Have a good one!
My father was 65 when his youngest was born….he’s an adult now and my daddy is old but still gets around just fine.
Lol because maybe the family life and settling down is what they want right now… different lifestyles desire different things
Who told you to read the ENTIRE chapter?! ?
Or helps it. But if He didn’t want it to be, it wouldn’t.
You weren’t supposed to readeth nor posteth that.
Here YOU come. ?

Oh, that’s easy. Stop by the hair store, in the parking lot you should find an old suv with CD’s, DVD’s, incense and body oils displayed on the hood of the vehicle.
I know, right? ?
I think I got pregnant on this stuff. ?
i hear you
What I do? They citing Sara and the “example” and her hands weren’t hardly clean!! LOL
I do a lot of scripture reading…be amazed at all the adulterous and trilfin’ stuff them folks did back then….clutching pearls and all.
Shyt David had a man killed cause he impregnated the man wife!! CTHU

They’ve eaten lunch already somewhere?
…Whet? ?
?????
I swear I heard Flipper.
We went for IVF after years of trying it naturally, then using ovulation sticks and temperature charts, then taking clomid and femara to ovulate, then 2 laparascopies to remove my endometriosis in between.
My husband had a sperm analysis and he was perfectly fine. The dr timed my ovulation, made my husband and I have sex at 5am then come in the office at 7am to check my cervical mucus. All they could find were dead swimmers. See my eggs and ovulatipn were fine but endometriosis had caused my body to identify any sperm as a foreign object and attack it. As soon as the sperm reached my cervix, my body killed it – hostile cervical mucus. We did those tests for 3 months. Zero sperm could survive in me.
Drs said that my best chance was ivf because while sperm couldn’t survive an embryo could. So they combined my eggs with his sperm. It was expensive and emotionally draining. We opted for 2 embryos because we were so cynical about even 1 catching.
I’m now 22 weeks pregnant with twins! I was very lucky I got pregnant on the 1st round. I thank God that I live in an time where this is a possibility for me. I am very happy and excited and scared about what the future holds.
I have used fertility treatments to conceive my daughter. I work for a major hospital in my city and my insurance pays for IVF. So for couples who can or do work for a major health care company, check your benefit package. My coworker didn’t know we had this benefit. She had a hard time conceiving…….Needless to say she ended up with triplets but one dissolved so she ended up with identical twin girls…..Both of our girls will be 14 this year……
Oops, my coworker ended up with triplets but two dissolved but one egg split which gave her identical girls…….
kudos to you hun….my insurance wont pay for ivf….
I always am!
Nothing wrong with IVF, adoption, etc. Some good parents can’t conceive and try other methods but they are still parents. Kudos to JL for encouraging someone else going through the same thing.
wow….that’s amazing….
God bless you and those babies. He is able I tell ya!!
lol…me and my sister are 14 months apart…it happens.
Congratulations and thank you Jesus. I truly believe in the healing hands of fertitility doctors. We was not able to do any rounds of IVF because its so expensive. We did many rounds of IUI’s, clomid, shots, testing etc. We got pregnant after our last round of IUI. Until you experience having issues with fertitility you have no idea how emotional draining it is for a couple and family. May God bless you and your blessings from above.
Lol
Congratulations! God bless you and your family
He is! I am so thankful
Do you work for a major healthcare facility? If not, it may be worth it to get a part time position that offers semi full benefits….It’s worth it if you can. Even if you or your (hubby?) can get a part/full time gig at a facility that offers fertility benefits. To me, it’s worth a shot. I took the fertility pills called clomid and got preg the first month. So, if you cant get a job there, you can go to your obgyn and have her refer you to a reproductive endocrinologist and get a script for the fertility pills called clomid…They do work and you have a increased chance for twins/trip because the medicine stimulates your ovaries to produce healthy eggs for conception and the medicine can be strong enough to release two or more eggs during ovulation…..I paid $20 to fill my prescription for the Clomid pills…..Good Luck……..
yes I do work for a major healthcare facility but ……I will be 47 in 2weeks…and ive given it up to The man upstairs about having a baby now…IMO….im too old to have one now….I just love ALL my nieces and god sons. Im at peace with it now.
P.s. when I took my pregnancy test (blood) she called me right back into the office to check for multiple pregnancies. My Hcg count was high for a single pregnancy…..When she scanned me, there was just one baby, but she said based on my Hcg levels….She suspected a multiple pregnancy but it must of dissolved in my body because I only birth one baby…….
congrats on your bundle of joy
Thank you!
Congrats!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with IVF. I can’t conceive naturally and IVF is my only option. (Unless God shows out!!!)
Congratulations, happy for you!
??
No thanks, I hear the govt is involved making freaks an androids
Somehow i doubt John and Chrissy even have sex so they needed to do IVF
I wonder if Beyonce will use more of the beehives money for another pregnancy after the twins..
Nothing wrong with it at all if you can afford it.
Luna is so cute! my fav celeb baby
If she struggled with PCOS, I wonder if she ever tried oil pulling with coconut oil? Maybe she never got the memo and jumped straight to IVF. Either way, babygirl is here now and she’s truly gorgeous. Melts my heart every time I see her fat cheeks.
I do understand that, I just turned 41 myself…. This modern medicine is a beast…….lol……..I have a sis that didn’t want kids. She is 48 herself. Chile, on the flip side, the way this world is today……The worrying that is automatic, the tears are automatic, fear your child will get killed in this society…….It can be toooooo much to handle……even tho, I am still considering fostering a teen girl my daughter age to give back to society. No kid should graduate from high school with out the support of somebody before her life really starts………Sorry for the rambling……lol
all good hun….thanks And your so right about the children
This simp made a daughter, no surprise there.
Easy for you to say. He got the coins to do so. How about he starts a foundation for coupls having infertility issues. I’ll wait. LOL
I just want to know why Chrissy Tiegen gets a such pass for what is clearly ratchet behavior. If she was a sister,,,,
That’s the best air quality I ever experienced. Especially with the way my allergies set up
In-vitro is expensive and you’d have to go thru the proceed more than once. Remy Ma was explaining how she think it is unfortunate for women who want children, but can’t afford in-vitro.
