Unbelievable!
I sent an email to the show, and it went something like this.
I am not only appauled but totally outraged that there are women who are part of her production team and none of them feel how we feel? Maybe they are not stuggling with infertility...
Dear Tyra show,
I totally understand that you mean no harm in creating topics such as " do you know a woman obsessed with being pregnant?" But for people like me who are out here and have infertility issues, listenning to someone who can conceive tell us "give up", is not only hurtful but very heartless to tell somone especially a female, that we need to give up hope of ever having a baby of our own. I'll admit no one wants to face the fact sometimes that things might not happen, but giving up is not an option unless you are 50+. In the infertility world, we have a saying "you only need one egg to make a healthy baby". If you dont believe me go to ivf-infertility.com and check out the many women who gave birth. Sure it was hard but had they given up, there dream would have dissolved. In either event, maybe the show should be titled "Over 50 and obsessed with thrying to conceive". And how does Tyra do such a show, when at her age, I might juse see her at my local IVF clinic? Come on Tyra Show, have some compassion for a topic, really.

Wow. I just went to that link and I can't believe they would even consider putting on a show like that. I filled in the form with all bogus data and put this in the comments. Maybe it'll get to her/them through all the emails they should be blasted with by now
"How insensitive can you get? How can you label someone obsessive when all they want is to have a child of their own? How are they obsessive when fertility treatments lead to pregnancy then miscarriage -is a couple supposed to let it go when they are that close? or when they run into the misfortune of having a bad doctor? how do you tell a woman to stop wanting to be pregnant so they to can share their stories on childbirth and pregnancy? how do you tell a couple that they have no right to have their own children - to see the face of their loved one in their own children? "obsessed women" like you call them have nothing against adoption - just faith in God that one day they too will have their own children. Shame on you Tyra. Unless you've been in that person's shoes you have no idea what they are going through and you certainly have no right to call them "obsessed"
