It seems that many of the folks coming to this blog are reaching it because they’re looking for information on the fertility drug article in Oprah’s magazine. As a public service to those folks, here’s a collection of links to some actual medical professionals who have made it their business to point out the (many, many) fallacies in that article:
Now back to our regularly scheduled program....
There is also INCIID http://www.inciid.org/!!!

Ooops, sorry about that. The exclamation marks messed up the link. http://www.inciid.org
I'm disgusted with what I've discovered about Oprah's take on infertility treatments and the O article. Here's someone who could do so much GOOD for others and instead she's helping to spread horrid, inaccurate information. Ugh!

Well I'm really late on this conversation but today she managed to have infertility addressed briefly in a segment on women in their thirties.
It started OK but she managed to piss me off once she asked the woman about reaching an acceptance of her infertility, the possibility of adoption and then went there . . . . you know . . . that thing when people get pregnant once they adopt.
The woman "Jenn" set her straight and told O. that those are the worst comments people make.
Ugh!
(PS I googled Oprah + infertility and landed here, back in time.)
