I think infertility is just as hard on men as it is women. My aunt told me that she was with her first husband for 7yrs, no children, no pregnancies. He would blame her and tell everyone that she was sterile. When they were together and people would ask "when are you guys going to have a baby"? He'd say "ask her, she's the one that cant get pregnant" he was a total a$$ to my aunt. His family didn't like her because of all the unsavory things that he was saying about her....Anyway, they ended up divorcing and when they divorced he told her that he was happy, now he can find him a "real woman". My aunt happily moved on with her life and remarried 3yrs later and within 6 months of being married she got pregnant and delivered a beautiful healthy baby boy. 3yrs later she had another baby, a girl. 2yrs after that another girl. She ended up running into one of her former in-laws and they were surprised to see her with all these beautiful children and a ring on her finger. That former in-law told her that her ex was still childless and had remarried as well. 🤔 Then 20yrs later she ran into him at a gas station and sure enough, he was divorced again and you guessed it, CHILDLESS.....It was him the whole time. Turned out, he was the one with infertility problems and going around making women miserable because of it.......
Wow, I'm happy your aunt was able to have children. Shame on her ex husband though
Imagine back in the day what it was like for women whose husbands had a low sperm count and they got blamed for the lack of children. Remember that king that killed all his wives because they couldn’t get pregnant, today we know that he was the issue not them.
It took me and my husband 3 years of trying to get pregnant with my oldest son and I hated people always asking “when are you and your husband going to have a baby??” Meanwhile we were trying our hardest and it wasn’t happening. That’s why I don’t ask people questions like that. It’s personal and if they want me to know they’ll tell me. You just never know what someone’s going through so it’s best to keep your mouth shut.
@@nataliec1964 ...I agree 💯💯💯
It sounds like she end up dodging a bullet. Imagine if that marriage went on and they had kids. He was abusive then, he would’ve been with those kids.
I wonder if these sweet couples were ever able to have a child, I’d love a follow-up!
I miss this version of Oprah
Me too
Me too
Me too
I have been grateful every day for being able to have my two children. My heart breaks for anyone who wants a child and can't get pregnant
Thank you for posting this to UA-cam. It's just as important now as it was 35 years ago.
I know a lady who was married for 7 years when she was younger and had no children. People looked down at her and blamed her. Her father died so she had to move closer to her mum to help raise her younger siblings and support her mum. The husband divorced her they went their separate ways. Years later she got married and now has two kids a boy and a girl. Her ex husband sadly died but never had kids.
I thought it was really sweet that the other women started comforting Kay. I really feel for her. When they all were talking about accepting the 'death' of the baby that they never conceived it was really touching.
What a ride trying to conceive was🙄 Giving up was my best option... I'm still open to the possibility of a miracle though😊
Great show Oprah. 👏
Watching this makes me so grateful for my son he’s 14 right now but I know what it’s like to want to have a baby and we need these reminders when these babies turn into teenagers and they stress us out anyways thank you for posting
Really good episode. Oprah carried the conversations with dignity and good information from a variety of experiences. I also enjoy how people spoke even 30 years ago.
I can relate, I really feel denied because I still don't have. I pray that one day I will not have the desire and be content of my fate.
Wishing you all the best Noxolo
It took us to get pregnant with our first child 3 years and 2 years for our 2nd one both times it happened after we stopped thinking about getting pregnant. I am praying for you to have God bless you with beautiful healthy babies amen
How about adopting? A friend of mine did that a few years ago and she's happy.
That last caller sounded like Diane Downs 🤣 her voice sounded so similar.
My husband and I went through 12 Cycles of IVF. We finally succeeded! This journey is not a joke. Its a WAR! We suffered immensely! I started a UA-cam Channel to heal and share my experience to motivate others. Love this show and it's intention.
So true sis. So glad this was recently posted
@@Faithfullfertilitytv your welcome
My heart goes out to the divorced woman on the panel.
Not being able to produce children is not a deal breaker for me.
Me either. Ahhh yes 0:58 that's ME!
You are very not to have such a desire, it paralyzes you.
@@noxolosakang6547 Christ love all people.
The 80s had the best music
The best
Even back then, Oprah was so, so sensitive...I love her.
My heart goes out to them all. This is so hard.
Don’t come for me, I just feel like people need to learn to be content with their circumstances. Their desire to conceive is taking the joy out of their marriage. That’s just my two cents.
They can also adopt. People who truly want children do not have to simply be resigned to being childless for life.
Back then as well as today, there are so many children in desperate need of a loving home.
My heart breaks for that blonde southern woman. 🥺
Everyone looked like a best in show poodle 🐩 in the 80s
Oprah always had best intros. Thanks for posting!
Hubby & I are struggling through infertility. We used to hate each other, luckily not anymore. We are still doing out IUI & IVF. I am in debt. But we are slowly not being obsessed about it as we used to be. I'm 41yrs old. I will try til I'm 45. I got 4yrs more to go.. 45 is my deadline..
Best wishes. I hope you are successful with your tries and get the baby you so desperately want.
How about adopting? Why do people insist on having only birth children?
There are so many kids out there waiting for forever families.
@@distorbia20 thank you so much
@@Coryraisa my husband & I would not mind adopting. We looked into it. We are on a waiting list. Until then we are still trying
@@cpvillacis:
Good, so glad to hear that!!! If you can, try lots of adoption agencies.
Have you considered international adoption?
There are so many kids awaiting adoption who need a love like yours.
Best of luck to you and I hope you have a wonderful family soon!
💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
Idk about anyone else but it's 2022 & I'm in the same seat... infertility with PCOS ✨
This is back when doctors didn't understand ovulation.
A 17 year old has just as much reason to hate an envy someone going through infertility. I hate it when a woman gets jealous and hates another woman going through so much. 17 year old pregnant girl one ups you on tragedy. Most of the time the 17 year old girl never lives a good life.
Ngl the shopping cart part was a little creepy or the teen mom thing
My fave O hairdo!! 😊
what if that happens to a couple(happy couple) so they can adopt..I mean if you can't have children and you don't adopt so who will adopt those children? sorry if this sounds rude but that's what I am thinking of
I agree. I think it's somewhat selfish to say you can't love a child that is not biologically your own. Having to adopt children forces you to acknowledge some less than flattering realities about yourself and your family, but hopefully that just makes you realize why you want children in the first place. Hopefully it makes you make the effort to consciously be the best parent to that child.
I totally agree. I had a hard time conceiving and finally just decided to stop letting it ruin my life and instead put that energy into helping a child that's already in the world. We ended up getting pregnant as soon as we stopped being miserable but absolutely want to foster kids one day.
So true!!!! Just as there are people wanting children, there are so many children in foster homes awaiting adoption and a forever family.
I disagree. Many adopted kids live through very difficult childhood because their adoptive parents had unrealistic expectations of adoption and the needs of an adopted child. If you feel you are not strong and selfless and understanding and compassionate enough to give everything to an adopted child, then please do not adopt one.
INAPPROPRIATE JOKE: “…one of these day I am going to just come home with a baby from a shopping cart…” 🤓❤️🤔
Yea I caught that too… like umm.. no ma’am that’s not a joke, you’re talking about kidnapping a child. She’d be in for a rude awakening if she ever tried to take one of my kids.
I caught that too!! Now I feel like I need to search her up to make sure she didn't eventually do that. She was willing to kidnap, but not adopt.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Apparently back then people had a better sense of humor and not everything was taken seriously like today!
Bom dia Opraha Winfrey eu só Victoria Deus ti a bênção e todos os dias da sua vida e sua família também. 👍👍👍❤❤❤
They could always adopt, or adopt a pet
Or adopt a child in need of a forever family.
There are so many children, even back in 1988, who need a forever family.
A series of temporary foster families doesn't do the trick for children.
it could be one of the other
The missing baby “joke” at 4:20 was scary not funny. I know she meant to be lighthearted but people do that for the same reasons.
Oprah looks like she was crying before the show began.
Probably...Oprah cries easily...it's sweet. 💜💜💜
May be she was reminded about the baby she lost when she was very young.
Not that woman saying she would kidnap a child from someone else so she could have one.. 😬
Infertility is like having cancer, but that’s over the top
I’m going to sound inconsiderate but they want a child SO damn badly but didn’t adopt? What makes you think your “miracle” baby is so much better than a child sitting in adoption? Nah, you don’t have my sympathy 🤷🏼♀️
All children are a blessing, but I knew God would allow me to have my own miracle
@@Faithfullfertilitytv like I said, your miracle baby isn’t any better than the children in a adoption.
Do you know how expensive that is ?
@@tmwick10 do you know how expensive IFV is? Especially multiple rounds and years and years of putting your body through it? I know how it goes 🙃
@@tmwick10 IFV (at least where I come from) can be anywhere from 15,000 - 3,000 dollars FOR ONE treatment. Let’s say your body doesn’t accept that so you’ll need more rounds. That’s another 15-30k as opposed to adopting a child that cost anywhere from 30-50k (I would know this because I have worked at hotels where people would stay so they can bring home they’re adopted baby)
So YES. I do know how expensive both ends of the spectrum are, adopting makes more sense if your body cannot produce a child of your own.
Adoption ?
Not an easy process
I am surprised they hated other mothers who were having babies instead of gating people that got abortions. No one mentioned that.
True Linda
I think l am infertile due to endometriosis.
👍👍💗
Get over it
You cannot called couple a family if they don't have their own children. how insensitive of Oprah to ask them, why is baby so important...well i guess she will never know that feeling because she choose not to have a baby...🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's a question. What, really?
The problem is they are trying too hard…
Every panelist had reproductive issues. That is a myth
Um no it isnt. The one woman has adhesions and the other man has low sperm count.
Oppie is EVIL!!!
My husband and i are childfree and loving it but i feel for couples who cant conceive.i know a couple who are so bitter that they seem to hate that we are choosing not to have children.its nothing to do with them.We been married 8 years and we are living in different states due to work so we we in long distance marriage .best part we can surprise each other so uts like we are still dating and the m excited to meet my boyfriend.i dont hate on you why you hate on me?? We dont impose our ideas on that couple and i fact we have ptayed that they become parents
