Tyra Show

Here's one of her latest show topics...

DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN OBSESSED WITH BECOMING PREGNANT?

Do you know a woman who is obsessed with becoming a mom? Have you seen and heard her struggle for years, felt her unvoiced jealously and seen her desperation first hand? Have you watched silently for too long as she gets her hopes up only to be disappointed and heartbroken when she can’t conceive? Has she tried extreme methods and spent a lot of money to get pregnant with no luck? Do you want to finally tell her she needs to stop the emotional and physical stress on her body and seriously consider adoption or a surrogate alternative? If you know a woman who is obsessed with becoming a mom and getting pregnant, then SUBMIT BELOW.

Please do not submit unless you are willing to appear on “The Tyra Banks Show".

So of course I had to go and put in my two cents...

I am 33, have PCOS, and I'm infertile. And the last thing I would want is someone calling me "obsessed" about having a biological child, something our bodies are naturally built to do. Instead of being chastized by my friends who are fertile, I would hope that they would be supportive and empathetic about my struggles.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to have a biological child, but telling them to "just adopt" or "relax" isn't helpful to someone who is infertile. Rather, it alienates them from the people that they should be able to go to for comfort. We already feel like we're less of a woman because we can't have children, all the while watching other women (or teens) pop them out left and right.

I hope that you will change the subject of this show to "How to Help Your Friend Who is Dealing With Inferitlity" because there are women suffering in silence for fear that their friends and family will react just as you are asking them to.

Please do your research on infertility. Go to the Resolve website, talk to fertility specialists (known as reproductive endocrinologists) about procedures that women facing infertility have to put themselves through, read books and visit message boards designed for infertile women, etc...

Please do not air the show as the description reads! You are all about helping women find their true self and encouraging them to not be ashamed of who they are. But by calling infertiles "obsessed" you are doing the exact opposite, and it isn't going to raise an infertile's self esteem one bit.
