Giuliana and Bill
I feel so bad for them. Today's episode broke my heart for her, and looks like the previous for next week are not too good either.
Re: Giuliana and Bill
I agree with this, I can not wait for next week, they deserve some good news!

I don't think they are an option because didn't the doctor say taking the hormones required before an egg retrieval could potentially cause the cancer to grow/return? I think he said they would have to wait 3-5 years after she's been in remission.
I really hope they get good news. Next weeks episode should get a lot of viewers!
I think they probably could do more egg retrievals. It's pregnancy and the hormone surges that can be dangerous for her.
Did I miss something about the number of embryos that they had? I thought they said they retrieved a lot of eggs, but never mentioned how many fertililized.

I'm leaning towards them revealing that they are having a baby. I really pray that this is finally working out for them.
I hope so too...they really deserve to be happy!
She took a ton of hormones to stimulate her ovaries to produce so many viable eggs (remember when she was sick from her ovaries being overstimulated from the retrieval,) so I believe that future egg retrieval would be out as well. Also....I'm almost certain that they transfer more than one embryo to give it a higher likelihood of resulting in a pregnancy, so I think this would be their one and only shot. G mentioned last night that there were only 2 existing embryos.
I got this same feeling also. I thought I heard Bill say somewhere like 2012 was their year for a baby.
I really, really hope for some good news for them. I like them a lot and feel like it's just not fair....I watch their show and then watch shows like 16 & Pregnant, and think wow, the world is just not right.
I've been watching them more lately than I have in the past and I am actually really happy they are sharing their story. She cracks me up and he is so supportive - its nice to see that on TV.
Sometimes I watch beautiful people on TV and get jealous (I know I shouldn't) about how "perfect" their lives seem and its nice to see that they struggle too - and struggles that a lot of couples deal with and are embarrassed to talk about with their own friends and family.
I watched the E! True Hollywood story on her and was shocked at how she moved here and was unpopular for awhile, had super awful scolosis (sp) and was shot down by E! before getting her "big break". Not that I want people to struggle, but I gained mad respect for her!
Crossing my fingers for a pregnancy via surrogate!
i finally got a chance to watch the episode last night and i'm so glad i did. i hope that's a happy sobbing she's doing in the previews for the next episode (i know i certainly cried like that with my most recent BFP...DH wasn't sure if they were happy tears or what). they so deserve it.
i love so much that they share their struggles with the public. i thought it was very interesting that she said she feels like it would be irresponsible of her not to share and educate when she has an audience (she was referring to breast cancer at that time). my only gripe, and it isn't really a gripe i guess, is that while it's amazing that they share their IF struggles and help so many of us to feel like we aren't alone, it's also kind of tough to see them make decisions on IF treatment without the added concern that most of us have financially. obviously they have to go through the same thought process and emotional aspect, but at the end of the day they are able to go through multiple iui's and ivf's without money stopping them. they can decide to sign a contract with a surrogate within a very short period of time because the cost and fees don't matter. for the rest of us in real life, it isn't always that easy. there's a lot of saving and even then there are constraints on how many treatment cycles a couple can go through before the money runs out. it's extrememly frustrating to be struggling with IF and have someone casually suggest to simply go through ivf or adoption or surrogacy. those things come with hefty pricetags that G&B fail to mention. BUT. i'm still so glad they are sharing, it's a wonderful thing for them to do!
