  1. You are an amazing couple whose love for eachother is very obvious. I know that whether or not you have children **** you will always be together and quite frankly, I admire that. You two are fun and "real" and because of that I find myself laughing through every episode.

  2. With a long desired and long awaited pregnancy and the prayer for a healthy baby, the priority should be the health of the mother and minimal stress. A full house renovation is one of life's most stressful situations and clearly not in the best interest of the mom to be and baby. A move-in ready house would be so much less stress, ready soon if mom would need bed rest or if the baby came early. Bill will always have opportunities to exercise his architectural skills but this may be the only change for this baby. I had enjoyed watching the show but it is disappointing to observe this situation.

  5. I just wanted to share with you I had 3 miscarriages. I was so shook up with my first, they told me this happens (I was about 12 wks) and just try again soon. I did and lost two more babies. I finally found out that I was RH Factor and with my last pregnancy received Rhogam (sp?) shots every 12 weeks after being tested for the rhogram levels. My body saw every pregnancy as a foreign object, like a transplant patient after receiving a transplant, they take antirejection meds. So grieve and then when you two are ready try again. I did for the fourth time and my son in 15 now. You try again girl. You and bill won't regret it. Love you and your show. Bills great to, actually he's so funny. You two together are one. Keep your head held high and try, try, try again girl. Dreams do come true they just take time.

  6. I am so sorry for your lost and share the pain you are going thru. I too was unable to bear any children. I was 25 when I got married and found out about it. It was ever so painful to see my friends and family members being able to have kids, I could not. Attending baby showers, but never my own. I dreamt of having three girls but it never happened. I went thru 3 invitros and a divorce, and had no luck conceiving. 11 years ago my sister had a baby boy, whom she was unable to take care due to her Mental Stability and other emotional problems. When he was born, I took 1 month off from work to be with him and although I did not adopt him, our bond is so so Special, that I feel he is my own. I am now 48 years old and believe there was a reason why I did not have my own. and the reason was my beloved nephew "Javi". He has filled the void, there was. I have 7 nieces and nephews, but Javi has a special place in my heart...The moral of the story is that you do not need to have your own.

  7. You are both terrific people and I wish you both the best of luck in all aspects of your lives together! I also had a miscarriage in my first pregnancy at the end of the first trimester (due to cervical issues) and unfortunately in my second pregnancy our daughter was stillborn at 35 weeks. It has been a year since I lost our daughter and not a day goes by that I don't wonder why this happened to my husband and I. However I am grateful our daughter graced us with her presence even it if was only for a short period of time. I now its hard not to blame yourself but stay positive for the future and for the many babies to come. Keep your head up and remain strong and positive. I will be sure to do the same.

  9. I remember Bill saying that you need to talk to others who have went through what you two have been through. my husband and I went through three IUI's with no success and three invitro's. I did get pregnant as you did and lost it early on also. I watch you and it is so familiar. I blamed myself and also wondered why God was punishing us. Finally after 8 years of infertily and shots and needles and timing, we did decide we would sign up for adoption. It must have taken a little of the stress off. I told my doctor this was my last shot. My doctor did ZIFT, which is a form of invitro. It stands for Zygote introfalopian transfer (not sure sure if this is spelled right) but I got pregnant and have a healthy baby girl named Hope. Don't give up. You got pregnant once, which is a great sign. Don't blame yourself. I remember when I had my first miscarriage my doctor said that it was Gods way of saying that there was something wrong. Keep your Faith.

  10. Hi Giuliana and Bill, I first saw your ad on how you guys are trying to concieve on a big billboard in New York City, then I was like what if they took those medications I took back in my country. Then probably they would concieve for sure.I was married in 2007, and I and my Husband tried to concieve right away. I lived in New York City and he was in Bangladesh. I stayed in Bangladesh for 6 months after my wedding...but nothing happened..we did not concieve. I was wondering what happened.... Then I came back to the US and did all the gyn testing that a woman need to do to see that her ovaries were good...her uterus was good and I was sure I was fine. Then I got my husband checked back in my country. It showed that my husband had low sperm count. I was like ah-ha! its him...So I went back to my country and I we both went to the gyn. We both told the gyn tat we wanted to plan a family. She was telling us that we are young thats why our concieving was not happening. She perscribes us

  11. continues..a huge amount of medications...my god I saw ur supply of the medication for the invitro...it was less than that. I was shocked to see your medication compared to mines. When I go my medications my drawer was filled from top to bottom. iron, foliac acid...anything that had to do...to give me that baby I was desiring.So did my husband had medications to increase his sperm count. /....Well it paid off. I and my husband took those medications for 2 months the top. I spent couple of US hundreds and there boom! I was pregnant... It was so thrilling...I did the test at home first...Then I went to the same gyn and she checked it and yes for sure I was pregnant. I now have a healthy baby boy who is now 18 months old. After few months I decided to concieve again.. and I did, Which I was unware of and did exercising, swimming and I am assitant teacher, so I run around a lot and I lost my baby and I was 7 weeks. What I suggest for you is that you try again again.a nd there are times

  12. ...when it is the perfect time to concieve, for example..ur menstrual cylce, the peek at where you can have a boy or girl., and try to be relaxed as possible and do not think about it when you guys are doing it. I heard being tense lessens your chance of concieving. just go into a fantasy world. I may be wrong. But I see your pain and thats why I'm writing to you guys. I also recommended my gyn to someonelse too, who had the same problem and they could not concieve for 8 years. hope everything works out for you guys, good luck!

  13. Not sure how to say I am so sorry for your loss.......I do feel your pain but I know you would say I don't because I have children (I used to say that too). I watch your show periodically and just love the way the two of you love each other....very lovely and honest!!! I watched your episode tonight while my 3 year old twins slept. I am a blessed woman. I cried for you! I payed for you both! I lived in Chicago for 16 years and loved it. I feel connected in some way to you both...silly right? I waited tables at Tavern on Rush, lived above Gibsons Steak House......By the time I met my husband I was 36 and did not know if children would be a possibility. I had already lost a baby with my former husband in my early 20's and found out that my eggs were 'old' now.....BUT one invitro later.....healthy boy/girl twins at the age of 37...my miracles, my dream! I pray for you both.....I pray for your happiness and for your family. God Bless you.

  14. Hi Guys, I wanted to start by telling you I am sorry to hear about your lose. I have had 3 miscarries and I was 3 months PG with twins witch I had a topic PG with them one was in the tube and busted and the other in the sak. I was bleeding in side and the the doctors said that I had a 50/50 chance of living. I was bleeding so bad. I am hear today and thankful. I lost my left tube and only have one left. The doctors told us to do IUI and we did 10 rounds that failed and 1 round of IVF that also failed. We saw one of the worlds greatest specials in a different country who told my husband and I that I would never be able to have a baby because of to much scar tissue. We were so upset. Our lives went on after trying to have a baby for 10 years and nothing. Well I got PG all on my own. I have a beautiful baby now. I am also 35 yrs. old your time will come be positive and stay strong. I know it's hard when everyone around you is having babies or as 1. I have been through it. Best of luck JB

  15. I am sorry for your loss. I do feel that you ended up having a miscarriage. It suprised me to hear that in the preveiw for the next show you said you felt like you were being punished. You are very lucky to be in a position where you can affor the IVF process. My husband and I starting to go through the process and it is an extremely expensive process and we are not in a position where the cost is not an issue like you are. You should consider yourself lucky that can afford to pay for the process. I do hope everything works out for you in the end.

  17. I am very sorry for the both of you. I also have had a misscarriage, I was 5 months along. I had to go thru the whole birth process knowing that when my baby was delivered, I would not be bringing he or she home. It was very hard for us to grasp the concept of going thru the pain, and paying for a birth, and not being able to have the joy of the birth. I am writing to tell you that my doctor told us to wait a year before getting pregnant again. I did not take his advice. I was very depressed after I came home and started getting the hospital bills. After 4 months I decided to try again. To let you know, we were able to get pregnant again. Our son is now 21 and he is doing great. Please don't let this get you in the place I was. Get on with your life, and try again. You will get there...... Love Kim

  19. I am so sorry for your loss and the sadness that you are both going through. I had a miscarriage at 13 1/2 weeks and I too thought I was being punished for something that I did wrong in my pregnancy. It helped me through the grieving process to talk about it. My husband and I tried again to get pregnant for 10 more years until we tried invitro. We were successfull twice and now are blessed with two beautiful boys. Give yourselves time to heal and grieve and then see if you are ready to try again. You two are a beautiful couple, I love to see the tremendous love you both have for eachother. You will be blessed in due time. I pray for you both that your hearts will heal and that you will be able to move forward in creating your family.

  20. My prayers go out to you. I know exactly what you are going through, the pain, the guilt the "what did I do wrong" and why am I being punished. I have suffered 7 miscarriages and the last one I was 4.5 months pregnant. It is so difficult and only those who have suffered through these tragedies can truly understand the devastating pain. I am very angry, confused and always asking "why me?". My husband and I have been married 11 years and from day one always wanted to be parents. That dream is no longer tangible. I am blessed with two wonderful neices and always surrounded by children, unfortunately none of them are mine, and at the end of the day they go home to mom and dad. May God Bless you and give you the strength you need to get through this. You will be in my prayers and in my heart and do not give up, you have the resources to try again.

  21. My husband and I love watching your show. We just finished watching the episode regarding the loss of your baby. It brought me to tears and my heart goes out to the both of you. The episode hit very close to home for me. I struggled with infertility for six and half years. On my third invitro I became pregnant with triplets (from two embryos). At six weeks we confirmed heartbeats and at eight weeks there were no longer any heartbeats. I too knew there was something very wrong from the look on the ultrasound tech's face. It is a very sinking feeling. The doctor came in and told us the news and suggested that the best thing for me to do is get a surrogate. I knew in my heart this was not what was meant to be. We switched doctors two more times after that. The fourth invitro was unsuccessful. On the fifth try we again became pregnant but lost the baby at 8 weeks. I wasn't sure how much more of this I could take. Its such an emotional rollercoaster and physically exhausting.

  22. At this point I wondered if we would ever become parents and also questioned why we were being punished. I had basically lost my faith. Thank goodness my husband still had his and so did our doctor. He assured me that we would be parents. He did not know when and he couldn't promise there wouldn't be more miscarriages but we would get there. I mustered up the strenght to try one more time. On our sixth invitro we transferred one embryo. At six weeks I thought I was having another miscarriage only to find that we were pregnant with identical twins. The pregnancy was not easy. At sixteen weeks we were diagnosed with twin to twin transfusion and I had surgery to correct the issue. We did not know if our babies would survive. I write this to you as I watch my three month old sons sleeping in front of me. I know its easier said than done because my nightmare is over, but keep your faith. Be each others rock. It will happen for you. You became pregnant and that is half the

Let's see how long it takes to stand up to this man's larger than life ego. It is hard to be in a relationship with a man who thinks he is prettier than you are.

  28. Guiliana and Bill- Your show has been so close to my heart these past few weeks. We too have experienced infertility and IVF. The process is like a roller coaster --draining and emotionally taxing. My heart goes out to both of you. Try to keep your spirits up and your communication open as this process can also be hard on your marriage. Talk about it lots,..also if you have someone to talk to who has been through the journey, grab them and let them be your sounding board....it will help. My thoughts are with you both as you decide what the next step is for you. Best of luck on your journey!

  30. Hi Giulianna * Bill- Just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. I had a misscarriage in between my 2 sons so I know how devastating it can be. First of all Giulianna you have to understand that your hormones are out of whack. Your body was preparing for a baby and now there isn't one and it takes time for it and you to process that. Just bc the baby isn't there doesn't mean that your head and body can get over the loss that quickly. You need to tell Bill that you need time to process the loss * heal enough to be happy about another pregnancy.I know men think they have to recue us but really all he needs to do right now is just BE with you and spend TIME with you. He doesn't have to fix up the apartment or the house, just be together.I know from watching the show that the 2 of you will be together forever, so just say what you're feeing and he will stand by you. Good luck * I know you'll have many children * they'll be lucky to have you both as their parents.

Please consider the motherhood role.......it is a job that you cannot give your two weeks notice either! Has anyone suggested that you put on a few pounds and not look at everything as a crisis situation. Or are the camera's bringing out the worst in you? Within a year you will probably have a beautiful child and be able to afford things the average family can only dream about. Enjoy your life and relax.

  32. Understood the discussion about not being able to get pregnant with the therapist. Even if you do all of the right things * no matter how hard you try * you can't work hard enough to achieve the goal of pregnancy like you can with other goals and achievements (academic, professional, etc.). And with medically assisted pregnancy * there is no guarantee that a baby will result. I encourage Guiliana and Bill to consider the opportunity to adopt a child (domestically or internationally). The adoption process can be a paperwork nightmare * but it is worth it.

  33. Hi Giulliana, I have watched your show since the beginning and think you and Bill are a great pair. As I have watched this season and have seen your struggle, I understand in ways many women can not. My husband and I had been living together and finally decided it was time to get married after 11 years. We decided to start a family while on our honeymoon. As time went on and it was not happening, it finally did about 9 months later. I felt like family and friends could now stop asking and enjoy the ride with us. By this time I was 35 and healthy. But, by week 9 my miscarriage happend. Eventually my doctor did more testing and sent me to a fertility specialist. During that time I went through 3 IVF cycles and understand the roller coaster ride it takes you on emotionally and physically. It was the most stressful time of my life. I was able to get to retrival once but it did not take. The next 2 were stopped because I was not progressing and was maxed out on medication.

  34. Cont. Going into this treatment I was told that I had very little egg reserve left and IVF was my only chance. After the third try I had to accept that it was not in the cards for my husband and I. It took about a year for me to stop cying at odd moments. It has gotten easier and I am in a good place. I hated the process, but have no regrets, I know I did all I could. I also had some genetic testing that gave me some insight to why I was in this situation at an early age. Basically, this could of happened regardless of what my age was, I will never really know. For me what got me through was my husband and family. My husband was okay with or without children and was going to love me no matter what. I truly found out how much he loved me by the way he took care of me and went through the pain by my side. I think Bill is that kind of man, he will love you unconditionally. I am now the best Aunt to all of my nieces and nephews, and have lots of love to give them. Good Luck, keep going

  37. Things that are worth it like a family, don't always come with ease. My husband and I tried to have children for 7 years and finally with infertility help became pregnant and had a miscarriage and then again and had a miscarriage. Finally the 3rd pregnancy ended with a wonderful amazing little girl who is now 11. I had a little boy 8 years ago that died at birth. It was devastating. But then through all that a friend recommended foster parenting which ended in adoption for my husband and I of two girls. I have 3 very busy great girls and all I have been through over the last 18 years was well worth it. Giuliana * its okay to not succeed at first. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. After all you are not in charge God is. He definitely has a plan for each of us and sometimes we don't always understand it but its his plan for us. Hang in there, you and Bill are truly in love and that can handle everything that life has to offer. Best wishes!

  38. Please check out Dr. William Schoolcraft and his CCRM clinic in Colorado * they are #1 in the country for IVF success rates and can test ALL chromosomes ahead of implantation. IVF is so hard to go through, you definitely should minimize the amount of procedures and give yourself the best odds. Good luck, we got pregnant on the first try with twins and I was in my early 40's.

  39. Not sure how life has played out for you but if you are still trying, seriously I second an earlier posting here to go out Dr. Schoolcraft at CCRM in Colorado. Luckily, we had multiple friends that tried IVF prior to us and were able to learn from their experiences. The biggest thing we learned is that each clinic has very different levels of processes, technologies, abilities, labs, etc. If you check out each clinics success stats as reported to SART you will find great differences of success rates especially when you take into consideration age, number implanted, etc. We had one friend that became seriously obsessed with finding the best in the country after previous failures. This research lead to Dr. Schoolcraft at CCRM. This clinic and lab is a leader in the field and one of best in the country. It is the place where people go after they have failed elsewhere and are giving it one more shot. As with any medical procedure, you need to be your own advocate so research lots

  40. Dear G&B, i commented on the miscarriage page **please read** but i wanted to make sure you receive the message...i highly reccomend going to Dr. A. Kofinas and Dr. Mark Pillitteri on Long Island, New York. I would like to explain exactly what they can do...but in short they work together and with your ivf doctors to help you get pregnant and remain pregnant for a healthy 9months. Dr. Kofinas is a perinatologist who is genius and the staff is wonderful. He knows about special blood testing for genetic and health disorders that make pregnancy a difficulty to begin and carry through. A lot also has to do with being italian. Please write back and I can at least give you their info and you can see for yourselves, they know things many mds don't even know where to begin. I have several (many) family members and friends that could not get pregnant/stay pregnant for many different and similar reasons and they all now have a family, thanks to these doctors..they truly are miracle workers

  41. Hello, G....... * I understand everything the two of you are going through. My Husband Pat and I did IVF for 5 years before we even got pregnant even once. I was so had on my body and the heart becomes heavy with sorrow. Finally I became pregnant on my Birthday Nov. 7th 2000 with triplets. 8 weeks later I lost one but I was able to keep the other two. I now have girl and boy at 5 weeks early, but now healthy. Patrick and Madalyn, my only children. When they were 2 yrs old I had to have a full hysterectomy 2 days after my 30th birthday. I'm the oldest of 5 kids. I always thought I would do the same, being a stay home mom with a house full of my kids and there friends. But life threw me a curve ball and now I'm disable do to surgeries. My life came to a fast stop. Which I'm still trying to deal with. But chin up, and I go on waiting for a cure for Fibromyalgia. You now live in Chicago there are great IVF doctors here to help the extra care you may need. Keep trying for ur baby ***

  42. G&B * Just want to offer my support. My husband and I did 3 IUIs and 6 IVFs (3 fresh/3frozen) until we we finally conceived twin girls. We had many bumps in the road along the way. I traveled with my job, I had a couple miscarriages, but we remained persistant knowing that we were healthy and willing to go through some sacrifices. Please don't give up!

  43. Hello G&B As i sit here watching your show i find myself remembering everything that me and my husband have gone through. Im 36 and we have been married for 7 years. For 7 years me and my husband tried to conceive with no luck. We have done 3 rounds of IVF, i did become pregnant but unfortunately lost the baby also. I understand the feeling of being punished and worring that my husband was blaming me and even thinking i should leave him that way he would be able to move on with his life and be with someone who would be able to give him the family he most wanted in life. Luckily i am married to the most amazing man who has always told me that there is no one to blame and that this is not my fault and we are in this together. My husband wanted to "jump back on the horse" and i wasnt ready, then one day my heart and mind changed and we decided to try for a third time. I am happy to report that im now almost 11 weeks pregnant with twins. i know it will happen for u too! Good Luck

  44. Hi, I know how you are feeling, the stress, being overwhlemed, having to deal with all these emotions. Its a lot to take in. I never knew what happened in my pregancy, the doctors could not figure out what happened either. They were just totally blown away that I didn't have the baby. One moment you have this pending joy coming and than its taken away. But keep being strong, talk to people about how you feel, even if its just a therapist. It helps alot to get your frustrantions out and how you feel. And when you want to try again, the pain that you went through and shots, medications will all be worth it. And you will have this bundle of joy. I have my bundle of joy but I am always still thinking in my mind do I want try again. Because it does take a lot out of you emotional. Because you are afraid of the unknown. Keep being strong and when your ready, your ready...keep your head up.

  45. I am truly sorry for your loss. But I must say your show is not a reality show, we have all the same problems, I'm talking about what Guiliana is talking about a new apt., has to call cable, internet, etc., reality we go through this things and more everyday, more reality we do not have the money to move, we cannot afford cable, I'm sorry I only watch the show as a channel surf program and I do not think I will even do this anymore. Good luck, I'm sure when it happens you will have beatiful babies and your apt., and your new home will be a wonderful place to raise you children.

  47. I am not sure if you will read this but I want to let you know I was in your shoes a little while ago. We had not gotten to the IVF stage but we were doing IUI and I know what it is like to be on the fertility routine. I got pregnant in JUne of 2009. And come August I had a miscarriage. I felt why are all these people getting pregnant, some that did not want it, and I can't. My husband and I said I should finish nursing school and then try again.Well come October I started not feeling well and low and behold I was pregnant. Now I have a beautiful 4 month old baby boy. I was told I would not ever get pregnant and now I am a mom. I am sharing with you because it kept me hopeful to here positive stories. MAybe this can help you. Best wishes and God bless

  48. love your show, you guys are so much fun, I live in the Chicago suburbs and suffered a miscarriage after IVF back in 1995 and went through so much the stress and mostly the costs of everything was the deciding factor of not being able to go through any more. Seems like you guys are doing great with your careers and money is not an issue, which is a factor in the average couples lives and causes even more stress in the scheme of things. I know you will succeed and I am praying for you two... Even though we are childless except for 2 adorable puppies, we have had a great 21 year marriage thus far and don't regret trying to have babies... hope you are blessed soon, by the way great house in Hinsdale, great surburb..

  49. Dear Guiliana, I highly doubt you will have a child with Bill because you seem very stressed out with respect to the relationship. You walk on eggshells as he bosses you around on national T.V. That level of stress definitely affects the ability to conceive and carry the pregnancy to term. I'm writing this becuase I am a successful, professional woman who was involved in a relationship like yours where his opinion and his desires were paramount. I too had an extremely difficult pregnancy becuase of the stress of the relationship. Move on. Once you find someone who actually respects you and you can relax, nature will take its course in terms of children. Every time I watch your show, I cringe. I felt compelled to write this e-mail and even an earlier one to you. I have never in my life done such a thing but I totally empathize because I've been there. Good Luck. Melinda

  50. Hey Guliana * Bill, I just wanted to give you a big hello from Wisconsin! Every Monday I enjoy watching your show. You guys are truly a wonderful couple. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. It's okay to be upset and let your emotions out. Remember not to blame yourselves. I truly believe it will happen for the two of you and you will make great parents. Remember to do what your heart tells you to do. Take care and enjoy the Windy City!
