“but I also don’t get why the question is seen so often as an insult as if having those treatments make one damaged goods.”

I see the question as offensive not because I think there’s anything wrong with fertility treatments (because I certainly don’t) but just because it falls under the category of “no one’s business but the parents.” I believe if a person does use fertility treatments is should be up to them to decide whether they feel comfortable sharing that information with the world (because not everyone feels the same way about it), and for anyone else to intrude on someone’s privacy like that and demand an answer is vulgar and totally out of line. I would feel the same way if anyone asked someone else a very personal question, regardless of what the subject was.

i think she was just trying to be funny, we all know how demanding a 10 month old can be and i think she just meant they weren’t trying to get pregnant again right away. i can’t imagine trying to get pregnant right now because my daughter is 9 months old and takes every ounce of energy and time i have, but i’m sure it’s completely different when you have problems getting pregnant and you’re afraid it may take a few years for it to happen again.

Does anyone know where to find the video? I want to hear what she had to say.

I also think it’s insensitive to crow about how fertile you are. Infertility and secondary infertility are far more common than people realize.

Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been fairly open about her secondary infertility, and they did begin ttc before Grace was 6 months old. (As did Trista & Ryan Sutter) I wonder how Elisabeth felt hearing Diane say that about “who in their right mind?” ?

BUT the question is just so personnal and rude. Im wondering whats next- “What is your favourite sex position”?

I don’t think it’s the media’s right to ask such a personal question, but I also don’t get why the question is seen so often as an insult as if having those treatments make one damaged goods. I’m not saying that she had that reaction, but I see it all too often.

I also don’t get this overwhelming fallacy that getting pregnant quickly and easily once (even an “oops”) MUST mean there are no fertility issues. Secondary infertility is JUST as commone as primary infertility. One quick conception doesn’t mean that there won’t be fertility issues or that a woman is necessarily uber-fertile.

As far as Farr is concerned, it’s entirely possible that because she is of an age where perimenopause is an issue, that her ovaries released two eggs in a “last ditch effort” at conception. Just before the beginning stages of menopause, women have a higher tendency to hyperovulate.

Whether you get pregnant naturally, with fertility treatments or adopt your children makes no difference to me at all. We are all just moms doing our best for our kids.

I think the fertility question was just to spark up a little bit of controversy… you know how these shows always do that. Diane handled it very well and turned it into a lite hearted discussion.

I used to watch the view all the time too, and i think its lost speed and actually gotten a little boring. Diane helped spice it up today… i agree maybe she should help the view with a little face lift!

Keep it sexy diane!! Im lovin the pregnant with heels look…it’s classy and sophisticated even if its just for a couple of hours ; )

Her baby boy is so adorable!

I loved her on The View! Did you see how she stepped out on stage with those killer heels? I can’t even walk in those heels and I’m not pregnant! I used to watch The View when it originally started and it’s not the sam w/the change of cast. I could totally see Diane sitting up there with them, she’d really add a lot to the show!

RE: The fertility.
I don’t think she meant to be insensitive at all, but I do think it is a bit invasive and insensitive to ask how one conceived! For her to turn around and make light of it I thought was clever, but not intended to be insensitive?

I don’t think Diane intended to insult anyone. She apparently had been asked this question a lot, she must be getting annoyed by that, not the implication that she may have fertility problems. I just think it is ignorant to hear twins and automatically assume in vitro. Twins have been happening since the dawn of time. Yes a lot are the result of fertility treatments, but not all of them are, and it is silly to make assumptions.
