Also, never let a blind stripper dress you for a magazine cover shoot. Oh, Sea, please put a warning up next time. I'd just taken a sip of coffee when I read your line, and almost ruined my keyboard. This past week has been straight from hell, and I sooooo needed the laugh.

Mame, don't forget that Jon's apparatus didn't impregnate Kate in the usual way for either of her pregnancies; they had to use artificial insemination to get Cara and Mady and then to get the 'tups. I'm not implying that the little wanker don't work, but something was off with it. Just sayin'!

I'd love to see a pic of Kate's new 'do, so any links would be appreciated.

Actually the story goes that it was Kate who needed the help:
quote:The couple used fertility treatment to get pregnant because Kate was initially unable to conceive, due to polycystic ovary syndrome. After further treatments, Kate became pregnant
from wikipedia. Somehow I don't see her taking the fall for him all these years

"...I know a lot of PCOS women, Kate does not look like it at all." Kitty, what does that mean?

Polycystic ovary syndrome, is my guess. I wasn't aware that there had to be a look women had if they were suffering from it, but that's what Kate and her doctors say she had. She didn't have in vitro, just he procedures to make her ovulate.. and heck a guy doesn't have to be hung like a horse to help create a child or children.

I was just wondering what the look is that PCOS women have.

generally they have extra weight in their middle, sometimes extra facial hair and bloating. alot of similarities with women who have insulin resistance so they may have the dark ring around their neck and eyes. http://www.womenshealth.gov/faq/polycystic-ovary-syndrome.cfm#e

Texannie, thank you. I have friends that suffer with it. The IF part is heartbreaking and they also fight the weight gain, and all the other crap that goes with it. It is considered the sister diesease to diabetes. Low carb diets tend to help. Some produce too much testrone (sp?). I could go on and on. Its just a terrible thing. Kate just doesnt have the that look. She is slim, very petite, no facial hair, no other skin problems.

I was diagnosed with polycysitic ovarian syndrome in 1975..they did a wedge resection on my left ovary....took a large cyst off of my right ovary...did not have any of the other symptoms.....except irregular periods and difficulty getting pregnant, took clomid and both times got pregnant quickly with my sons. one born in 1976, another born in 1979. Maybe the severity of the disorder dictates the more severe physical symptoms

I think so Nan. Most of my friends who had it fairly severely couldn't get pregnant on clomid or pergonal because stimulating the ovaries made the cysts multiply.

The "whole family is under contract with TLC"??? What is TLC thinking? I would have made damn sure that Jon Gosselin was not associated with my network! I hope hope hope they don't bring the show back like it was. I would love to see how the kidlets are doing, but would rather it be in an annual special or something. Jon doesn't deserve a stinking cent after what he did.
