I honestly hate when people assume twins are the result of fertility treatments. Sure, some are, but not all! Diane is right...with a 10 month old I would NEVER consider getting PG again on purpose right away. My 2 kids are only 18 months apart due to a birth control malfunction! I didn't try to get PG that quickly!!

She's cute. Her son is adorable and I'm sure her twin daughters will be also. Wonder why, though, she's getting so many (intrusive) fertility questions? She is not in her 40's, hasn't been stating for several years how she hopes to get pregnant...etc,, etc., Those are usually the situations where you might wonder about fertility. She's still in her 30's and has gotten pregnant easily, from all outside appearances. I guess these days people equate celebrities pregnant with twins with fertility treatments.

I had twin girls when my son was 20 months old. It was rough but the funniest part is that even now 5 years later he asks people how many babies they are having ...The poor kid thinks that they old come in pairs.. Good luck to Diane

I hate this mindset. So I should be ashamed that I did fertility treatments and am now 18 weeks pregnant?

Why do people see this as an insult? It doesn't make you any less of a woman or a person just because you are dealing with infertility. Why do people think it does?

Grrrr.

Well, I actually DO know several people who did fertility treatments with a 10 month old, but they already knew they had problems conceiving and were already in their late 30s/early 40s so time was an issue. Anyway, she looks great and I'm sure her son will love having a couple of little sisters to protect!

Heaven forbid she did fertility treatments - we all know she is very fertile!!

Many people who have issues with infertility do try and have children again quickly b/c it can take a very long time (if at all) for the treatments to work.

Im with you jennifer. To be appalled by the question is a little insulting to those who needed a little help getting pregnant..

Actually, if Diane went to a fertility clinic, she'd find a fair number of women with small babies who are cycling again.

Lots of couples come back when their babies are around 5 or 6 mos. old. If it took them a few years to conceive prior, a lot of women will start fertility treatments again right away, esp. if they're 35 or over and don't have a few years "left" to wait to start trying again.

People can have fertility issues at any age, but 38 is considered less likely to produce as many eggs, so I understand the question, but are we allowed to ask, I don't think so.

I hope Diane has identical girls, that will end all speculation.

Jennifer...I used fertility treatments for 2 of my children (adoption for one) and I also hate the mindset that fertility treatments are something to be ashamed of. You know what I do? I talk about it openly and make the topic of fertility treatments and adoption a normal part of our life. I think most people have no idea how many people actually do some form of treatment. I think the more people talk about it, the more normal it will become and there won't be this underlying bias. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Congrats on your pregnancy.

I think if you have fertility issues, you'll feel differently about her point of view. But as a mom, who got pregnant naturally, on the first try, I'm with her on the 'who in their right mind' mindset. If she got pregnant so easily the first time, why would she go for fertility treatments with the next one?

And twins (or multiples, for that matter) are not ALWAYS the result of fertility treatments, and just because someone is having twins DOESN'T mean that they did fertility treatments.

I'm so sick of hearing people ask this question (and not just to Diane, but Angelina & others who have had multiples recently). It's none of anyone's business how anyone got pregnant. It's so rude to ask things like that.

I love her baby boy. I don't think she meant to insult anyone. I think she just got tired of the question! I don't think she was trying to be insensitive to people who have had to use fertility drugs.

It's so rude to ask how someone got pregnant. There shouldn't be any stigma with fertility treatments or adoption or anything else. People ought to just be excited that you are pregnant. Asking how you got pregnant is like asking if it was an accident, just another question that shouldn't be asked (kind of sick of being asked it right now....23 is not so young to be pregnant!). That said, I think it would be great if more celebs would be open about using fertility treatments to help break down the stigma that seems to exist.

I do have to use fertility treatments if I want to have another and I still feel exactly the same way i did in my first post! And...I don't think it is anyone's place to ask Diane or any woman if her twins are a result of fertility treatments. It has nothing to do with being ashamed at all...but not everyone wants to be open about it.

I totally agree! People have a lot of nerve asking people if they used fertility. That is none of their business at all. What a personally intrusive question to ask!

I agree with you Jennifer tho I also think it is strange that people think they can ask if you underwent fertility treatment. I mean, would it be okay to ask how they had sex in order to get pregnant?

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.

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 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 ; )

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 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.

I wouldnt be offended that anyone thought I had fertility treatment- nothing to be ashamed of (infact we are very lucky in this day & age that its available).

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

I do think it's rude to ask someone if they've undergone fertility treatments.

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?" ?

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

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.

"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.
