 Lately, more celebrities are becoming vocal about their experience with infertility and how they overcame their struggles to have children. Here are a few stories that will hopefully be inspiring.

Courtney Cox Arquette had a baby girl through IVF after suffering several miscarriages.

 

Jane Seymour welcomed twins at age 45 after enduring two miscarriages and infertility treatments.  She has also written the book, Two at a Time, documenting her journey through the pregnancy and birth of her twins.

 

Cindy Margolis, a supermodel and actress,  had her first child through IVF/GIFT and her two daughters through a surrogate.

 

Penn Jillette and his wife Emily conceived their first child through IVF.

 

Kelsey Grammar and his wife used a surrogate for their two children.

 

Marcia Cross conceived her twins through IVF.

 

Angela Bassett had twins through a surrogate after seven years.

 

Celine Dion, 41, is pregnant with her second child through IVF. Her first child was also conceived through IVF after six years of trying. 

 

Jamie Lee Curtis adopted her children after struggling with infertility.

 

Although these stories are encouraging, especially for women in their 40's, keep in mind that fertility does rapidly decrease after age 35.  Some people feel that success stories like these may not accurately portray the difficulties of conceiving later in life.  What do you think? Do you find inspiration reading stories such as the ones above? Please feel free to comment below or send me an e-mail.

 You may also enjoy reading these success stories.
