Thoughts and Conversations on J. Lo (She Doesn’t Have Infertility Cooties)

I’m sure by now you’ve all seen or heard about Jennifer Lopez’s article in People magazine where she plainly denies using anything beyond good ole fashioned will power and desire to pop out her twins even though there have been rumours, reports, previous articles, photos even, pointing to other conclusions.

Now, it’s one thing to not want to talk about the conception and birth of your kids. No matter who you are. That’s fine. It’s a totally other things to make IVF sound like cooties. Infertility Cooties, ew, no way, we so don’t have them!! In the article, Jennifer says:

I knew there was nothing wrong with me. I knew that I could. Deep down, I really wanted it badly…

Because if you want something hard enough, you’ll get it, right? I just think it’s funny that on one hand, there are folks who categorize women and couples trying to conceive as Baby Crazy. Obsessed. Single-Minded in their Overwhelming Desire to Conceive. Blinded by the Babyness. But J. Lo’s interview implies that perhaps we just don’t want it bad enough.

Oy.

Luckily, there are some ladies in the blogosphere with fantastic senses of humor. Here is just a sampling of the musing from the block:

Pamela Jeanne wonders why the defensiveness?
