I think infertility is just as hard on men as it is women. My aunt told me that she was with her first husband for 7yrs, no children, no pregnancies. He would blame her and tell everyone that she was sterile. When they were together and people would ask "when are you guys going to have a baby"? He'd say "ask her, she's the one that cant get pregnant" he was a total a$$ to my aunt. His family didn't like her because of all the unsavory things that he was saying about her....Anyway, they ended up divorcing and when they divorced he told her that he was happy, now he can find him a "real woman". My aunt happily moved on with her life and remarried 3yrs later and within 6 months of being married she got pregnant and delivered a beautiful healthy baby boy. 3yrs later she had another baby, a girl. 2yrs after that another girl. She ended up running into one of her former in-laws and they were surprised to see her with all these beautiful children and a ring on her finger. That former in-law told her that her ex was still childless and had remarried as well. 🤔 Then 20yrs later she ran into him at a gas station and sure enough, he was divorced again and you guessed it, CHILDLESS.....It was him the whole time. Turned out, he was the one with infertility problems and going around making women miserable because of it.......

I wonder if these sweet couples were ever able to have a child, I’d love a follow-up!

Thank you for posting this to KZfaq. It's just as important now as it was 35 years ago.

I miss this version of Oprah

I have been grateful every day for being able to have my two children. My heart breaks for anyone who wants a child and can't get pregnant

What a ride trying to conceive was🙄 Giving up was my best option... I'm still open to the possibility of a miracle though😊 Great show Oprah. 👏

Really good episode. Oprah carried the conversations with dignity and good information from a variety of experiences. I also enjoy how people spoke even 30 years ago.

I thought it was really sweet that the other women started comforting Kay. I really feel for her. When they all were talking about accepting the 'death' of the baby that they never conceived it was really touching.

I know a lady who was married for 7 years when she was younger and had no children. People looked down at her and blamed her. Her father died so she had to move closer to her mum to help raise her younger siblings and support her mum. The husband divorced her they went their separate ways. Years later she got married and now has two kids a boy and a girl. Her ex husband sadly died but never had kids.

Watching this makes me so grateful for my son he’s 14 right now but I know what it’s like to want to have a baby and we need these reminders when these babies turn into teenagers and they stress us out anyways thank you for posting

I can relate, I really feel denied because I still don't have. I pray that one day I will not have the desire and be content of my fate.

The 80s had the best music

My husband and I went through 12 Cycles of IVF. We finally succeeded! This journey is not a joke. Its a WAR! We suffered immensely! I started a KZfaq Channel to heal and share my experience to motivate others. Love this show and it's intention.

That last caller sounded like Diane Downs 🤣 her voice sounded so similar.

My heart goes out to the divorced woman on the panel.

My heart goes out to them all. This is so hard.

Not being able to produce children is not a deal breaker for me.

Even back then, Oprah was so, so sensitive...I love her.

Idk about anyone else but it's 2022 & I'm in the same seat... infertility with PCOS ✨

Oprah always had best intros. Thanks for posting!

Hubby & I are struggling through infertility. We used to hate each other, luckily not anymore. We are still doing out IUI & IVF. I am in debt. But we are slowly not being obsessed about it as we used to be. I'm 41yrs old. I will try til I'm 45. I got 4yrs more to go.. 45 is my deadline..

My heart breaks for that blonde southern woman. 🥺

This is back when doctors didn't understand ovulation.

Don’t come for me, I just feel like people need to learn to be content with their circumstances. Their desire to conceive is taking the joy out of their marriage. That’s just my two cents.

Everyone looked like a best in show poodle 🐩 in the 80s

A 17 year old has just as much reason to hate an envy someone going through infertility. I hate it when a woman gets jealous and hates another woman going through so much. 17 year old pregnant girl one ups you on tragedy. Most of the time the 17 year old girl never lives a good life.

My fave O hairdo!! 😊

Ngl the shopping cart part was a little creepy or the teen mom thing

what if that happens to a couple(happy couple) so they can adopt..I mean if you can't have children and you don't adopt so who will adopt those children? sorry if this sounds rude but that's what I am thinking of

The missing baby “joke” at 4:20 was scary not funny. I know she meant to be lighthearted but people do that for the same reasons.

INAPPROPRIATE JOKE: “…one of these day I am going to just come home with a baby from a shopping cart…” 🤓❤️🤔

Bom dia Opraha Winfrey eu só Victoria Deus ti a bênção e todos os dias da sua vida e sua família também. 👍👍👍❤❤❤

They could always adopt, or adopt a pet

it could be one of the other

Oprah looks like she was crying before the show began.

👍👍💗

Not that woman saying she would kidnap a child from someone else so she could have one.. 😬

I think l am infertile due to endometriosis.

Adoption ?

I’m going to sound inconsiderate but they want a child SO damn badly but didn’t adopt? What makes you think your “miracle” baby is so much better than a child sitting in adoption? Nah, you don’t have my sympathy 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am surprised they hated other mothers who were having babies instead of gating people that got abortions. No one mentioned that.

Get over it

You cannot called couple a family if they don't have their own children. how insensitive of Oprah to ask them, why is baby so important...well i guess she will never know that feeling because she choose not to have a baby...🤔🤔🤔🤔

The problem is they are trying too hard…

Oppie is EVIL!!!

My husband and i are childfree and loving it but i feel for couples who cant conceive.i know a couple who are so bitter that they seem to hate that we are choosing not to have children.its nothing to do with them.We been married 8 years and we are living in different states due to work so we we in long distance marriage .best part we can surprise each other so uts like we are still dating and the m excited to meet my boyfriend.i dont hate on you why you hate on me??
