Bill & Guiliana Rancic hoping “3rd time’s a charm” with IVF
Giuliana Rancic has unsuccessfully gone through IVF twice now in hopes of having a baby, but she’s not giving up just yet.
The E! News and Fashion Police host tells me that she and hubby Bill Rancic [past winner of The Apprentice] will give the treatment another go.
“We’re definitely going to do IVF again in the near future…. If it doesn’t work, that will have been three times—but I think third time’s a charm. I feel good about the third time!”
Fingers crossed that it works for her, but if not, they know they’ll have a child one way or another…
“At that point, we will either do surrogacy or go right to adoption,” she explained, adding that her hometown of Naples, Italy, would be the first place they’d look to adopt.
“I would love to find some kid in the area… someone, anyone who needs a home and give them a life here in America,” Giuliana shared. “The thing with adoption is, it’s where your heart takes you….”
The couple’s doctor also agrees that they should try IVF one final time.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
IVF encourages the wanton creation and destruction of human life all for the pleasure of adults. It violates a marriage – violating a husband and a wife’s right to procreate with their spouse and allowing a third party to destroy the intimacy of marriage. In addition, the child’s right to be created by his father and mother is violated as well, for he ends up being the spawn of a laboratory procedure instead of the fruit of marriage. No one wins in IVF.
Rather than trying IVF one more time, the Rancic’s should go to the Pope Paul VI Institute for assistance with their fertility problems. It is an excellent organization in Omaha, Nebraska that helps couples using natural procreative methods. Their website is http://www.popepaulvi.com.
IVF issue aside, who are these people? Are they important? Should I know them? Should I care?
“…if not, they know they’ll have a child one way or another…” Uh, yeah, maybe quite a few, since I assume they have twice implanted embryos that didn’t “take”. Another issue w/ IVF – many more babies die while attempting to get at least one that lives.
Bill Rancic was a winner of The Apprentice. Guiliana is, as the post states, the host of two entertainment shows.
Perhaps the rule of all message boards should be “if you don’t care, don’t comment.”
I wonder how old she is. A woman’s best hope for children is in her late teens to late twenties.
I like their show. They are now meeting with a doctor who does not believe in IVF and says most everyone can get pregnant if you solve the health issues preventing conception. A healthy adult should be able to reproduce. So if you can’t there is a reason why. He says he likes to find the reason why and fix that through holistic approach.
I hope the holistic approach works especially after IVF failure. God has designed our bodies in a wonderful way! I wish them many chubby happy babies. Its heartbreaking to desire children and not have them.
Heartbreaking? Yes. A right? No. A child is a gift, not a right. It is the notion that people have a “right” to a child that has led directly to the dehumanization of children which is ultimately fulfilled in abortion. Contraception, homosexuality, and IVF are all part of the same culture of death that is crowned by abortion. You cannot be pro-life and support IVF.
I was curious if these were important people who I should care about or who could possibly be influential. Sorry to offend you, Kel. I have never seen the apprentice and didnt’ know that “E! News and Fashion Police” was a thing.
Anyway, celebrities with enough money and resources can buy whatever they want, including children. I’ve never heard of people traveling to Italy to adopt. I wonder if there are a lot of children in need of homes there.
A friend recently told me she has a friend pregnant by IVF. The first cycle failed, and she’s now pregnant with twins.
She told me her friend left the Catholic Church explicitly because of the Church’s stance on IVF.
Since she shared this info in a small group setting, I didn’t have the guts to tell her Catholics aren’t the only ones who agree with the Catholic Church’s stance on IVF.
I also have a relative who is a Christian and refuses to see that there is anything destructive or immoral about IVF, because her sister had several IVF cycles to conceive her children, and well, we just wouldn’t want to criticize that, now would we? :( My relative told me that if their insurance would cover it, they’d have done IVF a long time ago. And they have one child.
I try not to get angry about stuff like this, but sometimes I’d just like to smack people. :P

She was born August 17, 1975 according to wikipedia, so she’s almost 36.
I had a baby “naturally” at almost 42, Terri, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility. ;)
I have a friend from an on-line support group for those trying to conceive after miscarriage. She had four, so she and her husband tried IVF. They had three embryos implanted, but one didn’t “take”, so they ended up with boy/girl twins.
It really made me sad though, that she didn’t seem to mourn the loss of the triplet..especially after already losing FOUR. Maybe she just didn’t acknowledge it on-line.
I know, everyone is different.
little p.s.; According to her Facebook posts, her twins seem to be in and out of the hospital a lot with various illnesses. I’ve read before that that happens frequently with IVF babies. They turn out to be “sickly” babies.
There’s also new research I just read about showing there could be a connection between Down syndrome and IVF. I’ll be interested to see how those studies pan out.
Putting all ethical considerations aside, IVF and PGD are very problematic. I have been been researching fertility treatments and I have been absolutely shocked at all of the hidden dangers. Do a Google search and see what I mean. Increased risks of cancer from fertility drugs is well documented. Also, babies conceived/selected through IVF and PGD have increased cancer and genetic abnormalities and the list does on and on. I am so convinced that if most women knew the truth about these procedures then very few would choose to do it. It is frightening that the fertility industry is allowed to be as unregulated as it is.
I hope they quit trying IVF and just adopt a child who is already here and suffering…
So the doctor is encouraging them to try again. Yeah….how much will he make off of this? If he was truly interested in getting her pregnant he’d figure out what her actual problem was. I heard her say, “You try all your single life NOT to get pregnant and now that I’m married I can’t get pregnant.” Gee, really. BTW they were married at a big Catholic Church in Italy. Pray that they see the teachings of the Church as an answer to their infertility.
There is also a clinic in New York City, Gianna that offers nanotechnology.
I’m. not in favor of the ivory but i do hope they get a baby
its nice to see famous people who actually want a baby especially in the massive culture of death
Pam, that people who had 4 miscarriages would be encouraged to try IVF is unconscionable. Basic logic says that if normal, natural pregnancies are not surviving, how would conceiving the child outside of the womb and then sticking them in unnaturally increase the chances? I’ve heard before of women who miscarry being encouraged to use IVF and it just makes no sense. If children are being miscarried conception is obviously not the problem. The only way it might make sense is if chromosomal abnormalities are an issue, in which case she is killing children directly that don’t make the cut, children just as valuable as the ones she lost to miscarriage.
I hope they don’t read all these cruel comments. I definitely think they should do IVF again (and again) if they choose there is alot of hope for a 36 year old trying to get pregnant. there are couples who conceived after alot more times then that.
I wish them the best of luck!!!
