Jennifer Lopez Insists She Conceived Without In Vitro, Doth Protest Too Much
New mom Jennifer “Don’t Call Me JLo” “JLo” Lopez insists she gave birth “naturally,” without the help of in vitro fertilization. And then says “naturally” six more times:
She tells People magazine, “It was natural. We didn’t do in vitro, which I know was reported. Everybody assumed that because we had twins. I wanted to have a baby, but I’ve always said exactly what I said all those years they (reporters) asked us since we’ve been married: ‘Well, when are you guys gonna have some kids?’ ‘When it happens naturally, I guess!’ And that’s when it happened. It was a surprise to us.”
That’s what we always say when people ask us when we’re going slide out some babies. “When our significant other impregnates us without the use of fertilization treatments, of course!” And then everyone laughs nervously.
Regardless of how Jennifer was able to conceive though, we think her statements definitely work to further the stigma that there’s something wrong with a woman who as to use methods such as in vitro fertilization in order to have children. It reinforces the idea that a woman who cannot procreate through “natural” means is somehow flawed or broken. And it insinuates that having sex with Marc Anthony is somehow the less embarrassing alternative.

J.Lo is so much like my old babysitter Carmen; she belongs to the Pro Life group at her church so she doesn’t like to admit she has frozen embryos in some lab somewhere (she told me it’s not the same thing as abortion because “someone can adopt the embryos”), so she tells them she got pregnant after praying a novena to the virgin. Bitch please! I don’t think she even owns a rosary.

J.Lo is such a poser. Everything about her is fake. Of course, everyone knows she used in vitro treatments for years and also to conceive. She just cannot accept the fact that her talented but uuuugly husband was able to make babies with three other women without extra medical intervention. I was hoping that becoming a mother would teach her some humility, but I see she is still the same narcissistic freak she always was.

Anything having to do with Marc “ calavera Anthony is not natural.

She is lying. She said to an interviewer a year ago she wanted to have twins one boy and one girl-what are the odds of that happening a year later? She definitely used invitro. It is nothing to be ashamed especially since many people are reproductively challenged. She really is narcissistic. Hopefully they come out looking like her!

I actually went thru in-vitro and since my husband and I opted to have one embryo implanted back in me, we conceived one daughter. Twins are not a guarantee, but there is a 60% chance of multiple birth, and a high incidence of boy-girl combos. I believe miracles can occur, but there is simply no chance that after years of public struggling, being 38, having a hudband with three children, that she didn’t have to rely on some form of fertility treatments, whether drugs or procedures. No doubt in my mind her babies were conceived via in-vitro. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had to use her sister’s eggs and pair them up with Marc’s stuff. Don’t be ashamed, come clean!

All I can say is that she is a pathedic excuse for a human. This just tells me that she is embarrassed of the procedure and therefore she must be embarrassed of her children.

Two weeks ago I agreed that Jennifer Lopez should come out the IVF closet; but that was when I thought I was expecting one baby. At 36, I am 10 weeks into my first pregnancy and was shocked and delighted to learn at my first ultrasound that I am expecting twins. We used no fertility treatments, there are no twins in either of our families and it took us a good year to conceive. It’s a simple fact that women over 35 have a higher chance of producing twins - naturally. Of course IVF is nothing to be ashamed of, but I wouldn’t want people presuming I’ve had it when I haven’t. Perhaps neither does Ms Lopez.
