Tyra Banks opens up about wanting a child, and using IVF to try to get pregnant

Speaking to People magazine about wanting to be a mum and her struggles trying to conceive, the 41 year old supermodel said;
"When I turned 40, the one thing I was not happy about is that I did not have kids. I'm like, 'Damn, the clock is ticking! Since I was 24, I used to say every year, 'I will have kids in three years. I kept saying it over and over again. Because my business is very entrepreneurial. I'm not for hire, so I have to do everything. I kept trying to find that time for that to happen."
"When you're like, 'OK, I'm just going to do it,' then it's not so easy as you get older."
Tearing up, Banks, who has been dating her boyfriend, photographer Erik Asla for two years, reveals that she has undergone IVF procedures in hopes of conceiving.
"I've had some not happy moments with that, very traumatic moments," she says. "It's difficult as you get older. It's not something that can just happen.. I hope for kids. I don't just want one child. I want a litter! And I want to be the kind of mom where my child can come to me for anything."

There is nothing too late for God to do, just get on ur knees in prayers to him. Moreso try settling down properly wth ur bf as husband n wife that will make the search more authentic

Yes o these things happen...Reminds me of my ex who just got married, I cannot wait till her family finds out her and the fool she married decided to have an abortion years back that has given her the inability to reproduce. Serves the stupid bitch and her hubby right. Bastards lmaooooooo

Linda hope u dey learn from them.Na so women wey don make money forget marriage dey think and at the rate your family is enjoying your wealth they will castigate any man you bring as a husband so make you wise now.

They said history keep repeating itself but men never learn or rather women never learn. Linda Ikeji learn from this story. Try and settle down and have family and children. You are making it now and by the time you dont have children, you wont be sleeping again and all the materials you have will be a waste. It has happen to lots of famous people and it is still happening. Its my love for u that is making me give u this advice. I am also talking to Rita Dominic and Funke Akindele. If time pass, then na everlasting regret and wailing. A stich in time saves 9 and half. Thanks folks.

Linda hope u dey learn cos na so women wey dey make money forget other things dey end up.You need to wise up and at the rate your folks dey enjoy ur money no man will be good in their eyes so do well and be smart.

Although I am not privy to the full facts; but I sort of feel that beautiful Tyra squandered her fertile years (16 to 34years) servicing her ambition...

This is the story of not a few career women....

At 42?

Well, turn to Jesus...

With him nothing is impossible!!!!

She wasted her time pursuing money and fame forgetting that menopause awaits every woman. I hope other women would learn from her experience. I am not naming names but please make hay while the sun is still shining and the eggs still forming. Miss, i am available if you need help.

I swear although I feel pain for her, I still dont think she is ready or deserving, wtf wanting babies in a litter .... na Lhasa Apso? She should go and rest. Women are taking this independence and empowerment thing to far... U better be ready to calm down and settle ladies. The world is being ruined by our conceit and hypocrisy. You want a guy that has or is everything/ are you/do you have everything... truth is we all inevitably settle, so just find someone you can be friends with and go the full yards with understanding... but we see extremism with women empowerment and lack of understanding with men... I sometimes feel our generation is ruined... if some of us ever feel love now, it will be a miracle... there is still a small chance to find a like mind and transfer the knowledge to coming generations. It is our joint responsibility... I wish everyone the best in their relationships. Be Good, Do good, Live good.---- Poose Baby
