Michelle Obama had miscarriage, used IVF to conceive girls

Michelle Obama says she felt alone after a miscarriage 20 years ago and she and Barack Obama underwent fertility treatments to conceive their two daughters, according to her upcoming memoir. In some of her most extensive public comments on her White House years, the former first lady also lets her fury fly over President Donald Trump's "bigotry and xenophobia" — dangerous, deliberate rhetoric, she wrote, that risked her family's safety. "For this," she writes, "I'd never forgive him." But it's her deeply personal account of her marriage to the future president that shed new light on the Ivy League-educated couple's early struggle with issues of family, ambition and public life. "We were trying to get pregnant and it wasn't going well," Mrs Obama, 54, writes in "Becoming," set for release Tuesday. (US time) The Associated Press purchased an early copy. "We had one pregnancy test come back positive, which caused us both to forget every worry and swoon with joy, but a couple of weeks later I had a miscarriage, which left me physically uncomfortable and cratered any optimism we felt."

The Obamas opted for IVF, one form of assisted reproduction that typically involves removing eggs from a woman, fertilising them with sperm in a lab, and implanting the resulting embryo.

I’ve thought for a long time that Barack leans toward being gay. I figured they had to do something like this.

Given the Democrat penchant for jumping out in front of news about to break with their own spin, I’d say they’re worried about paternity coming to light, for one. Like Bill and Hillary Clinton it was a political marriage from the get go, the two of them have never had sex, I don’t think. Obama’s homosexual.

For the record, now there is no proof zero ever had sex with a woman.

If their roles were reversed, they’d have had no problem.
The media’s cover-up of Barry’s proclivities is absurd.
