'I chased my career instead of chasing guys': Giuliana Rancic reveals how her infertility 'blindsided' her at 35

With her glamorous career as a TV presenter, not to mention her own reality show, Giuliana Rancic has much to envy.

But following a very public battle with infertility she has revealed she had no idea pursuing her dreams of a career would put her hopes of having a family in jeopardy.

The 38-year-old was 35 when she and husband Bill began trying for a family - but had already left it too late.


'I always say how I chased my career instead of chasing guys,' she reveals in the November issue of the U.S. magazine Health.


'And everybody was patting me on the back. No one ever told me, "Oh, by the way, your eggs change when you reach a certain age." I didn't think 35 was old!

'So when the doctor said, "It’s not as easy as you thought it would be," it was a real blow. Because I felt so young.'

She explained that had thought she was in perfect health.

'I mean, this is a girl who was running six miles a day, and eating healthy, so how can you tell me that I’m not healthy in that department?'


Giuliana's failed battle to conceive through IVF, her subsequent diagnosis with breast cancer, then her journey to motherhood through surrogacy, formed the major plotline of her show Giuliana & Bill on the Style network.

Giuliana told the magazine she would never have agreed to do the show had she known what was to come.

'Had you given me a crystal ball when we were signing on to do the reality show that said, "This is what's coming up, do you want to do it?" I would've said absolutely not,' she said.

'You couldn't pay me enough. But, looking back, I'm so happy that I did do it.'


E! presenter Giuliana admitted she found it tough to see others around her seemingly falling pregnant with ease.

She said she experienced jealousy, thinking: 'I'm a good person, and I could give someone the greatest life of all, but yet I can't get pregnant.


'And then you watch these TV shows, 16 and Pregnant, and these girls who want nothing to do with their babies are pregnant. And you're going, what?'

Giuliana had gone through two failed IVF cycles, one of which ended in miscarriage, before tests unexpectedly revealed she had breast cancer at 36.

The disease was in its early stages, and would not have been discovered were it not for the IVF.


Giuliana's wish to have a child had a happy ending, when she and husband Bill, 41, finally welcomed their son Edward Duke on August 30 via surrogate.


And she says Bill was her rock when received the shock news that she had cancer.


'Afterward, I ran into my dressing room and started hysterically crying,' she said. 'Bill was really the one who had to pick me up off the floor and say, "Hey, we’re making a plan here." He took over.'

And she said she made herself stay as positive as possible.

'Whenever I was so sad, when I was on the floor kicking and screaming and crying, the best way I could pull out of it was when I would remind myself, "Even with this happening, you're still better off than a lot of people."

'For me, it was saying '"Yes, I have breast cancer…" But, you know what? Thank god I'm going to a good doctor.

'I'm so fortunate I found it early. I'm so fortunate to have Bill. I'm so fortunate that I have a boss who understands.'

yes she has it...but it was womb for hire. she wishes she could get pregnant naturally.

Kids are blessing from Allah, its not always guaranteed a woman will have kids in her 20's, but women should at least put in an effort to conceive(halal way of course ) before 30..gets harder after 35.

Heard many stories like this where girls wait too long to pursue their "higher education" & "careers" and by the time they wake up it's kinda late.

[Smile-LiKe-SuN-RiSE]

Lol didnt read the article...but I heard her talking about getting IVF injections every month.

[ElfRuler]

There are plenty of women who marry young and have issues with getting pregnant and there are older women who have no problem with conceiving a child. It solely depends on the woman and whether or not God wants her to be a mother of x number of children.


This scare-tactic is lame.

[OhCashoIsOnYou]

Start families early friends, its not only eggs that dry up but also sperms tend to lose value early 30's. It has been proven time and time again that families tend to be more happier than single people. A happy atmosphere ccontributes to a friendlier world.

Take a bite out of a demon, marry early.

Moral of the story: stay stupid gabdho...do it for the kids

Time is not on the side of women, Elf.
