In a recent episode of “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her” podcast, Lauryn Bosstick, the founder of The Skinny Confidential, stirred a significant conversation around fertility after sharing her experiences. During the May 22 episode, she revealed that she conceived all three of her children on her first attempt, a statement that has since prompted numerous women to write her open letters expressing their feelings on the matter. Lauryn, who shares a four-year-old daughter, Zaza, and a two-year-old son, Townes, with her husband Michael Bosstick, is currently expecting their third child.

In a TikTok video, one user urged her to consider the emotional toll of infertility, stating, “I want to urge you to have some empathy for a heartbreaking and extremely taxing situation that you very luckily did not have to experience.” While some listeners appreciated Lauryn’s vulnerability, others pointed out that her delivery may have been insensitive. “I agree her delivery was off, but I think her intent was to relay that it’s OK to talk about joyful pregnancy experiences as well as harrowing,” commented another user, acknowledging the complexity of the conversation around fertility. The discussion surrounding fertility is particularly relevant in Hollywood, where many celebrities have openly shared their own struggles. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, for example, have been candid about their journey with infertility, including the emotional rollercoaster of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Teigen has expressed feelings of guilt and self-blame when faced with setbacks, illustrating the emotional weight that often accompanies the journey to parenthood. Lauryn’s remarks have highlighted a broader issue: the stigma surrounding positive fertility stories. She noted, “There’s a problem with being afraid to share positive news about fertility online.” This sentiment resonates with many, as it underscores a fear of offending those who may
