Khloe Kardashian is the favorite sister of many for a lot of reasons, but primarily because she's so honest and so relatable. She may a Kardashian, but she doesn't live in a fairytale, and she doesn't try to make us believe she does ... until it comes to her struggles with infertility.

She recently made some comments that sound so positive and just like what any good friend would tell her to boost her spirits. But they also don't ring especially true. She told People recently that she's relieved she's hasn't gotten pregnant yet.

Did you know the typical male produces 60 million to 100 million sperm in a single ejaculation? It obviously only takes one sperm and one egg to make a baby, but all that biological redundancy is directly tied to the odds of a successful fertilization. For couples dealing with male factor infertility, low sperm counts (anything less than fewer than 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen) can make it difficult or impossible to conceive a child without medical intervention.

However, imagine a situation in which the man produced no sperm whatsoever—and yet he was still able to father a child. At Cleveland Clinic IVF, one couple recently celebrated their daughter's birth, thanks to a groundbreaking technique the thrilled parents are describing as a modern miracle.

Since everything the Kardashians do is so totally our business, why don't we try to use that voyeurism/exhibitionist partnership for good? We all know Khloe Kardashian is having trouble conceiving and the latest rumor was that she was seeking out fertility specialists in Dallas where she and Lamar are now residing. Instead of bemoaning the fact that this could mean more Kardashians in this world, let's try to help a TTC sister out, shall we?

After all, having trouble getting -- and keeping -- a pregnancy is a harrowing experience. If you've ever been on the wrong side of the fertility gods, you know the pain that Khloe is currently experiencing. And as Kourtney gets ready to bring Mason a sibling, it must feel like a slap in the face for the only married Kardashian sister to be struggling with fertility.

Khloe, I can actually help you out, sister.

As far as we've come in the area of sex education over the years, it appears most of us still don't really know how the birds and the bees actually work. Oh, we know the mechanics, but when it comes to how to actually produce a baby, most of us have no clue. It's called "fertility math," and most us are flunking.

The Today show recently highlighted a survey by RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association, that showed just how ignorant we are. They found that less than half of women between the age of 25-35 could answer 7 out of 10 questions correctly when it came to fertility. Most errors involved how long it takes to get pregnant and how dramatically fertility declines with age.

Picture this: You haven't been married all that long and are pregnant with your first child.

Your tall, handsome, well-educated, impressively healthy husband is taking a year off before starting law school, working on a novel, trying to make a few bucks here and there. Suddenly, he comes up with a great idea to pay the bills: He'll become a sperm donor.

Do you -- would you -- go for it?

Wednesday I had the pleasure of attending a panel for TLC's A Conception Story, which centers around couples in various stages of their lives who are all dealing with the same issue: They're having difficulty conceiving.

In addition to listening to some of the couples talk about the often painful process they've gone through/are going through to have a child -- money spent, strain on their marriage, feeling like no one else is going through this -- the panel offered invaluable advice and tips (which will come in another post!) on getting pregnant and pregnancy in general. The panel featured Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a super fancy OBGYN, who seems to know everything about women's reproductive health; Barbara Collura, director of Resolve, the National Infertility Association; and Janis Biermann, SVP of Education and Health Promotion at the March of Dimes.

For now, let's talk about the one thing all couples having trouble getting pregnant have in common: Feeling like they're alone.

The end of an era is upon is, ladies. No more Octo-mom, no more Kate Plus 8, and no more risky pregnancies for a huge number of IVF pregnancies. At least if other fertility clinics follow the lead at the University of Iowa where a study found that today women under the age of 38 have just as good of a chance of getting pregnant using one embryo in the transfer as multiple embryos.

Unless you're one of those people who dream about having twins, triplets, or even more, this is fantastic news. After all, women carrying multiples are at an increased risk for diabetes, having premature babies, or babies born with cerebral palsy. Cutting down these risks for women who are already under bodily stress is an admirable goal. So let's hope fertility clinics embrace this idea, and we can all stop looking at moms of twins and wondering what the story is. You know, if you do that sort of thing.

Melinda Arnold, 34, was born without a womb. For years she and her husband have tried to fulfill their dream of becoming parents through IVF, adoption, and three surrogate attempts to no avail. Instead of giving up, she's instead planning to undergo a groundbreaking procedure in which her own mother's womb will be transplanted into her body.

The nurse from Melbourne, Australia, will be the country's first woman to undergo such a procedure and one of the first few in the world. It's planned for early next year in Sweden and isn't without risk or controversy, but is driven by love.

It's amazing to think that the very womb one came from could be used to birth one's own child. What a beautiful testament of a mother's devotion. We all say we would put down our lives for our kids, but would we be willing to undergo such a major surgery (her mother, Denise Allen, will have to undergo a full hysterectomy) to help them fulfill one of their dreams?
