Celebrity Infertility: Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon

garcelle-beauvais-nilon-nude.jpg

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon is a Haitian actress best known for her roles on NYPD Blue and The Jamie Foxx Show. (And some know her for her Playboy cover, shown above.) She's also a woman who has suffered the ups and down of infertility problems for the last five years. And more than that, she's a woman who has overcome them and has just recently given birth to twins!

Over the course of the last five years, Garcelle and her husband experienced three miscarriages. In addition, they went through two failed experiences with in vitro fertilization. The process was exhausting but it brought the couple closer together and they continued working with a fertility doctor until Garcelle got pregnant.

As could be expected, the pregnancy wasn't easy. In fact, the twins were born early through C-section. But they are healthy and the family is doing well.
