Read KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD - THE RISE AND FALL OF A REALITY TV QUEEN for Free Online Page A

follow her first infertility doctor’s recommendation to use IVF with a single embryo transfer. There would have been no real chance of twins, triplets, or even worse – Higher Order Multiples. If successful, Kate would have gotten JUST ONE MORE baby.
    Kate wasn’t a naive, 17-year-old girl who was ignorant about fertility issues. She was a registered labor and delivery nurse with plenty of experience. She was also, by her own admission, a type A planner, scheduler and list maker – and masterminder. Kate knew exactly what she was doing. She didn’t take her first doctor’s advice, because JUST ONE MORE baby was exactly what Kate Gosselin did NOT want. So she left that doctor behind. That doctor was no longer on board with Kate’s plan, and Kate wanted nothing more to do with her.
    Someone who worked with Kate’s first infertility doctor said that “Kate Gosselin was told by Doctor X to use IVF, and that made her angry. ‘Who is she to tell me what I can and can’t do with my body,’ Kate demanded.”
    I’ve met with that person, and a second individual from that doctor’s office, several times in the course of writing this book. In wanting to protect their careers and their own families, they have chosen to remain anonymous.
    In Kate’s early drafts of Multiple Blessings , she gives the names of her infertility doctors. Strangely, they were omitted from the final version of the book. There is a very logical reason for that: Kate didn’t want people asking questions.
    But that’s jumping ahead. Let’s go back to the beginning where this story gets a whole lot worse.
     
     
    ON THE JOB TRAINING
     
    Kate asked a lot of strange “what-iffy” kind of questions while working briefly as a nurse. “She seemed to have an agenda, but at the time, we had no idea what she was up to,” a former co-worker of Kate’s told me. “Looking back, it makes a lot more sense now. The questions she was asking had nothing to do with her job at the time. She talked about the McCaughey septuplets a lot and how dangerous it must have been for the mother.” “Kate was also very interested in the many different fertility medications that were out there, and what each one did, even though we weren’t a fertility clinic. It just seemed strange. She already knew everything there was to know about infertility by the sound of her, but she seemed to be looking for reinforcement and first-hand stories.”
    So, how did Kate end up with six babies when she wanted just one more ? Here is the answer: she found a doctor who didn’t ask questions, and she manipulated the entire infertility process to get the results she wanted. In Multiple Blessings , Kate tells us that Jon “finally” agreed to do fertility treatments again so Kate dove for the phone and made an appointment with a new fertility doctor closer to home, in Wyomissing, PA. She told us that she drove an hour each way with the first fertility doctor and of course it was a very successful experience, but she felt that the convenience of seeing a doctor closer to home made much more sense now, because she had two two-year-olds at home.
    That paragraph is loaded with “Kate speak” and deception. Kate Gosselin is a creature of habit, almost obsessive-compulsively, and she had great success with her first infertility doctor in Allentown, PA, who gave her perfectly healthy twin girls. So the thought of Kate not going back to this same doctor because it was an inconvenient drive is so over-the-top false that my head spun when I read it.
    Remember, I followed Kate seven days a week for close to two years. I know her habits. She’s as hard to figure out as a third-grader. Kate drove an hour each way to get her hair styled in Harrisburg. She drove almost an hour each way to go to Whole Foods for a bag of groceries. She drove an hour each way to go shopping at the Park City Mall in Lancaster (all while her now EIGHT busy kids were at home with strangers), so the idea that she
