[quote=Anonymous]I have twin DE babies now adults. I think the trend to tell all is just that a trend. After all the pain we went through with infertility it started to seem like my life story. I wanted it to stop. 
When I was 25 my mother told me a deep secret about her past that was about me. Her mother had her “illegitimately” The very word sounds passé now. She suffered a lot from it. But I didn’t. I was surrounded by family and cousins and it seemed more about her than me.

Many many years have passed. Although I remember that moment, it hasn’t affected my life.

However I knew that if I were to begin to tell one, then 3, then 5, then the neighbors (preschoolers don’t keep secrets and I didn’t want to put that in them) then anyone who asked I would feel uncomfortable and what benefit would it give my twins my family or myself?
Everyone is different. I felt I lost too much of my privacy doing infertility and also adoption application.

The twins are fine. Other things happened that make those infertility days seem long long ago. As I said they are adults now. They know. It’s a big deal and it isn’t at the same time.

OP do what feels right to you but don’t forget your family has a right to privacy. Your family is not going to suffer. I personally feel that it’s a marketing ploy by the psychologist/ RE. [/quote]
