[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again.

Geez Louise, you people (well some of you) have strong opinions about this.  And they're quite conflicting opinions.

And furthermore, someone wrote above "Op, I think you're inventing reasons. most people do, they invent reasons when they would prefer to share something but are conflicted."

Lol.  Read my post.  I didn't give any reasons for telling or not telling.  I simply asked the question and OTHER PEOPLE have been giving me reasons for both sides.

****This entire question was brought to my mind by Michelle Obama's IVF revelation.  Because obviously her girls (aged 17 and 20) now know the circumstances of their conception.  
SO I thought, "Hmmm.  I wonder when/if I'll tell my kids?"

If you read the whole excerpt from the book, you will see that Michele feels it is her duty to let young women know that the biological clock is real and that quality egg production is limited. I agree with her. She says we do young women a “disservice” when we we don’t talk about the realities of how our bodies work. Michelle Obama was dealing with infertility at “only” 34, which is widely considered a reasonable age to start a family in educated, professional circles. Kicking the can down the road on staring a family is not smart, and it often results in a lot of heartache. [/quote]
