[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swank implied they were conceived naturally by saying twins run on both sides. Just come clean, FFS.[/quote]
I’m going to give her a pass on that, simply because us twin moms are frequently asked if twins run in our families or our husbands’ families. I’m related to 3 sets of twins and a set of triplets, besides my own twins, so what am I supposed to do when asked that question? I answer truthfully, that multiples run in both sides of my family. My twins have nothing to do with that because my husband has a fertility issue that required IVF in order for him to father our children, but people didn’t ask if our twins were conceived through ART, they asked if twins run in the family. In Hillary Swank’s case, you have the media attributing quotes to her, but you don’t have a transcript of the interview, so she was probably asked if twins run in the family. She probably didn’t announce the pregnancy that way, but it reads like she just threw that out there.[/quote]

People ask ALL the time. It's insane, you sometimes see their smug superiority about it too (before you answer) but not as much if you just disclose it all honestly. I didn't have ivf but had injections that increased chances for twins. Twins also run in my maternal side of the family. I don't know/care if mine were due to a drug, age or genetic predisposition. Those who ask also tend to be either a bit on the immature side or the type to overdo small talk. I think being honest and not just saying "it runs in the family" can help others who may want to try follistim shots or investigate other options. [/quote]
