[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't tell them until they are old and mature enough. Why burden them with information they don't need to know, unless they specifically ask for it.

They are 100% your and DH's. It's not like the kids are adopted or result of donor eggs.

[b]Do today kids want to know how they were conceived, either through IVF or one night of passion?[/b][/quote]

I'm 30 and I know that I was conceived after my parents had a really great time at a friend's wedding.  Knowing this has added zero value to my life.  [/quote]

33, mom was on BC and antibiotics.  Thanks, Mom, I appreciate knowing what may happen.

My sister is 32, mother was breastfeeding and thought she was okay.  Thanks for debunking the myth, Mom.

She’s had two miscarriages (before and after my brother), one C-section, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes with my brother that almost killed her, and had her tubes tied.

She’s frank about the pros/cons of natural vs C-section, breastfeeding, babywearing and all the other choices she made.  She’s never hidden anything in our medical history.  She found ways to explain both miscarriages and how sick she was with my brother when my sister and I were 2-5, so I’m pretty sure OP can figure out how to explain IVF to 8 and 12yo.[/quote]
