I think I would share only when they are adults and if it was relevant --- fertility issues/questions. I see no point otherwise.

I would, mostly as part of letting them know how wanted they were and how hard we worked to have them. And also as part of our ongoing discussions about sex, reproduction, etc... I wouldn't make a big thing of it though - while it was HUGE to me and my husband, I consider it pretty unimportant/irrelevant from their perspective.

Yep! Told my daughter and son at 5 and 7 that they were created together like twins but the FET kiddo waited in the freezer because it was safest for mommy to grow one baby at a time (Their oldest brother is a preemie due to IC). They think the story is cool (no pun intended)!

My first wasn't frozen but she was created using ICSI - so we like to tell her she was born in a petri dish -and we have the pics to prove it. The kids find it fascinating from a scientific standpoint!

Did you tell your FET kids? How did you explain it? How did they react?



Oh. And they were conceived in an earlier fresh cycle that produced another child (12). This came up in my head because we were talking about triplets the other day and I thought our kids were kind of triplets.

Same here with 16 and 12 yr old. No word yet.

I want to tell mine (if lucky enough to have #2) that they were once frozen together! I think it's cool (no pun intended).

We were all embryos at some point.

I would tell if they asked for more details about their conception. But if they aren't asking, I wouldn't say more. They know they were conceived by IVF and I think that's enough detail for now, especially at this age.

Funny. My first is always so hot and my younger two (FET) are always cold. They don't know about it yet though. -OP

There isn’t No reason to tell your kid they were frozen.
