    Do you find this insulting?

    Dear all,

    I have been asked by a journalist:

    There is a rumour that Angelina Jolie's twins are IVF babies and that she is actually perfectly fertile - but wanted twins so ordered them via IVF.

    I'd like to hear what the women with genuine IVF cases think of this - I'd imagine it is very insulting.

    There is a definite trend towards twins at the moment - a lot of the Hollywood mums are doing it! but according to Dr Michael Chapman of IVF Australia, twins are strongly discouraged because of the high risks associated.

    Would love to hear people's thoughts..... also please be aware that comments may be used as a news story in a newspaper, so we'd really love to hear how you feel about this.
