our kidlets will pretty much know from when they're old enough to be told that they're AC bubbies. No point in hiding it. My bro's kids have seen me taking tablets and doing the puregon/trigger shots (on hols, and then needing trigger when i didn't have time to get home to do it!) - they asked if i was sick, and i told them know, but that i did have something wrong and we needed some help from the doctors to get me ready to have a baby. i didn't see the point in lying to them - they're still young, but old enough to know that you don't just do injections when you're "healthy" so i couldn't confuse them by saying "yep, i'm ok, but i just do needles for the sake of it!"

i guess i don't feel like it needs to be hidden at all - we moved into a house across the road from Australia's first ever IVF baby when i was 6 (she was almost 6) - and we became friends. we were told about C and that she was and IVF baby - and even though we didn't know exactly what IVF involved, we knew it was a way that doctors helped her mum get pregnant. our kidlets will know that they're special, and know how much we fought to bring them into our lives...
