Drs always want to know if I had a reversal and when I say no, we did IVF they look at me like I'm from Mars. I have had to explain to several drs how it works.

Some educated Drs don't understand how IVF works, so I don't expect a 25 yr old or even younger child to get it.....my children understand it, but they also helped with my shots and knew the process because of the surrogacy situations.

The general population doesnt understand the scientific approach of getting/being pregnant. Some man asked my husband why he would let me "lay with another man" to have a baby for him and his wife??? My husband then explained that I was carrying twins for a same sex couple and that each twin had a different father, and that really must have been an interesting night.....and walked away.

thanks for explaining it.
