I remember when a (non-IF) woman posted a question/dilemma (I'm thinking it
was on Babycenter.com) that went something like "My husband and I want to
start a family, and we'd like to have two kids. However, I have a very
successful and busy career and I don't want to have to take time off work
for maternity leave twice. We're thinking of doing fertility treatments so
that we can conceive twins and have our family completed in one pregnancy.
What do you all think?" Of course, people were outraged that she would
even
consider doing something like that when she didn't have any fertility
issues. (I think one or two people thought it was a good idea, but
everyone
else pretty much blasted her.)
This sort of thing actually doesn't bother me nearly as much as all the
fertiles who announce one month that they're going to start TTC and then
are
announcing their pregnancies the very next month.
