    I think I'd have a rough time telling my child that they came from a turkey baster.

    Yeah, it's not common for children to be conceived out of love anymore. /sarcasm

    I'll be the weirdo and admit that yes, we discussed it, and yes, we agreed to do it if H ever got tagged for a combat deployment. As it turns out, in addition to the two children I'm carrying, I still have five embryos in storage as a result of IVF and should anything happen to either me or my husband, we've each agreed to consider using them. We also agreed that we each have the option to use those embryos post-divorce, should our marriage end, and it was discussed with an attorney when we got our wills drafted. 

    I want kids. For me personally, the preferred method of welcoming kids into the world is with a husband, but life doesn't always work out like that. I like to have options, and having sperm/embryos available just creates more options for me. 

     

    Just out of curosity (and perhaps the fear we will have troubles). Are the embroys you have left over/in storage. Are they stored already fetirized with your H's sperm or are they stored seperately. If it's too personal I don't need to know.

    Embryos are fertilized eggs.

    Although it would make a magnificent wedding speech a few years down the road.

    Hmm 

    I'd like to host a "congratulations on your fertility" party for ateal. Wanna come?

    Certainly.  I think test tube shots are in order.

    Pass two of those bad boys my way, please! I need alcohol after reading this thread.

    FTR, we will refer to the instrument used as a pipette at LO's wedding. I mean, proper terminology will make the story even more magnificent! After all, he was ARTfully created.

    I just moseyed on into this thread not expecting anything remotely as hilarious as test tube shots.  And who the fcukk is ateal anyway?  Other than a douchey random?

    Shot first, questions later.
