The "How did you get pregnant" question

honestly, I DO know some "lesbians" that did it the uh, natural way with a known donor. I actually considered it myself before going the anonymous route. I have to admit though, I didn't go with the doctor who "knocked me up" with IUI as prenatal, since she was flabbergasted when I asked the question about whether I should simulate sexual activity before insemination to ready the cervix, or was that just for ICI. Her response "I hope not in MY office" the poor thing had no clue, but I read about it in all the books. Luckily it took the first try so I didn't have to deal with it later, but I felt pretty stupid bringing it up with that reaction.
People in general typically have asked me the nature of the pregnancy, knowing I'm single. In general, I find it nice that they at least ask, and don't run around supposing anything. I work with a lot of kids who have at times said things like, I didn't know you had a boyfriend, or whatever, and I always set them straight (in kid language of course) about how I bought some genes from a lab and made the kid myself. It's the parents who are like, oh, shush now we don't talk about that, etc. We really are part of a new generation of family, so I expect that people are going to take some head-scratching to understand everything. I find that if I'm open and friendly about their (sometimes totally ignorant) questions, i.e. "I can see where someone might wonder that", it gives them little reason to think I'm one of THOSE angry *****.
