In Vitro????

Filed under: Brad Pitt > Baby Blabber > Angelina Jolie

mx0125300.jpg

Could this be true?

Could the couple that used to say they didn't care to conceive naturally and would rather adopt have done this?

According to US Weekly, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt conceived their new twins, Vivienne and Knox, through in-vitro fertilization.

That kinda makes sense. Angie was looking WAY TOO SKINNY to have gotten pregnant naturally last year. We've always suspected Nicole Richie used IVF too.

A source says, "They conceived through in vitro fertilization. They both desperately wanted more babies soon."

Well that would explain why Jolie had twins, since multiples are usually a side effect of IVF.

According to Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group, the chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina's age naturally, she's 33, is under 1%. But with in-vitro the chances become 25%.

Dr. Wisot says, "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits."

A source says Angelina chose the procedure so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. She could just knock it out."

What stress? Don't people like to get pregnant by having lots of sex?

    IVF requires a lot of preparation and hormonal injections. Often this can cause women to gain weight. So it's really ridiculous to say because they were skinny it must have been through IVF that they conceived. I know several mothers, all under the age of 33, who had fraternal twins naturally. It's not impossible. I don't believe this for a second.

    The actual act of "trying" is not stressful, but the waiting and the disappointment from not being pregnant this month, and having to try next month is very stressful.

    This is not a surprise to me. 80% of the all actors do it. She was able to plan the pregnancy so it wouldn't be a conflict in her work schedule. Plus, they wanted a boy and a girl

    All of them get IVF, just think about all the celebrities with twins. Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Dennis Quaid, Jenifer Lopez, Jane Seymour….the list goes on and on I'm sure. But how many have triplets, quads or quints? Zero, which makes you wonder how many are selectively reducing aka aborting their babies.

    What a dumb ass. The rate of getting pregnant via in vitro is very low. Much harder to get pregnant that way that by having sex. You ought to shut up about things you know nothing about, Perez.

    And even if they did it via in vitro, why is it anyone's business and why do you have to put this crap up when it's not even confirmed. What an asshole. WHy can't sites like this just stick to the "confirmed" TRUTH. What a concept.

    Don't they have enough damn kids? This just proves they are completely insane. Anyone who doesn't have fertilty issues but uses IVF has a screw loose.

    it is very stressful trying to get pregnant. but in vitro is very expensive and not everyone can afford that. so they are very fortunate that they are able to do that.

    Uhhh.. old news man… this came out before she confirmed she was pregnant. Something about Brad leaving her if she didn't supply more genetic heirs…. afraid he would go back to Jennifer…. keep up dude.

    this didn't occur to anyone before??? she was reed thin, and depressed (all knock out punches to getting preggars) and as i've said before…she's a collector! one day it will become evident that, even though she is giving these children a potentially wonderful life, the main purpose (other than to hold onto her stolen man) is to surround herself with people (either around her or growing IN her) that have to love her. she's a cutter, and a self hating depressive…her children give her great solace and comfort…let's hope she winds up giving at least as much as she gets…then no one gets hurt. her father was correct when he recounted the seriousness of her mental illness…people have children for all sorts of reasons…this is probably not the worst of them…but in vitro…why not? the wealthy can control almost everything else around them…why not the speed and quantitly of their reproduction??

    they are idiots. i can't wait until they break up. those poor kids being dragged around the world like that.

  32. 32

    Let's all genuflect before Santa Angelina. I could have sworn, back in the day she said she didn't want to have kids of her own. Now she is using I V F to have more than one? How much you want to bet, that if there is any truth to this story, that she had multiple fertilized eggs implanted, but only 2 took. This BITCH is a fucking hypocrite.

    Noooo! Reaaaally? Nah-ah!
    You people are idiots, of course was IVF! Fraternal twins (boy and girl) are very rare in normal circumstances! Of course they used in vitro! But of course all the ignorants are saying "reeeeaally??? wooow!!"

    Trying to have a baby can be very stressful as it can take a healthy couple up to 6 months to get pregnant. Many Dr.'s will not treat you for infertility until after you have unsuccessfully tried for over one year. THAT can be stressful enough.

    i swear media has gotten more and more nosy- good for brad and angie for wanting to sue for those pics– whatever the pics are of.. invasion of privacy–

    All these celebs who are too old or too skinny to get preggo naturally use in vitro because they are rich enough to do it and all their friends have done it successfully. Why else would there be such a dearth of old or super-skinny Hollywood stars having twins? And actually they often have to pick and choose which of their embryos to keep or abort — it's called, reduction.

    "Trying" to get pregnant is stressful - having lots of sex for fun isn't. You are so ignorant Perez. I had fraternal twins when I was 21, and you would not believe how many idiots accused me of having some kind of fertility treatment. I didn't, but maybe she did. Really, its none of our fucking business.

    too skinny to get pregnant???….what does that even mean. Women come in all shapes and sizes….some of us gals are just naturally thin. I know that extremely athletic womens' systems can can shut down, but that doesn't mean us thin girls will have issues getting pregnant.

  47. jenn says – reply to this
    47

    of course its in vitro - and that's not a big deal, really. tons of women do it…as soon as it was announced they were having twins, i KNEW it was either from medication or in vitro. as far as the "skinny"comment, perez you are right - women who are too too skinny or too overweight have trouble ovulating and so its no surprise to me that she wouldnt' be ovulating. i just wish that when famous women had children with the help of medicine, etc., they would share it b/c so many women have to deal with it and it still has a stigma. it might be better if the world knew that people like J.Lo and angelina went through it also…i would wager my life savings taht all of these famous women with fraternal twins had some sort of medical intervention and that's great! of course is personal and in the end who cares HOW someone gets pregnant, but people talk about it like its this terrible thing…. i'd say good for them but i'm not a fan and they are complete fraud so whatever…

    Just an fyi.. some people are unable to get pregnant just from having lots of sex. Infertility is a major health issue that seems to just get blown over by many due to lack of understanding. Most couples that need IVF to conceive cannot afford it or have to take out major loans as most insurance companies do not cover the treatment.

    YOU ARE AN IDIOT. BEING SKINNY AND GOING THRU IVF HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. PREGNANT IS PREGNANT, HOW YOU GET THERE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SIZE, WHY DO YOU WRITE ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. THEY CAN HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN, WHATEVER WAY THEY WANT AND IT'S NOT FOR YOU TO JUDGE. YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE.

    Hey Perez - I am currently DOING an IVF cycle…and your comment about Angie (and or Nicole) being too skinny to have conceived naturally and that it would make sense that she got preggers thru IVF MAKES NO SENSE!!! And yes, a side effect of some of the meds is weight GAIN, not loss.

  52. M says – reply to this
    52

    being too skinny has nothing to do with it IMO. my sister is as skinny as angie and nicole. she's probably skinnier [and always has been] and she's had three kids naturally. she even unnaturally lost weight after having kids. some people are just unnatural naturally like that.

  53. TO says – reply to this
    53

    What about J.Lo and Skeletor? Isn't she even older than Angelina's 33?
    Most people resort to IVF because they insist on having their genes reproduced - they don't want to raise other people's children. I can totally see self-centred, selfish,J.Lo thinking in that vain way - to replicate their genes at all cost. Seems to me that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have more than demonstarated that they are not that kind of people.

    Seriously, do you do any homework, any research before you post this shit? IVF is a last ditch effort in fertility treatments. Women are directed through IUI (intra-uterine injection) for at least 2 cycles (about 3 months) before IVF is suggested. And prior to IVF, women have to prepare first for egg retrieval by taking hormones to increase follicle production, then harvesting. After a week or so of incubating the eggs with the (donor) sperm, the embryos are implanted in the uterus. ANY DOCTOR WHO PERFORMS THIS PROCEDURE WILL DO SO ONLY AS A LAST RESORT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE INFERTILE. It is reckless of you to post this sort of "gossip" as you are demeaning the procedure by inferring that it is done so whimsically. By the way, neitehr woman's weight has anything to do with being unable to conceive. If they can get their period, the can conceive.

  64. IowaG says – reply to this
    64

    There's little doubt in my mind that they used some sort of fertility help. When you get as skinny as she is, your body doesn't always ovulate and you can have big problems conceiving.

    IVF? Most likely.

  65. :) says – reply to this
    65

    Re: Dance – no disrespect but he is partially right. if you are over/underweight even just by a few pounds it can really determine your chances of conceiving. i know from personal experience and yes it is stressful trying to get pregnant, it isnt always up to the potential parents whether they get a + or - result and that does add stress to the situation. just saying.

    Re: Annon – But why would that be "stressful" for the most perfect couple in the world? ? According to the gospel of St. Angelina, she LOVES doing sexy times and using sexy toys. Come on, how many times has she brought it up to the press about how kinky and dangerous she is? I don't buy the skinny/had to get IVF theory but I totally can believe the idea of her being this calculating. What better way to perpetuate the myth of her domestic perfection than to pop out a pair of fraternal twins?

  70. cindy says – reply to this

    Not sure I buy this one either. IVF is very stressful, painful, depressing, and you actually gain weight with all the drugs they pump in you.

    People are just jealous of this extremely beautiful and talented woman, her life style and ultimately "dumping on Angie" with false rumors, and untrue statement about her long time ago "drug" abuse"- make these people feel better.

    On an up note, she takes her criticism rather well, and that just makes her even more wonderful! :)
