Things are about to get fertile for Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom.

The couple wants a baby so bad that the reality star has begun fertility treatments! After months of trying the good old-fashioned way, Khloe visited the ART Reproductive Center in Bev Hills on Monday with her sister Kim to kick start the process.

This decision has been in the works for a while too. She was set to begin meeting with fertility specialists in Dallas, but got sidetracked when Lamar's NBA career was on the fritz.

Sources say that Khloe gave blood samples to be tested for horomone levels and will begin a program after the results are in.

Good luck, gurl! We know you are going to make a great momma some day soon!

Joan Rivers and daughter Melissa Rivers obvoiusly have a very close relationship!

And they certainly leave little to the imagination on their reality show, Joan and Melissa:Joan Knows Best?

Ever since Melissa's boyfriend Jason Zimmerman walked out on her last September, the deed of injecting her with fertility treatments has now been given to Joan.

During the second season of their reality show, Joan can be seen giving Melissa the shots, which is something that didn't come so easy to her at first.

On the show, Joan is seen practicing on an orange by thrusting a needle in the fruit.

And boy, do they let it all out.

Also seen on the show is Melissa and Jason's huge fight where he storms off after telling her:

Poor thing! She just can't seem to catch a break, can she?

Star Magazine is reporting that although Shania Twain is happy with her new husband, Frederic Thiebaud, the pair are privately struggling to conceive, and although they've tried acupuncture, meditation, vitamins, and fertility drugs, nothing seems to be working!

A source explains:

“She knows conceiving can be difficult for a woman her age. She really hoped she wouldn’t have to face infertility. It’s incredibly frustrating; she’s cried over it more than once. Frederic is trying to get his new wife to consider different options, like surrogacy or adoption. He asked her if she would consider using a surrogate, and she’s open to the idea. He’s also been calling around to adoption agencies, figuring out how they should proceed if they decide that’s what they definitely want to do. She’s really hoping for a daughter, and she’s even been writing songs about it. But no matter what, she’s just excited about having more children around. She loves being a mom.”

We can't imagine how frustrating and painful this process may be for them, but hopefully she'll take her husband's advice and look into other options!

There's no wrong way to make a family, guys!

We wish you the best of luck, either way! Stay strong!

Martha Stewart's daughter, Alexis Stewart, has recently revealed that after years of trying to get pregnant through in vitro treatments she will use a surrogate.

Alexis, who co-hosts the Hallmark Channel show Whatever With Alexis and Jennifer with Jennifer Koppelman Hutt, has been very vocal about her desire for a child. She has even spent a whopping $27,000 a month for the past two years on fertility treatments!!

Alexis divorced her husband in 2004, and told People in 2007, "I'm single now, but having my own kid is the most important thing in my life, so I am trying everything I can: fancy doctors, expensive drugs, high-tech procedures…"

Along with her desire for kids, Alexis says that mama Martha is desperate for grandchildren. Alexis explains, "my mom's just desperate. She has wanted grandchildren forever . . . She's always like, 'For my birthday, I would like you to be pregnant.' And I'm like, 'Me, too!' "

We wish you all the luck bb!!

We guess we won't really know until if/when an announcement is made, but we're thinking this could be legit!

A source close to Mariah Carey is not only claiming that the singer IS, in fact, pregnant with husband Nick Cannon, but that the couple is having a baby boy!

The reason for the secrecy?

Mariah is superstituous about her age, and had to go under fertility treatment to conceive - and she plans to make the announcement while promoting her new album, Merry Christmas II You!

The insider elaborates:

“She’s having a boy, but the reason that Mariah didn’t want to say anything is because she is 40, and she’s superstitious. But she’s going to appear on Oprah and The View, so she’s planning on making the announcement soon. They haven’t decided whether they’ll raise the baby in New York or Los Angeles. The fertility drugs were the reason for her weight gain earlier this year. She stopped drinking back in March or April this year.”

Wow! Again, none of this would be unexpected, but we'll wait to hear it from Mimi's mouth before we accept it as truth!

But if so, congratulations, bb! What a wonderful gift!

Despite having three children already from other relationships, Katie Price recently opened up about her struggle to conceive a child with husband Alex Reid in her new book You Only Live Once, and reveals that the couple even went in for fertility treatments!

She writes:

"After marrying Alex I had only one thing on my mind - having another baby. I'd love to have another four, in fact. But by April 2010, after we had been trying for eight months, I became so worried we made an appointment with a fertility doctor.

We were having ICSI (Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) which has a 65% success rate. It would involve me injecting hormones to stimulate egg production.

After two weeks, once the eggs were ready, the doctor would retrieve them. Just before that procedure, Alex would provide a sperm sample. An individual sperm is selected and injected into each egg. Then, when the embryos have started to grow, it's time to put them back into the uterus. I was anxious, but I thought, 'Surely this will work as I've had three children?'

As I left the clinic I felt a surge of excitement. I thought, 'I'm pregnant!' And in a way I was, because now I had the embryos inside me all they had to do was grow.

I convinced myself I was having twins. I didn't care about feeling so bloated, uncomfortable and unattractive. If I was pregnant then none of those things mattered. For the first few days I held on to the feeling of optimism, but then the waiting got to me. Then I started experiencing stomach cramps and bleeding. Alex and I had been so hopeful, so excited, and now all our dreams were dashed. I know I'm lucky to have three beautiful children. While Alex doesn't yet have a biological child, he is still part of a family with kids. I am sure we'll have a baby together one day. If we aren't successful in our attempts then we will adopt."

Our heart certainly goes out to them during what we can imagine to be a very difficult time, but we hope that both Katie and Alex focus on the three children that they already have.

There's not one single right way to have a family!
