Who would have guessed? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt supposedly conceived twins, Vivienne and Knox, through in-vitro fertilization. And this is coming from UsWeekly, which is a pretty reliable source.
"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a well-placed source within their camp tells Us. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."
Angelina's chance of having twins at age 33 is below 1%.
The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out."
A source adds: "They were too impatient."
I'm sorry, but if I had Brad Pitt at my disposal and wanted babies, I would keep trying until ALL the cows came home.

Ain't that the truth? "Oooooh Brad! Let's practice making babies again!"

I suspected this a long time ago, I mean Angie was so underweight. It would be very difficult to get pregnant when you're that anorexic.
i wrote that when she was pregnant, too. we had a lot of discussion going on about having an ed and trying to get pregnant. if your body has little to nothing left to give it's quite hard to spare and give the base for a new life in you.

I wonder what happened to the un-used fetuses? In the lab more than two are created, so they either threw those ones away, or they are on ice somewhere.
I dont' buy anything US prints but this one is a bit more beliveable than most of their stories. Furthermore so what ,she already has her babies.
I believe it...when you're that old and wrinkly with a small tiny penis like Brad's, it's really hard to produce.
The stress she must have endured having to sleep with Brad Pitt. The poor thing.
I really hope this isn't true. With all the kids they already have - you think they would just let things happen naturally.

Exposition, you crack me up.

I too thought it was odd she had twins. I'm curious to see how these children develop into adults. Right now all I can see are two people who had a rushed relationship while one of them was still married. And all of these children they keep having/adopting are tossed in because the parents want kids so badly (for reasons that are none of our business). Whatever happened to romance? Can anyone with a lot of kids explain how this relationship will work?

Well, there is a point I can understand: it can be difficult to have many children at the same time, but having low age differences between them can be good on the long term, for bonding and other good matters :) J.

I thought we already knew this? Didn't Angelina already say in an interview that she had used IVF to conceive? I can't remember where I saw it? Maybe I imagined it! Anyway, I think it was quite obvious to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell that AJ's pregnancy was not a natural conception. And so what? Does it matter?
In your fat faces to all of you who have insulted Jennifer Aniston saying rude and untrue things like she is barron, ect. Oh so Miss Trange had trouble concieving...I guess "Miss Perfect" iosnt so perfect afterall since she cant conceive on her own!
In the end Angelina has Brad and six healthy kids. I see you haven't been to female first where Jennifer fans pray for Angelina to miscarry, die in a plane crash, have children that are disabled etc.
wtf., you are DISGUSTING in what you said!!!! how dare you put words in my mouth! i simply stated she isnt so perfect bc she coukldnt conceive on her own! you stupid fat slobbering cow! f u
wow... take it easy psycho.... On another note it must be nice to have so much money that you can just skip the baby making process and jump at IVF treatment... isn't that like super expensive... but hey what the hell, if i had that kind of money i would prob have tons of kids too...
Good for them,, they are adults with the right to make decisions regarding their life and family with out out side influence.. I love how they live their life to the fullest with losts of love and compassion. Hope they last forever,, and continue to have a successful happy life..
what! I mean, Angie is still so young and already trying babies artificially. And Shiloh is only 2+, I don't think docs would recommond this for a woman in her condition. Brad seems healthy too....
I just think this is such an odd use of their money considering they are young and healthy and obviously no opposed to adoption....

Well i guess if you don't want to pick one out at an orphanage, it's nearly the same to pick one or two or as many as you want in your litter from a petrie dish....so privledged, so dumb.
IF this is true - is it b/c they wanted TWINS? The US article is making it sound that way: "The chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina's age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent. Says Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group (who did not treat the couple), "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits."" and "The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out."" Hmmmm........

33???? I assumed that she was like 42! I guess she just looks older from stress.
Why does it matter and why is it odd that she had twins? I never believe the tabloid rags unless it's a personal quote from the actual person. Women under 33 can have twins naturally ( I just did at age 32). Even if she did conceive thru IVF who's to say there wasn't a good reason for it? Who knows if after having Shiloh, her cycles got out of wack and they were having issues conceiving. I honestly don't think it matters. Good luck and congrats to them.

Victoria - you are correct, we already knew this. I either saw it in an interview or read it in a magazine that they had more difficulty conceiving this time round so they used in-vitro.
this clearly shows an addictive behavior... sure with money and all anything can be done even doctors can be bought. if they were truly a normal couple all of these children would have come eventually, gradually, planned. But all those children seem to be picked up out impulsively. Wonder how Pitt fills of just being the Sperm donor.

There is NOTHING wrong with having a large family. Even BEFORE Brad met Angelina he talked about wanting seven kids someday.
Just had a thought: perhaps they in-vitro-ed 4 month old fetuses. I can't figure out any other way that they were able to hide this pregnancy so long and then she was very bump-y right when they announced it. This would also allow her to miss most of that 1st trimester puking and fatigue.....

This is so not true. I can never believe US magazine anymore. Besides, twins run in Brad's family. His sister has them as well.
BrowserJul 24, 2008 @ 12:07 pm
Apparently twins in the family only have an effect if they occur in the mother's family. The father doesn't have any influence on that. So it's a girl thing. However, since the father defines the sex of the baby(s), I guess that's okay ;) and pretty great too, I would say.
