US Weekly is claiming that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt used in vitro fertilization to conceive their twins. Makes sense, as the chances of having fraternal twins at Angelina’s age naturally, she’s 33, is under 1%. But with in-vitro the chances become 25%. I know I was thinking some medical intervention had to have occurred for Angie to have fraternal twins, unless she was eating a lot of yams. The source for US said that:
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.”
The twins are of course Knox and Vivienne, born in France on July 12th. Both Brad and Angelina have said that they want 10 kids, and given their age, it is no wonder that they would want to ‘knock them out’
yikes!
They have 6 kids total now with Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

10 kids! Wow, they want to leave behind quite the legacy I guess!

They get help from nannies, so 10 kids really isn’t a lot for them.

If I had the nannies and the money I would have as many kids as my body would allow. Good for them that is exciting.

That is comment insensitive to the people who HAVE to use IVF to have a child. I understand that she would want to have her children as soon as possible and good for her to actually come out and say she used IVF, but
“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.””
That isn’t something that someone who struggles with infertility would want to hear.
