Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt wanted more kids ASAP; did in vitro for their twins
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wanted more kids fast.
With four kids already, they've set land speed records for enlarged family planning. And now we know how.
Us Weekly is reporting that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie conceived their twins, Knox and Vivienne, through the use of in vitro fertilization.
"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a well-placed Pitt-Jolie source told Us.
"They both desperately wanted more babies soon."
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 told Us. "She could just knock it out."
Jolie has spoken openly about having more kids while she and Brad are young enough to cope with it.
"If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young," the actress told British Elle last year.
Angie is only 33. But Brad turns 45 on Dec. 18.
Will there be more kids to come? What do you think?

RUBBISH!!! That's all I have to say about that. In vitro is the most painful and stressful thing a woman can do to her body and you don't get pregnant right away. There are pills and shots (directly into the abdoman and it HURTS) This story is total rubbish made up by people who know nothing about in vitro. Rubbish, I tell you!!!
Again, Rubbish.
Another "inside source" .
Just like the inside source claimed that she refused to visit an OBGYN in Monaco when he wasn't even her doctor? Oh and lets not forget the "inside source" who fooled ET into believing she gave birth in May.
Hollywood "inside sources" are fabrications of pseudo journalists who need something to sell their magazines and newspapers.
I honestly do not know how any celeb survives you people!
In vitro should be for people who need it to have children, not for people who just can't be bothered with waiting to get pregnant. It's ridiculous.
It's kind of obvious she had IVF because the twins are fraternal.
I doubt this particular "source" (if there even is one) has any real inside knowledge, however, with this Hollywood-gotta-have-it-my-way-NOW duo, it seems the likeliest scenario. Did anyone believe for a minute, these twins were going to be identical?
fraternal twins have existed long before IVF! it's true that IVF can only create fraternal twins (and not identical ones) but this doesn't mean that all fraternal twins are obtained through IVF!!! she was young enough to conceive naturally but may have taken meds to increase the likelihood of multiple eggs being available at one time for fertilization...IVF is the last resort, there are much less invasive techniques that couples have access to before they need that.
Just because the twins are fraternal doesn't mean by any means it's IVF. Angelina has twins in her family and Pitt's sister has twins. As other people said, you just can't walk into a MD's office and demand twins. The whole story doesn't even make sense. Anyone who's dealt with infertility knows how bogus this story is
World overpopulation? Guess it doesn't count when they are RICH kids!
Right?, I'm not sure you have your facts straight: my niece and nephew are fraternal and were conceived the good ol' fashioned way. Just because twins are fraternal doesn't mean they are conceived via IVF.
LOL!!! She didn't have IVF treatments.
1.) She's young.
2.) She's obviously fertile since she conceived Shiloh practically on their first try.
3.) She started working on The Changeling in October '07.
4.) US Weekly didn't get the first baby pics. Nice way to get even.
