This is a discussion on Angelina Jolie is having twins! within the November 2006 - Sweet November forums, part of the Born in 2006 category; How is it that all of these 'stars' are having twins? Is there something in the water out in California? ...
How is it that all of these 'stars' are having twins? Is there something in the water out in California? I know that some of you live in California...have you been drinking it too?
I have heard that they are too busy to "try", so alot of them are having invitro. Not too sure how accurate that is though, but I guess it is possible.
I think that they are all going to the same Invitro doctor. He/she is knocking them up with about 6 or so viable embryos and whichever sticks are to be born. But what are the possibilities of them actually getting PG with more than 2 or 3, would they consider selective selection to narrow the number down? Geez I hope not.
I think Angelina is just very fertile. Shiloh was an "oops" so I believe she could have gotten pg with twins naturally if they were "trying" for more.
The other celebrities with twins, many of them anyways, have acknowledged their use of in vitro to get pregnant. Many of them are starting families after age 35, so they may need some help to get pregnant.
How old is she anyway? I don't think she's 35 or over...? I think it's probably natural too. She's just a fertile Myrtle like Amy said. And I'm not surprised... Brad has some mutant super-sperm.

If I were her eggs, I would be running down her tubes for Brad Pitts swimmers! LOL
In Vitro is a very time consuming process, and pretty invasive, I doubt people are using it as a faster way to get preggo. The older you get, the greater the odds of your body dropping more than one egg. Or perhaps, it is taking some celebs longer to get preggo or maybe they do not ovulate on their own, so maybe Clomid is the reason.

She's 33 (old like ME) and I also read on MSNBC that she took Clomid. Who knows if it is true...but there has sure been a rash of twins in Hollywood lately.
