Angelina Jolie Confirms Twins are on the Way
 |
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt chose to visually announce to the world in February that they were expecting. Rumors have been swirling for weeks that Jolie is expecting not only one baby but two. Today in an interview with co-star Jack Black, Jolie supposedly confirmed that rumor that she is indeed having twins but said that she would like to keep the sex of the babies to themselves. She declined to say where she was having the babies. I'm also dying to know if she's planning a VBAC for her twins since it's medically possible, particularly in some of the countries she frequents. The twins are supposedly due August 19. |
So now the speculation is whether or not Angelina Jolie used fertility drugs. While it could have been a case of secondary infertility, there are also some who are claiming that perhaps she's simply trying to increase her family faster. The truth is that many women would love to have twins for a variety of reasons from "getting it over with quickly" to a "long held fascination with twins." So there are plenty of things that people try to do to increase the odds of having multiples, particularly twins, without fertility drugs.

Is it possible she was taking fertility drugs, hence the twins? I wouldn’t think so, but one never knows.
Well to a certain extent the “risk” of twins increase when you get older, are breastfeeding when getting pregnant, have a history of ovulating multiple times in one cycle, etc. I have not heard any fertility drug rumors.
Increasing the Odds of Twins
I think in her case it is very possible they are naturally occuring twins since she fits many of the stats that increase odds. It will be an interesting story to follow.
