Celine Dion Not Pregnant After All; In Vitro Failed
Posted on Nov 11, 2009 @ 12:22PM
Grammy-winning singer Celine Dion is not pregnant now, but will keep trying, her husband, René Angélil, told a Canadian newspaper.
Angélil told the Journal de Montreal that Dion's in vitro fertilization this past summer was unsuccessful; at first the couple did believe it took.
Celine Dion Expecting Second Child!
"We are living the reality of the majority of couples who have to use [IVF]," he told the paper. "But today, we are full of confidence -- Celine is more determined than ever."
The singer, who is the youngest of 14 children, has talked passionately about wanting to have more children.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Dion, 41, announced in August that she was expecting a baby due in May.
The My Heart Will Go On singer and Angélil, 67, have an 8-year-old son, Rene-Charles, who was conceived by in vitro fertilization after six years of trying. While trying to conceive her first child, she had her embryos frozen in liquid nitrogen. When she finished her concert run in Las Vegas in 2007, she consulted a New York fertility doctor about trying to conceive again.

Angélil explained the misunderstanding: "Dr. Zev Rosenwaks believed that the procedure/pregnancy took, but that wasn't the case," he said. "We found out some days later. We were shocked. But you know Céline. She doesn't let go."
Angélil, whose battle with cancer had raised doubts that the couple could conceive again, has three other children from two previous marriages.

"I admire all the women who go through such a tough process. Since April, she has undergone numerous examinations, multiple hormone injections and blood tests," he said. "Céline and I didn't get discouraged ... we put our faith in life and in the stars."

a baby gone is a baby gone not "failed attempt". I am sure she is heart broken. I also was shocked she spit it out so early thinking she was invinicible. Usually they fail to get fertilized at all

She was an idiot for rushing to the media so soon to tout her pregnancy, who does that?? she didn't even wait the normal 3 months to announce. she cursed it. just saying...

I think that you should be more compassionate....its my understanding that her doctor made the announcement and it is unknown if he had her consent to tell

by the time she spent headlining in Vegas, she could of had several children. but got to bring in the millions and millions of dollars. in order to have one child would she give back the millions from vegas? IDK so! show me the money!

She'll probably get pregnant with multiples, that would be cool. She likes large families. I hope she gets what she wants.

On Oprah several years ago, the late 30 something talked of going back for her frozen embryo "someday", but for now it was all about Vegas. Time eventually catches up if you wait too late. Was it really worth it?

Miracles can happen...if she can't carry a baby herself, I am sure she has enough money to have someone carry the baby...

It is sad that when someone wants a child and cant get prego and look at all those that do and dont want to be. this is the sad thing.

Sorry to hear this. I had forgotten she was even pregnant. IVF is really a luck of the draw. Nothing is guaranteed.

Celine burned years of potential fertility headlining that Las Vegas show. How much money is enough?
