UPDATE: Celine's 5th attempt with in-vitro

[Claudette]

I know she didn't say it on the part that was broadcast... that is why I said she mentioned it. She (or Rene) must have mentioned it to him, otherwise he wouldn't have confirmed it in the article. Edited January 24, 2010 at 07:45 PM by Claudette

So all the more reason to find the right time(the best time), being healthy and in good shape, to try and go for this last attempt(if it is..). Anyways let's hope for a good result and for lucky five to be on her side. Edited January 24, 2010 at 07:49 PM by Lou555

[Claudette]

I don't think she did it this weekend like the article said. There would have been pictures... Plus, I have a feeling that she did have a cold during that interview. There where they were talking about the ''happy wife; happy life'' thing her voice sounded very hoarse to me, like she had a sore throat or something. She was also sniffing at one stage and her eyes looked a bit red and teary. But I agree with you Lou on the fact that she would never postpone it for the Grammys...

Plus, it is hard on you physically and emotionally, so I don't think you can just keep on doing it forever.

 

Yes it is and it has to be terribly emotional since they've done this so many times and it hasn't worked...

My friend who went through this 3 times last year has quit because it was so difficult and expensive for "normal" people.

She also said that statistics say that 5 times should be enough. If you don't become pregnant after 5th time then it's not likely you will at all

Celine is lucky she can afford to do this so many times, not everyone is so stable money wise. I've never looked up price ranges but how much is it?

 

I'm sure Dr Rosenwaks has explained this to Celine in Rene in one way or another. I feel terrible that this hasn't worked for them but you are right they have to think about this realistically. They have to think about the odds. Like you said the odds are less of getting pregnant if they keep doing the IVF more and more. I just wish them all the best for this attempt. I know this is hard on Celine and Rene.

I think having this month and maybe next month (if she goes to the Olympics, even though she could still go to NY after) off from IVF her body will get stronger etc, and that must help her. Then lucky number 5 - i really hope!!! I so want to see her with another baby.

[Timster]

Couldn't she use a surrogate mother? If the embryos are ok, then surely it's the carrier that makes all the difference? If it's not working with Celine, then a surrogate may have more chance. What d'ya think?

[CSInvestigator]

I am so sad every time I see that people who love children can't have them, and the ones who don't deserve them can...

A was even more sad when I heard that Celine is one of them...

Thank God she managed to have at least one child, her love for him is endless...

I really hope she'll have another one....

I don't know... it is difficult to say because we don't know why it doesn't want to work.

[Lou555]

I don't know where to post this news and if someone already did. I read in Journal de Montréal yesterday that Céline's IVF fifth attempt has not occured yet, she has not done it as of now. I'm trying to find the specific quote right now. I'll post it here when I can put my hands on that paper again.

[Davey84]

I guess she's waiting for after the grammys and the Oprah interview... maybe it'll be on (well around) Valentine's day!

[Lou555]

I found it! It's an article intitled :

 

Semaine chargée - Céline Dion rend hommage à Michael Jackson aux Grammy Awards et fait un passage chez Oprah

 

Journaliste Michelle Coudé-Lord :

......Enfin, à travers toutes ces apparitions, Céline Dion priorise son objectif d'avoir un second enfant et souhaite bien sûr la réussite de son traitement de fécondation assistée.

Un cinquième essai, pas encore réalisé, qu'elle espère cette fois-ci chanceux.

 

Translation:

Very busy week - Céline Dion pays tribute to Michael Jackson at Grammy Awards and will appear on Oprah

 

Journalist Michelle Coudé-Lord(reliable source):

....Finally, across all these appearances, Céline Dion prioritizes her goal to have a second child and wishes of course the success of this treatment of assisted conception.

The fifth try, yet accomplished, that she hopes to be lucky this time.

Celine Dion's Struggle for a Second Baby

After four unsuccessful rounds of in vitro fertilization, Céline Dion is not giving up hope for a second child, she tells PEOPLE in an exclusive cover story.

 

"I'm going to try until it works," says Dion, 41, who has been giving herself daily hormone shots – and enduring the roller-coaster ride of emotions they bring – after the heartbreaking loss of a pregnancy in August and three other failed IVF attempts last fall.

 

"Five's my lucky number," she adds, "so this is the time it's got to [work]."

 

While her husband/manager Rene Angélil, 68, says they "go crazy" waiting for the results after each try, Dion – whose new concert film and family documentary Céline: Through the Eyes of the World, will be released Feb. 17 – stays positive, focusing her energies on son Rene-Charles, 9, who is thriving as a second-grader at his new school in Florida.

 

For more on Dion's hopes for another baby, life as a soccer mom, and her upcoming return to the stage, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Im so confused about this. Why the heck did tickets go on sale today if Celine may get pregnant still? this is all so weird ? Edited February 10, 2010 at 06:09 PM by takeachance

here is an article that I found

http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publi...272630342.shtml

[zuv]

So tonight Michel Jasmin was on tv talking to Denis Levesque on LCN

 

Michel Jasmin said that he "believes" that Celine is no longer pregnant (that the 5th attempt failed), that Rene told him (if i recall, thats how he said it) that Celine was supposed to announced that she was pregnant or not on Oprah and that if she wasnt she would have announced 2011 Vegas Show but if she was pregnant that she would have postponed the show! So he, Michel, guesses that she knows the results (negative) but didn't want to tell Oprah

 

But those are just thoughts....

[Belle Céline]

but if what you said it true why would she have announced a fifth try and Vegas at the sametime? Doesn't make much sense if they aren't going to try again because of Vegas

[zuv]

Thats why i said that those are his thougths; he wasn't affirming anything. And i'm not either. He doesn't know, he's guessing.

I know you posted this more than once so I thought you were meaning it was true, that it was her big announcement and then wasn't true so they change the announcement.

That's weird. Michel is Celine's friend.. He shouldn't talk like that and let Celine say and don't say what she wants...

[yumeng]

I wish for her happiness and healthy,now,It's the most important thinks for me.

[Jacqui]

This is really weird. Wasn't Michel Jasmin the guy who said the 5th try would happen mid-January...and then Celine and Rene said last week that they hadn't tried it yet?? Maybe it got postponed and he doesn't know that?

 

I don't think Celine would lie...what would be the point? If she has given up on having another child, wouldn't she just say it, along with the stuff she's been saying about how fortunate she is to have RC etc etc? Plus, she was probably interviewed for the People Magazine article, and why would she say all that stuff if it wasn't true?

 

Maybe I'm missing something idk, I don't have internet access at the moment so I've possibly missed a lot.

[Ronny83]

Well, if she gets pregnant in February, she could have her baby in November, start rehearsing the Vegas show in December and premiere it in March anyway.

[anewdayhascome]

I hope everything will come to normal because this chaos is terrible!

In my opinion she wouldn't have said about trying again (on Oprah) if she is not going to

Well, i just listened again, and yes he made a reflection about Celine's current situation.

Michel Jasmin Thoughts about Celine's Pregnancy on Denis Lequesques LCN

 

Edited February 11, 2010 at 05:12 PM by pyb

[Claudette]

I don't want to sound negative or anything, but I have a feeling that they have given up on the baby thing considering that Vegas is a go. I don't know, that is just what I think, unless she is already pregnant. I really wish we can get a statement from Celine or her people about this, because right now it is all very confusing. I also got a feeling that she didn't tell the whole story about this baby thing on Oprah. To me it was as if she kind of avoided going into to much about it. If what Michel says is true, you can't really blame her for not coming out and announcing it on Oprah. I mean can you guys immagine what would have happened if she did. It would have been all over the press again and it would have spoiled the mood of the show. Celine probably also didn't want people to feel sorry for her and all that. Edited February 11, 2010 at 05:37 PM by Claudette

[zuv]

But even if they said yes to march 15 2011, if Rene wants to postponed the premiere of 3-4 months because of baby #2. Don't worry he'll move the date... Sucks for the ones who already paid, but they will just have to adapt to the new day or they will be refunded.

 

I hope Michel is wrong and that it didn't fail, and hope Rene thought it was a good thing to announce Vegas even if he knew he would prolly have to postpone because of celine's pregnancy. No??? In my book, René can do what ever he wants! lol

 

I WANT HER TO KEEP TRYING!!!!!

Edited February 11, 2010 at 05:50 PM by pyb

[Claudette]

I doubt that. Celine and Rene are not stupid. They know that people will be pissed if they do that. They know that people plan these type of things ahead and that people that travel to see the show will loose their money for plane tickets and all that stuff. Plus, Celine signed a contract before RC was born and after his birth she didn't want to do it anymore at first, so I'm pretty sure she learned her lesson about signing contracts before knowing what is going to happen. I have a feeling when they signed this contract they signed it to stay... Edited February 11, 2010 at 06:05 PM by Claudette
