Céline Dion Will Keep Trying for a Baby
Originally posted 11/11/2009 08:45AM
Céline Dion isn't pregnant after all – but will keep on trying for a second child.
"We are living the reality of the majority of couples who have to use [IVF]. The process can be long and arduous," Dion's husband René Angélil, 67, told the Canadian paper Journal de Montreal of their failed attempts. "But today, we are full of confidence. Celine is more determined than ever."
Forty-one-year-old Dion's doctor announced that she was pregnant via in vitro fertilization very early in the process, and it is now revealed that the embryos transferred in August and October were unsuccessful.
"Dr. Zev Rosenwaks believed that the procedure/pregnancy took, but that wasn't the case. We found out some days later. We were shocked," said Angélil.

Céline Dion, now expecting her second child, is "very excited," says her doctor, Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, who performed the in vitro fertilization procedure that made the 41-year-old singer's pregnancy possible. When he called her earlier this week to say the pregnancy test was positive, "You could hear her chuckling," he says. "She was very happy. So was René. They are both very thankful."
Rosenwaks, director of the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine at New York-Presbyerian Hospital/Weill Cornell Center Medical Center, implanted a embryo that had been kept frozen in liquid nitrogen for the past eight years. "She is very, very early in her pregnancy," says her doc.

Céline Dion Dreams of Having Another Baby
Originally posted 10/31/2008 11:00AM
The clock may be ticking, but Céline Dion still hopes to have a second child after her world tour ends in February 2009.
There is a "small window of hope," she told Oprah Winfrey this week. "We'll give it a try after my tour ... Hopefully, we [will be] parents again. If not, that's fine. We have our miracle baby."
Dion and her husband, manager René Angélil, have a 7-year-old son, René-Charles, conceived by in vitro fertilization after six years of trying.
In the meantime, Dion has more pressing concerns, like battling the respiratory ailment which forced her to cancel a recent show in Minneapolis. (The concert has been rescheduled for Feb. 5.)

Her heart may go on – but the show will not.
A throat infection has forced Celine Dion to cancel a string of shows in Australia, Reuters reported Friday.
"Her doctor has instructed her to rest for an additional 48 hours in order to be fully recovered," publicists for Dion, 39, said in a statement.
The infection had already forced the songstress to postpone shows in Melbourne and Brisbane. Now she’s also delaying her two concerts in Sydney and one in Perth.
The multi-Grammy winner is in Australia as part of her first world tour in 10 years. The Canadian-born diva recently finished a nearly 5-year stint at Las Vegas’s Caesars Palace.
