Brangelina Turned To Fertility Treatment

New parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie turned to fertility treatments when they decided to add to their family, a source told Us Weekly.

"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a Brangelina pal said. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."

Jolie, 33, opted for the pricey procedure so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source added. "She could just knock it out."

Fraternal twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were born on July 12 at a hospital in Nice, France.

The babies' power-couple parents have spoken about a desire to have several more children. Jolie said on "The Daily Show" last year that she and Pitt can't decide how many children they want. "It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14," she said. "We kind of feel like, damn it, we're up for the challenge."

But, according to the Brangelina insider, the couple "were too impatient" in their wish to have children while they're young.

The twins join siblings Shiloh, 2, Zahara, 3, Pax, 4, and Maddox, 6.

Pitt's publicist had no comment on Thursday.
