Responding to the miscarriage speculation, the husband of Celine Dion reveals that his wife isn't pregnant due to the unsuccessful in vitro fertilization.

As rumor that Celine Dion has a miscarriage spread out, husband Rene Angelil gave clarification to Canadian newspaper, Journal de Montreal, by stating that Celine isn't pregnant because the in vitro fertilization she took in October was not implanted successfully. Rene explained, "We're living the reality of the majority of couples who face these procreation techniques."

Despite the unsuccessful fertilization, both Rene and Celine still try to reach their avidity on expanding the family by continuing to consult Dr. Zev Rosenwaks in New York City. Rene revealed, "The process can be long and arduous. But today, we are full of confidence. Celine is more determined than ever." Rene added that they were shocked when they first found out that the process was unsuccessful. He gushed, "But you know Celine, She doesn't let go."

Although the embryo transfer was unsuccessful, Rene and Celine are very grateful for their first eight-year-old son, Rene-Charles, who was also conceived through in vitro fertilization after six years of trying. Celine conceived her first child also by the help of Dr. Zev Rosenwaks at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Center Medical Center.

On the long process and the many stages of vitro fertilization, Rene Angelil said, "I admire all the women who go through such a tough process. Since April, she has undergone numerous examinations, multiple injections and blood tests." Rene stated that he and Celine Dion will always try to have more kids, saying, "Celine and I didn't get discouraged... we put our faith in life and in the stars."

The miscarriage rumor first ignited when a friend told In Touch that Celine is no longer expecting a baby. "While she and Rene are actively trying for a baby, she is not currently expecting," the friend was quoted as saying at the time.
