DION ‘BRUISED AND NUMB’ FROM IVF
CELINE DION has been left "bruised and numb" from her ongoing in-vitro fe= rtilisation (IVF) treatment and constantly bursts into tears over her pre= gnancy heartache.
The 41 year old has been trying for a second child with husband Rene An= gelil and she has undergone four failed attempts by doctors to implant em= bryos in her uterus as they strive to expand their family. The couple had= embryos frozen for in-vitro fertilisation while trying to conceive their= first child, Rene-Charles, now nine.
In August (09) the singer confirmed she was expecting, but their happin= ess ended in heartbreak when doctors informed the couple that Dion was no= long pregnant - and the star admits she broke down when she was told the= tragic news.
In footage from her documentary, Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World,= she says, "Rene answered the phone and when I saw the tears running down= his face, I knew it wasn’t the news we have been longing for.
"You do everything right and you’re careful and you rest and then… th= e disappointment hits you like a wave. But I swear, I’ll keep trying unti= l it works." But the process isn’t easy for the My Heart Will Go On hitmaker.
Dion reveals, "I give the shots (of fertility drugs) to myself. My thig= hs are bruised and numb and full of lumps from the long needles that go d= eep into the muscle. I don’t want people saying, ‘Oh, poor Celine,’ but i= t does take a lot out of me.
"Sometimes I just suddenly burst into tears for no reason. Rene and I w= ant this so much and we go crazy waiting for the results. As a girl who g= rew up with 13 siblings, I found it hard."
