It probably has more to do with fertility treatment, or rituals... you never know.

I think the IV fertilization has to do with timing pregnancies between movies. It insures that you will most likely get pregnant when you want and can schedule shoots around it.

I had a friend who was a doctor who made eggs get along better with sperm, I forget the specifics, but basically she was saying that the increase in twins has alot to do with the various treatments that are being used.
Like, trying harder means making more matches between eggs and sperm in hopes that one works, in many cases 2 or 3 are working now.

This is correct the rate of success goes up exponentially from multiple implantations. SO often several fertilize eggs are attached to the uteran wall at once, from my understanding.

My question is why is In Vitro Fertilization so popular with stars?

One reason is that you have the highest possibility to get pregnant with in vitro and also I think some people, possibly some actors have tight schedules so they like to plan out the pregnancy...so they can fulfill their film obligations without getting dropped from the project.
