Tom Cruise 'refuses to consider IVF'

Tom Cruise has reportedly refused to have IVF treatment in a bid to conceive a baby with wife Katie Holmes.

The actress is rumoured to be growing increasingly concerned that she has been unable to fall pregnant for the second time.

Now reports that Holmes was desperate to undergo the fertility treatment but Cruise banned it because it is frowned on by the Scientology movement.

A source said: "Katie's concerned about Suri being lonely as she's kept in a bit of a Scientology bubble. She wants her to have a playmate.

"Tom keeps telling her to focus on Scientology methods of creating “positive energy” to become pregnant, which he's convinced worked the first time around, but Katie's losing patience.

“She’s getting frantic and the worst thing is she knows that the more stressed she becomes, the less likely she is to conceive.”

The couple already have daughter Suri, who is two next month, while Cruise has adopted children Isabella and Connor from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

It helps if you actually have sex ... with someone who isn't gay and sterile.

Just sayin'.

I always thought Cruise didn't want to go the IVF route with Kidman neither since he has something to prove, namely what aabbcc just mentioned above.

If Tiny Tom is Suri's real father, then it took like 2 minutes for her to get pregnant. This makes the whole situation look even more shady.

Ignoring the number 2 rule of parenthood...never conceive a child for the purpose of being the playmate for another child.

I find it hard to believe that Katie's having so much trouble getting pregnant that she would consider IVF. Especially since she's supposedly already had one child who she had no problem conceiving.

I suggest they do what they did the first time -

wait for a white sale and buy several pillows.

Note to Katie: This time, label your pillows so you won't accidentally get smaller than you were the week before.

Why not? Seems like everyone else (Angelina Jolie) did it right away when she couldn't conceive like five min. after Shiloh was born.

Geez, snap out of it already. We all know "postive energy" = "turkey baster."

Yep! He really thinks we believe he and KatE did it the old fashioned way doesn't he? Too funny.

Anyone else disturbed by how identical these two resemble each other in this pic? She looks just like him with long hair.

Umm friend of mine works in a fertility clinic that draws some A-list celebs! Nicole and Tom visited when they were married. I know without a doubt Tom shoots blanks! She gave me details. He had a hard time giving samples.

BTW she also helped Lou Rawls have his twins before he died.

Yeah, I'm sure a Chris Klein / Josh Harnett sammich gives tons of positive energy.

INTERESTING! Thanks for the scoopage KristiB. Did your friend say anything else? I'm nosy, I know.

Maybe they should've given him Playgirl instead of Playboy.

I absolutely do not believe that Suri was conceived without IVF.
