In the Nov. 17 issue of Star — on sale now! — we report that Jen has been undergoing fertility treatments, determined to have a pair of babies with John. As we told readers earlier this year, Jen's biological clock began ticking so loudly that she had some of her eggs frozen just in case she didn't meet Mr. Right in time. But now that she's proposed to John — as Star also reported — and he's excited about being a dad, she's doing everything she can to conceive before her 40th birthday in February. She's even been having alternative medicine treatments to increase her chances of having twins.

"She knows her baby-making years are limited," says a source. "It's hard for her to think of anything else — she has babies on the brain!"

And John, 31, is 100 percent ready to be a dad, too!

"He ordered a bunch of books on Amazon about pregnancy and parenting," another source reveals. "He's just as eager as Jen is. They've discussed how they plan to raise their kids, and they agree on mostly everything. They can't wait to be parents together."

While friends say the actress would be happy with a single healthy child, two babies at once would be a dream come true. "She'll try anything to help her chances," says her pal. She and John are doing a lot of yoga together, and Jen makes sure to do specific poses her instructor suggested to help her get pregnant. "Jen has also changed her diet. She's taking a lot of folic acid and has upped her intake of milk and beef — all of which are supposed to increase your chances of having twins." She's even eating cassava root, a wild yam, because women in Africa who consume it have the highest rate of conceived twins.

For much, much more about Jen's baby-making preparations as well as her most recent phone call to ex-hubby Brad Pitt (!) — pick up the new issue of Star today.
