MARIAH Carey is undergoing fertility treatment, it has been claimed.

The singer is desperate to conceive her first child with husband Nick Cannon, so has been visiting a fertility clinic in Los Angeles and is taking hormone enhancements to increase her chances of becoming pregnant, according to America’s Star magazine.

“Mariah wants a baby ASAP. She’s actually visited fertility specialists a number of times,” a source said.

“Mariah is not going to be content until she becomes a mum, one way or another.”

Cannon has previously spoken of his desire to start a family with Carey.

“We absolutely plan to have a family,” he said earlier this year. “But we gotta prioritize, because that’s a major, major priority.

“That’s like the only priority in life, when you think about it, is starting and raising a family. We want to make sure everything is out of the way and that we don’t have any distractions.

“She’s on tour right now, I’m doing a bunch of stuff, so eventually we want to be able to say it’s time to have a kid, and set everything up.

“But we’re definitely moving toward.”

Mariah revealed last year that she and Nick have “discussed” having kids.

“We’ve definitely discussed it,” she said in November. “The only thing is that at this particular moment, it’s almost Christmas. He’s doing his work and I’m promoting and doing all this stuff. Right now is not the moment.

“My parents were divorced and it’s not like, ‘Oh, woe is me!’ A lot of people’s parents are divorced but I would just like to have a nice, normal life for that moment.”
