Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are ready for a baby, but the 43-year-old reality star’s experience with IVF hasn’t been an easy one. In fact, she described it as awful.
“Travis and I want to have a baby and so my doctor took us down this road of doing IVF and it hasn’t been the most amazing experience,” she explained to her mom, Kris Jenner, during an episode of their new Hulu show, “The Kardashians.”
She added that the medication the doctor prescribed actually put her body into menopause and left her feeling depressed. The toll it’s taken on her — both physically and mentally — has made the constant pregnancy rumors even harder to deal with.
“Every single person on social media is always like, ‘Kourtney’s pregnant, Kourtney’s pregnant, Kourtney’s gained so much weight.’ I’m like, it’s so rude to comment on people when you have no idea what they’re actually going through,” she said.
Although it has been tough, Kardashian is not giving up — and Barker will be at her side every step of the way. A source told US Weekly that the couple’s fertility journey has only brought them closer and that “they’re praying for a miracle.”
