In a 2022 episode of her reality show The Kardashians, Kourtney spoke candidly about the “terrible” experience she had with IVF.
She claimed in a confessional that “the drugs they gave me put me in menopause, literally in menopause.”
Kourtney theorized, “I think because I’m so clean and so careful with what I put in my body, it’s like I’m having the complete opposite reaction and working like a contraceptive instead of helping us. .”
She explained, “I have everything in the world to be happy. I just feel a little bad and not like me. Super brooding and hormonal, like I’m crazy half the time.
In December of the same year, a few months after her wedding, she told the Wall Street Journal that she had stopped her IVF treatments 10 months earlier.

She also revealed that she had “seven frozen eggs dating back to years before Travis” – a step she took as she neared the age of 40.
“When I was 38 or 39 everyone was pushing me to do this and most of mine didn’t survive the thaw because the eggs are a single cell and none of them gave birth to an embryo,” Kardashian’s older sister said.
“Everything that came with IVF took a toll on me physically. My health is still impacted because it’s the hormones. And mentally, it took its toll too,” she said.
“So I think being happy is most important and being a good parent to my kids. We just accept that whatever is meant to be will be the case.
