Kourtney Kardashian reveals secret health battle after issues with IVF

Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about her secret health battle while trying to have a baby with fiance Travis Barker.

Kourtney Kardashian has revealed a private health struggle during her IVF journey with fiance Travis Barker.

The couple have been open on their desire to have a child together on their new Hulu show The Kardashians, The US Sun reports.

During the latest episode of the famous family’s reality series, Kourtney, 43, opened up about her quest to get pregnant again.

After revealing that undergoing IVF treatment put her into early menopause, the mum of three shared another struggle she has never spoken about publicly -- depression.

“The medication put me into a depression. I have everything in the world to be happy about,” she told Kris Jenner.

“I just feel off and not myself. I’m super moody and hormonal.

“I’m a lunatic half the time.”

Kris opened up about her own difficulties getting pregnant and carrying children.

She revealed that in 1994, she suffered a miscarriage, which she has talked about in the past.

“My body entirely shut down,” the Kardashian momager said.

“I was moody and depressed and bloated and didn’t feel well … everything you just described, I went through it.”

Encouraging words

Kris encouraged Kourtney to keep trying, despite the setbacks.

“You’ll have a beautiful baby, probably a year from now,” she said on the show.

“We’ll be sitting right here, and you’ll be yelling, ‘Get the baby, it’s crying.’”

Kourtney chimed in, “God willing.”

Kover up

The episode, and talk of pregnancy, comes amid renewed speculation that Kourtney is with child.

After a low-key birthday celebration, Kourtney hit up the happiest place on Earth where she indulged in various sweet treats.

She shared a photo of herself holding a Mickey-Mouse-shaped doughnut covered in powdered sugar.

Fans spotted balloons and crowds in the background as she ventured through Disneyland that day.

Not long after, the reality star filmed her shadow strolling through the park.

She showed off her mouse ears, then panning the camera down over her outfit.

Kourtney was wearing black cargo pants and a baggy black T-shirt as she concealed her stomach.

Her belly appeared to poke out ever-so-slightly beneath a graphic tee with a skill and flower design on it.

She then panned back up, recording the theme park.

Rumours have been swirling that Kourtney and Travis are expecting for some time.

The couple announced that they were trying via IVF in the trailer for the new season of The Kardashians.

Fans were certain they saw a growing “bump” as the reality star stepped out at the Oscars with her Blink-182 rocker fiance by her side.

She appeared to have a slightly extended stomach as she posed in a tight Thierry Mugler dress.

She further fuelled speculation at the Grammy Awards, where fans again thought they spotted a “baby bump” when she attended the show wearing a black jumpsuit.

Then, Travis posted a bikini photo of him cradling Kourtney’s stomach.

She appeared in a red swimsuit with the drummer standing behind her in black swim trunks.

He had one hand on her stomach and another on her hip in the photo.
