Kourtney Kardashian: My IVF Medication 'Put Me Into Menopause'

"Travis and I want to have a baby, and so my doctor took us down this road of doing IVF," the Poosh creator, 42, said in a confessional during a new clip from The Kardashians, released on Monday, March 14. "Like, it hasn't been the most amazing experience."

In a conversation with her mom, 66, the Los Angeles native opened up about "rude" Instagram trolls commenting on her weight gain amid IVF.

"Every single person on social media is always like ‘Kourtney's pregnant, Kourtney's pregnant, Kourtney's gained so much weight,'" Kardashian explained. "It's so rude to comment on people when you have no idea what they're actually going through. The medication they're giving me, they put me into menopause. Literally into menopause."

When the In the Kitchen With Kris author asked, "Based off of what, a drug?" her eldest daughter replied, "Yes."

The footage came hours after the first official trailer for the famous family's upcoming Hulu show dropped. In the trailer, Kardashian and the Blink-182 member, 46, attended doctor appointments together. The drummer was instructed to "put [a] sample in [a] cup," and his fiancée joked, "Turn the mics off. You don't get the audio [for that]."

Kardashian is already the mother of Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, with her ex Scott Disick, while the drummer stars Landon, 18, and Alabama, 16, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

The Grammy nominee proposed to the reality star in October 2021. Four months later, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that expanding their family was "a no-brainer for both of them."

The insider added at the time that the pair had "set their hearts on a big family and agreed there was no point in delaying or waiting to be married first," noting that it was "only a matter of time" before the couple conceived their first child together.

"Right when they got serious, Kourt and Travis decided to put effort into getting pregnant," the source went on to say. While the former E! personality and the Meet the Barkers alum were "trying to get there the natural way," they were also "looking at IVF."

The University of Arizona grad documented her egg freezing process in 2018 Keeping Up With the Kardashians episodes, telling Sarah Hyland during an Ellen DeGeneres Show segment three years later that the process gave her "peace of mind."
