In the Season 3 premiere episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney, 44, revealed that she and Travis, 47, are “officially done with IVF” during a confessional session.
The Poosh founder said: “We would love a baby more than anything, but I just really believe in what God has in store for us. If it’s a baby, I believe it will happen.”
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum then confided that she had “seven frozen eggs from years ago.
“Before Travis, when I was thirty-eight or thirty-nine. Everyone was like pushing me to do it and most of mine didn’t survive the thaw because eggs are one cell and not one of them made it into an embryo.”
A clearly emotional Kourtney revealed: “The freezing of the eggs is not guaranteed and I think it’s like a misunderstanding.”
She continued: “People do it and think it’s like a safety net and then it’s not.”

The Lemme founder was shown talking to her sister Khloe, 38, about the situation, telling her: “Whatever is meant to be.”
The reality TV star then added: “We have a full, blessed life and I’m happy.”
Kourtney confessed: “All the things that came with IVF took a toll on me physically. My health is still affected because it’s hormones.
“And also like mentally, it definitely, like, took a toll.”
The mother of three concluded by saying, “I think just being happy is the most important thing and being a good parent to my kids. We just accept that whatever is meant to be, will be.”
‘LITTLE IVF BODY’
Earlier this month, Kourtney proudly flaunted her “little IVF body” when she took to her Instagram story to wish her friend Natalie a happy birthday and shared several photos of them together.
In one photo, Kourtney and Natalie relaxed in the sunshine with their friend Nicole, dressed in swimwear.
Mum-of-three Kourtney wore a black string bikini as she chilled on a large wooden sun lounger and soaked up some vitamin D.
The Poosh founder tied her dark hair into a top knot and wore sunglasses as she put her stomach on full display.
Just above her unedited stomach, Kourtney captioned “a little IVF body,” but it’s uncertain when the photo was actually taken.
KOURTNEY’S IVF JOURNEY
The reality TV star and her rocker husband Travis Barker have made no secret of their desire to have a child together, but their journey has not been easy.
During Season 2 of the Hulu series The Kardashians, Kourtney opened up about her attempts to get pregnant — including IVF.
“Travis and I want a baby, so my doctor took us down this road to do IVF,” Kourtney said in a confessional during one episode of The Kardashians.
“Like, it wasn’t the most amazing experience,” she added.
She told her mom Kris Jenner: “Every single person on social media is always like ‘Kourtney’s pregnant, Kourtney’s pregnant, Kourtney’s gained so much weight.’
“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 put me in menopause. … Literally in menopause.”
“Based on what, a drug?” Kris asked, to which Kourtney replied, “Yes.”
Kardashian fans were stunned when Kourtney revealed her intention to have a baby with the Blink-182 drummer in a trailer for season two of the reality TV series.
The trailer began with the mother of three admitting that “life without cameras has been a big change for us.”
A shot followed by Kourtney kissing Travis while her kids played in her backyard.
Later in the clip, viewers looked at Travis’ proposal when Kourtney revealed she wanted more children.
She said in a voiceover, “Travis and I want a baby.”
The couple were then shown visiting a doctor as they were instructed to “put a sample in this cup.”
The reality star appeared to want privacy during the date and announced that she was taking down her microphone.
Kourtney and her ex Scott Disick (39) share sons Mason (13) and Reign (8) and 10-year-old daughter Penelope.
Meanwhile, Travis has children Landon (18) and Alabama (17) with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
