Pulling the plug? Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have not given up on their plans to have a baby together — but they will not be moving forward with more IVF treatments.
“I would love a baby more than anything, but I just really believe in what God has in store for us. If that’s a baby, then I believe that it will happen,” the reality star, 44, said during the season 3 premiere of The Kardashians, which started streaming on Thursday, May 25, before confirming that the couple were “officially done with IVF.”
Kourtney recalled feeling pressure to freeze her eggs in the past — and receiving lackluster results. “The freezing of the eggs isn’t guaranteed. I think that that’s a misunderstanding. People do it thinking it’s a safety net and then it’s not,” she continued. “Most of them didn’t survive the thaw and then none of them made it to an embryo.”
The Poosh founder said IVF has taken a toll her, adding, “My health is still impacted because it’s hormones. And also mentally, it definitely took a toll. So I think just being happy is most important and being a good parent to my kids. We are just embracing that whatever’s meant to be will be.”
