During the Season 3 premiere of The Kardashians, which dropped Thursday on Hulu, Kourtney was seen opening up to her younger sister Khloe Kardashian.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum made it known she and her husband Travis Barker, 47, were trying to have children together and previously documented their experiences on Season 2.
In the new episode, the Poosh founder revealed that she and the Blink-182 drummer “are officially done with IVF” during a confessional.
Kourtney stated: “We 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.”
A HOPEFUL SEVEN
The Hulu star revealed she had “seven frozen eggs from years ago” that did not survive the thawing process.
She said: “Before Travis, when I was thirty-eight or thirty-nine. Everyone was like pushing me to do that and most of mine didn’t survive the thaw because eggs are one cell and none of them made it to an embryo.”
She continued to explain how “the freezing of the eggs isn’t guaranteed” and believes it’s become a “misunderstanding.”
“People do it thinking it’s like a safety net and then it’s not,” she said.
“Whatever’s meant to be,” Khloe said in return.
“We have a full, blessed life and I’m happy,” Kourtney added.
In terms of her IVF process, Kourtney confessed it took a heavy physical toll on her body, claiming her health is still impacted because of the hormones.
She also said that it took a toll on her mentally as well.

The mother of three concluded: “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.”
KOURT’S IVF EXPERIENCE
The reality TV star and her rocker husband have made no secret of the fact that they want to have a child together, but their journey hasn’t 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 to have a baby, and so my doctor took us down this road of doing IVF,” Kourtney said in a confessional during one episode of the new Hulu series.
“Like, it hasn’t been 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, they put me into menopause. … Literally into menopause.”
Kardashian fans were stunned when Kourtney revealed her intentions to have a baby with the Blink-182 drummer in a trailer for Season 2 of the reality TV series.
The trailer began with the mom of three admitting that “life without cameras was a big change for us.”
Later in the clip, viewers got a look at Travis’ proposal as Kourtney revealed she wants more kids.
She said in a voiceover: “Travis and I want to have a baby.”
The couple was 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 appointment and announced she was taking her microphone off.
