Kourtney Kardashian Reveals That IVF Medication She Is On Has ‘Put Me Into Depression’

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have been open about their hope to have biological children together, and the reality star recently revealed to her mother that she's begun IVF treatment as part of the process. Unfortunately, the experience has been difficult for her.

Kourtney revealed the details of what IVF has been like on an episode of the family's latest reality series on Hulu.

In the segment, she explains that things aren't going well, before adding, "Travis and I want to have a baby and so my doctor took us down this road of doing IVF and it hasn't been the most amazing experience."

Kourtney also explains that the constant scrutiny on social media about her body has been tough. She says, "Every single person on social media is always like, 'Kourtney's pregnant, Kourtney's pregnant, Kourtney's gained so much weight.' I'm like, it's so rude to comment on people when you have no idea what they're actually going through."

Then she tells her mother how the medication has impacted both her physical and mental well-being. She says, "The medication that they've been giving me, they put me into menopause. The medication basically put me into depression."

Commenting on Kourtney's otherwise apparent happiness, her mother offers, "I feel like I've never seen you happier, so the depression thing surprises me."

Kourtney replies, "And I have everything in the world to be happy about. I just feel a little bit off. I'm super moody and hormonal. Like, I'm a lunatic half the time."

It turns out that Kris understands completely; as she tells Kourtney, having more children in the mid-1990s was tough for her. She says, "I got pregnant in 1994 and had a miscarriage and my body entirely shut down. It stopped making anything. I was moody and depressed and bloated, didn't feel well. Everything you just described, the exact same thing happened."

The two also speak about how much Kourtney and Travis hope to have a child and bring more love into the world, which Kris understands. She says, "You wanna bring your own baby, your own love into the world. You both know exactly how it feels to have a child and how to bring a child into the world, and now you want to do it with the love of your life."
