Mum-of-four, Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about her IVF experience, revealing that she had five failed cycles during the process.
During a Q&A session, one of Kourtney's followers said they were finding it hard to continue their IVF journey because of multiple failed attempts.
They wrote: "Had 6 failed IVFs – how did you find the strength to keep going? It’s debilitating."
Kourtney shared an incredibly honest response with the follower and even shared her own personal struggles.
She explained that before welcoming her son Rocky, the mum had gone through five failed IVF cycles.
She empathised that although it's hard to keep going, it's always worthwhile.
Kourtney said: "I stopped after a year of trying (5 failed IVF cycles, 3 retrievals) my body relaxed and I believed in God’s plan for my life.
"Lots of prayers for whatever was meant to be for us," she said.
Kourtney said she also prioritised her health during the process to ensure she was in the best possible shape.
"Also lots of optimizing my health. I know how hard it is to feel like you’re not trying, but believing in God’s plan and saying your prayers is so powerful. All the best!" she shared.
The mum gave birth to her fourth child, but her first with husband Travis Barker, in November 2023.
Kourtney stressed that even though she tried IVF, her baby boy was conceived naturally.
She said: "I got pregnant 100% naturally NOT through IVF… one year after stopping IVF actually. Through God’s blessing, on Valentine’s Day."
