Kourtney Kardashian just gave a health update after deciding to stop IVF with Travis Barker
Kourtney Kardashian just posted an update on how she's doing after pulling the plug on her IVF journey with her husband, Travis Barker.
ICYMI, the PDA-loving couple documented the process on the first season of The Kardashians, regularly going for doctor's appointments, egg retrievals, and even trying out a cleanse that required (in Kourtney's words) "no caffeine, no alcohol, no sex" in an effort to improve their chances of conceiving.
However, in the second season, the pair revealed that they'd decided to pause IVF as it was taking such a toll on the mum-of-three's body. "It was a lot," she said, after sharing details of how it "put her into menopause."
But in a recent black-and-white Instagram story that showed the reality star working out on a treadmill, the 43-year-old assured fans that she was slowly but surely returning to her old self.
"Finally started getting my energy back 10 months after stopping IVF, for anyone else going through it, it gets better!"she captioned the snap.
Kourtney also spoke about the process on October 4th's podcast episode of Not Skinny But Not Fat, revealing that she even underwent a brain scan to see the effects it was having on her.
"When I went to get the results, the doctor thought it was mostly from IVF because it affects your adrenals, thyroids and hormones," she said.
"My energy levels since starting that have been really down and I haven't done it since January or February and still my energy levels are still really down."
Despite the Poosh founder being "for now, done with IVF," she did admit that she has faith in the process, and has adopted a 'what will be, will be' attitude.
"I got to a place where I just felt exactly like how timing is everything with me and Travis. So, I feel like if it's truly meant to be it will happen," she concluded.
