Kourtney Kardashian decided to pause her IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatments after undergoing five failed cycles and three egg retrievals over approximately one year. She explained that the process had taken a significant toll on her body and mental health 1.
In an Instagram Q&A, she shared: “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… Also lots of optimizing my health.” 2
Later, on Hulu’s season premiere of The Kardashians, Kourtney stated outright that she and Travis Barker were “officially done with IVF.” She revealed that treatment had induced early-menopause-like symptoms and affected her physically and mentally 3.
By stopping IVF, she allowed her hormone levels to normalize and opted to focus on her well-being, marriage, and acceptance of whatever was meant to be. Remarkably, about a year after discontinuing treatment—and two months post-wedding—she conceived naturally on Valentine’s Day 2023, describing it as “a miracle” 4.
In summary, Kourtney Kardashian's decision to stop IVF was driven by:
- Physical & mental strain: IVF medications led to menopause-like side effects and impacted her health
- Failed attempts: Multiple unsuccessful cycles—five IVF cycles and three egg retrievals
- Emotional resolution: A desire to focus on health, marriage, and belief in “God’s plan”
This ultimately led to her unexpected natural pregnancy with Rocky Thirteen in November 2023.
