Kardashian, who also shared her fertility issues on The Kardashians, revealed exactly how she's feeling on her Instagram story, claiming she's finally getting her energy back after 10 months as she shares a photo of her on a treadmill's dashboard.
"Finally started getting my energy back 10 months after stopping IVF. For anyone else going through it, it gets better!"
She previously spoke about how the process has put a strain on her energy levels, stating that her doctor told her IVF affects the adrenals, thyroids, and hormones. The 43-year-old and Barker have also shared their struggles and the endless doctors' visits plus treatments on the family reality TV show.
In his interview last month with GQ, the drummer shared that he has never been fazed about their IVF journey and the experiences along the way. He addressed scenes showing the couple undergoing fertility treatments and Kardashian undergoing an egg retrieval procedure, reiterating that he's less concerned about being open with viewers.
"I don't care if I'm c---ing in a cup or whatever. It's real life," stating that sharing their journey with thousands of viewers can help people.
He continued,
"Seeing Kourtney's journey through IVF [in-vitro fertilization], which is super hard for a woman, you saw her struggle with it and talk about it. That's real. And there's however many millions of dudes that have to go give their semen for this same procedure. So it's, like, relatable, you know?"
Kardashian and Barker's struggles to add to their already blended and large family that includes five children - Reign, Mason, and Penelope from Kourtney; Alabama and Landon from Travis have been going on for a while.
She described the process in April on their show, that the journey was going awful, describing it as "not the most amazing experience" while addressing her weight issue that had been on people's tongues for weeks and the pregnancy rumors.
"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."
The pair got married in a lavish outdoor marriage ceremony in Portofino, Italy, on May 22 in front of family, friends, and loved ones. They confirmed the dating rumors after spending time in Kris Jenner's palm springs home in January 2021 after years of being friends and neighbors.
