- Kourtney Kardashian shut down pregnancy rumors in her Instagram comments, Today reported.
- Kardashian said she thinks it's important to speak about "how IVF affects women's bodies."
Kourtney Kardashian Barker shut down pregnancy speculation on Instagram, responding to a commenter by saying that she was undergoing the aftereffects of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
As Today reported, and as captured by the Instagram aggregation account @commentsbycelebs, a fan responded to a recent post of Kardashian Barker promoting her vitamin and supplement line, Lemme, asking if she was pregnant. The post appears to have since been removed from Kardashian Barker's account.
"the after affects of IVF," Kardashian Barker replied. "(I only acknowledge this comment bc I think it's important to know how IVF affects women's bodies and it's not spoken about much) ... also are we still asking women if they're pregnant?"
A representative for Kardashian Barker did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
This isn't the first time that Kardashian Barker has responded to pregnancy speculation in her comment section. In 2020, she said that she had "a few extra pounds on, and I actually love it" in one photo after someone asked if she was pregnant, Insider previously reported. And in an Instagram live in April of that year, she said that she didn't take speculation "offensively," and that she had decided to "embrace my body," Insider reported.
Kardashian Barker and her husband, Travis Barker, have been candid about pursuing fertility treatment, showcasing it on the Kardashian-Jenner family's series, "The Kardashians." Barker previously told GQ that it doesn't bother him to show their fertility efforts on television because it could help other people going through the same thing.
"Finally started getting my energy back 10 months after stopping IVF, for anyone else going through it, it gets better!" she wrote on her Instagram story in December 2022.
