Kourtney Kardashian has stopped her IVF treatment with husband Travis Barker, saying the experience was “a lot” while she was planning for her wedding with the drummer earlier this year. As revealed in the first season of Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” the 43-year-old was determined to be met with the joyful news that she was expecting, but that appeared to be much more challenging — even with the help of Vitro fertilization.
Given how stressful it was to plan for their big day, Kardashian tells the Wall Street Journal that she decided not to put her IVF journey on hold until her schedule cleared up enough for her to focus all of her attention on trying to conceive what will be her fourth child. “We started an IVF journey, but I stopped. It was a lot. I took a break to just focus on our wedding and getting married,” she told the news outlet.

The Poosh founder went on to say that she’s putting Barker on a sex ban starting this fall as the pair try for their first child together once more. She’s been getting a lot of advice and tips from her doctors on ways in which the couple can increase their chances of conceiving. “You may have seen it on our show,” Kardashian added. “It’s all these things you can’t do: No sex, no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar. You’ve gotta eat this really clean, strict diet and you do it for five days.”
“It’s to reset your body. You do all of that—and it’s cleaning out [the toxins from] your tissues. And then you go into this spa and do treatments every day for four hours.
“Everything is very ritualistic and has a purpose, and it’s fascinating. I was doing it mostly for cleansing my body [in preparation to] hopefully have a baby.”
While the reality star thinks it’s undoubtedly going to be hard for her to refrain from having intercourse with her husband, she’s only thinking about the bigger picture, which will be to hear that she has a bun in the oven — and that’s been her goal for around a year now.

“It’s like I can’t wait for all the obvious things, but then I also like the simplest things like I can’t wait to have caffeine. It’s definitely about moderation and being kind to yourself…,” she said.
“If I’m going to Cabo, I’m definitely drinking margaritas and having chips and guacamole. It’s all about the balance.”
Kardashian is already a mother to three children, Mason, Penelope, and Reign, while Barker has Landon, and Alabama, as well as his step-daughter Atiana De La Hoya.
