Kourtney Kardashian has been trying to conceive a baby via IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). However, it was revealed that the medications of this treatment have led her to 'early menopause' in addition to some weight gain. Fans and followers have been ruthlessly pointing out the change in her shape and have left her social media accounts filled with 'rude' comments.

In the clip, Kourtney was seen feeling a little low as she discussed with her mum Kris Jenner about how she and her fiance Travis Barker were trying to bring a new life into the world. She also discussed the issues the couple is facing. The 42-year old Poosh founder said that this has 'not been the most amazing experience'. She explains in the now-deleted video how the weight gain is accelerated by her IVF medications. However, the virtual hate she has been receiving does not help either. The sadness has further intensified due to 'rude' comments regarding her weight gain. Many have been relentlessly pointing out changes in her physical appearance.
She said, "I’m, like, it’s so rude to comment on people when you have no idea what they’re going through," adding that, "The medication that they’ve been giving me, they put me into menopause." She then emphasized, "Literally into menopause." Kris then replied, "off of what? A drug?" Without specifying the exact prescription, Kourtney replied, "yes".
Fans who watched the clip before it was taken down expressed sympathetic views and were concerned about haters teasing Kourtney over her weight gain. One said, "This is so true, always felt sad for her when people have commented on her weight & "looking pregnant"… bless her" Another user said, "Anyone who has gone through IVF can totally relate to this. It isn’t the most amazing experience."
