Kim Kardashian has been undergoing IVF as she struggles to conceive a second child, according to a new report. The reality star has made no secret of her desire to have another baby as soon as possible, and Us Weekly claims she has turned to in vitro fertilization to increase her chances. ‘Kim has been undergoing IVF,’ a source told the publication. ‘It's causing problems with her body.’
Us Weekly alleges that Kim will reveal an implanted embryo did not take during Sunday’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians mid-season finale.
MailOnline has contacted Kim’s representative for comment.
A preview clip for this week’s episode shows Kim lying down on a doctor’s table in tears with her mother Kris Jenner, as they look at an ultrasound together.
Kim said in December that she was considering IVF, as she shared her struggle to conceive naturally.
‘A few years ago I was told I could never get pregnant,’ she told Elle UK for their Confidence Issue. ‘Three different doctors told me the same thing, which is why I wanted to have my eggs frozen.’
Kim added: ‘I was just about to do that when I found out I was pregnant with North. I want a boy and another girl; I want it to start happening straightaway.
‘I loved being part of a huge family – and I want that for North. We'd do IVF if nothing happens, but we both want to keep trying naturally.’
Us Weekly also claims that the 34-year-old and husband Kanye West are exploring the option of surrogacy, something Kim has been candid about on her reality show. The source said: 'They will do surrogacy over adoption.'
After doctors suggested that a surrogate may be the best way for Kim to have another child, her mother Kris Jenner was quick to volunteer eldest daughter Kourtney to take on the role.
‘Kourtney would probably do it,’ Kris offered, but Kim wasn’t so sure about the idea.
She said: ‘To have a surrogate is really scary to me. I don't want one. I wouldn't dare ask anyone to do that for me.'
The pair had the discussion before Kim underwent an operation to remove a piece of her placenta that was left after delivering North in June 2013, in the hope it would help her chances of conceiving naturally.
