Khloé has been open about her struggles with fertility, even showing the process of trying to have a second child on The Kardashians. During one episode, she was told that she would be at a "high-risk" if she decided to carry her own child.

"I'm not gonna get into specifics on-camera," she said during the episode, "but they said it's like an 80-something percent chance that I will miscarry. I almost miscarried with True at the beginning. But I didn't know that was like a lingering thing."

"This is all really shocking to me," she continued. "All I'm trying to do is bring more love into my life and into my family, and I just seem to be running into more and more roadblocks. It's really hard for me to digest."

Khloé's sister, Kim, shared that she had a great experience with surrogacy and insisted that Khloé had nothing to worry about if she decided to try it.

"I honestly had the best experience with surrogacy," Kim, who welcomed two of her four children via surrogate, said. "And I think that you know what giving birth feels like — I always say, if you can do it, it's such an amazing experience. But you'll see, the love that you'll have for your kids is exactly the same. There's no difference, except that there was someone else that was the carrier."
