Kourtney Kardashian has been super open on The Kardashians about her IVF journey with her husband, Travis Barker. Now, she’s talking about how eight months of intense fertility treatments have made her body look a little different: She gained some weight—and she is totally embracing it.

The 43-year-old shared on Thursday's episode that she’s “so into” her new curves. “I am so into my thicker body. I looked up photos of my body when I was so skinny—it is cringey,” she said during the episode.

Kourtney explained that she used to “go so much by weight,” noting that she weighed around 95 pounds at one point. “Then 105 became my new normal weight,” she continued, before adding, “I am 115.”

It’s not uncommon to gain weight during IVF treatments—data suggest that women can gain between 13 to 15 pounds per cycle. And Kourt went through eight months and at least two cycles of egg retrieval, because she shared that one round "didn't go the way we would've hoped," People reported.

The stress of eight months of IVF had "definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically," Kourt says on the show, but now she "loves the changes."

But along with adjusting to her changing body, Kourt has had to quell the rumor mill online. Recently, she pushed back at speculation about her weight, clapping back at someone who asked if she was pregnant during a shoot for her new vitamin and supplement brand, Lemme.

“Wait a minute did I miss that she's pregnant?” one person wrote in the comments of a photo Kourtney posted. Kourt responded, “Nope, but you're missing a woman's body.”

Kourtney previously said on Dear Media’s Not Skinny, Not Fat podcast that she feels like she got “pushed into” doing IVF. “I got to a place where I just felt, like, exactly how timing was everything with me and Travis,” she said. But now, she said, “I feel— truly—like if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen.”

Kourtney said that she and Travis are focusing on “prayers and hope that God blesses us with the baby.”

In Thursday's episode of The Kardashians, Kourt explains that Travis has also helped her embrace her new, post-IVF body. "Every day, Travis is like, 'You're perfect,'" she said. "If I make one complaint, he's like, 'You're perfect. You're so fine… You've never been better.'"

She continued, "Having a partner who is so supportive of me and always complimenting me, no matter what, it's just helped me to really embrace the changes and actually to the point where I love the changes now."

Kourtney added that she loves being curvier and embracing her figure, or as she calls it channeling "Queen energy."
