Kourtney Kardashian is opening up about the impact in-vitro fertilization had on her body and mind.

On the latest episode of The Kardashians, released Thursday, Kardashian speaks about learning to love her body after the changes that came as a result of trying IVF to conceive with husband Travis Barker.

During a photo shoot, the Lemme founder points out that "obviously my body's changed" and talks about the hormones she was on during IVF, which she elaborates on in a confessional.

"Eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body, mentally and physically," Kardashian, 43, shares. "I think it's taken a lot to get me to the place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes."

Noting that "everyone always comments in every photo that I'm pregnant," Kardashian says that hasn't been the case.

"Obviously, we wish that, but if it's in God's plan then it is," she says of being pregnant.

At the shoot, the Poosh founder tells the other women how much Barker has been praising her body through the changes.

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

Last month, the reality star shut down pregnancy speculation after she shared images of herself on Instagram from a photoshoot, dressed in a brown bandeau top and underwear.

In one of the photos, she stood in front of a mirror while placing her hand on her stomach, leading one user to comment, "Wait a minute did I miss that she's pregnant."

Kardashian denied the rumors, writing in a reply, "Nope, but you're missing a woman's body."

At the time, Kardashian posted a slideshow of photos of herself lounging around in a two-piece paired with a cow-pattern button-up.

"This is me when I have a few extra pounds on, and I actually love it," Kardashian wrote back to the user. "I have given birth three amazing times and this is the shape of my body."
