Kourntey Kardashian is trying 'ritualistic celibacy' to have Travis Barker baby

Kourtney Kardashian is touching upon the reason she quit her IVF journey with husband Travis Barker.

The 43-year-old, who had announced her plans to welcome a baby with her beau, suffered in conceiving during the season one of Hulu show The Kardashians.

In order to cleanse her body, the mother-of-three has now opted for celibacy with Barker.

During the chat with WSJ, Kourtney said: "We started an IVF journey, but I stopped. It was a lot. I took a break to just focus on our wedding and getting married."

She said: "You may have seen it on our show. It's all these things you can't do: No sex, no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar. You've gotta eat this really clean, strict diet and you do it for five days."

Kourtney explained: "It's to reset your body. You do all of that - and it's cleaning out [the toxins from] your tissues. And then you go into this spa and do treatments every day for four hours.

"Everything is very ritualistic and has a purpose, and it's fascinating. I was doing it mostly for cleansing my body [in preparation to] hopefully have a baby."
