On her journey so far, Khloe explained: ‘I have to wait until the mixing process is done before I know how many embryos I have…
‘But I spoke to Dr. A and she was just a little concerned about like, I did a check and blood panels and all this stuff, and she just said that I would be a high-risk carrier for a pregnancy,’ Khloé revealed.
She added: ‘I’m not going to get into specifics on camera, but they said it’s an 80 something percent chance that I’ll miscarry. I almost miscarried with True at the beginning, but I didn’t know that was a lingering thing.’

Khloe went on: ‘[Doctor A] said she would be afraid of if embryos are so hard to create, she would feel terrible putting one in without warning me that most likely I wouldn’t be able to carry.’
She then said: ‘This is all really, like, shocking to me. All I’m trying to do is bring more love into my life and into my family and it just… I seem to be running into more and more roadblocks and it’s really hard for me to digest.’
Offering her own experiences for advice, Kim said: ‘I had the best experience with surrogacy… You’ll see that the love that you have for your kids is exactly the same. There’s no difference except that someone else is the carrier.’
