Kim Kardashian reveals how IVF helped her get pregnant

Kim Kardashian recently confirmed she's pregnant with baby number two after months of fertility treatment with husband Kanye West.

The 34-year-old tried to expand her family with the American rapper for eight months, but it wasn't until the couple had the help of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), that they were able to conceive for the second time, People Magazine reported.

Sources also revealed that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star had three surgeries to repair her uterus after her first pregnancy ended in a complicated delivery due to preeclampsia, a potentially dangerous condition in which a woman's blood pressure skyrockets during pregnancy, as well as placenta accreta, where blood vessels from the placenta grow into the uterine wall and remain attached.

But the inner lining had been so damaged that she was told conceiving on her own wasn't possible, so the couple, with the help of her fertility doctors, had IVF treatment with hormones four months ago, which sadly didn't take. The next month, the couple conceived using IVF, but on Kardashian's natural cycle, without hormones.

Kim is thrilled, but is having a hard time with the pregnancy as she is suffering with all day sickness.
