With the Kardashians, it's not always easy separating fact from reality show fiction.
One thing that's absolutely bonafide? Khloe Kardashian's fertility problems. "Khloe is having major problems getting pregnant," a pal tells the new Us Weekly. Her struggle to conceive with hubby Lamar Odom is "very, very real," the friend adds. "It's not contrived for their reality show."

And now that big sister Kim is married to Kris Humphries -- with a baby atop their priority list -- Khloe, 27, feels the pressure even more acutely.
"If Kim were to get pregnant first, that would cause tension, because it would highlight Khloe's struggle," a show insider explains.

Indeed, although Khloe has said "I'm a big believer in God's plan," another pal says she may just be putting on a brave face.
"There is some friction now because Khloe knows [Kim's pregnancy] is the next step and she feels terrible she can't get pregnant herself."
(Eldest sister Kourtney, 32, who has son Mason, 21 months, is also eager to get pregnant again with beau Scott Disick.)

"The competition has really got her depressed," the insider says.

Tell Us What You Think
16@Macy..they didn't write the story and US is putting it out there.....
Anna, what have you seen lately? Khloe has been the most grounded of the 3. Since she has married she has settled into being a wife and appears to love Lamar too death. She always puts Lamar first. She skipped the family vacation because she didn't want to be around the drama.
- I feel really bad for her , god bless && I'm sure he will give youu a baby when god thinks your ready (:
I really don't like the fact that Us weekly is trying to make it seem like it is a competition. It's ridiclous they are sisters and love each other. Khloe is the youngest of the Kardashian sister's so it really doesn't play in mind why she is so worried. Yes I understand that she has been married for almsot 2 years and Lamar and her havn't been able to concive but because she is trying so hard might be the problem. Sometimes when a woman is so pressured to have children (i.e: Kris her mom, her sister's and even Lamar) they get so wrapped up in it that sometimes they are not able to concive. It's a psychological problem that they have to let go of. Because if she keeps doing this to herself she could end up hurting herself emotionaly. She just needs to relax and stop thinking so much about it and she will soon see that she will become pregnant. All she needs to do is relax and people really need to leave her alone because they are just putting more stress on her. Khloe I don't know you but I love you to death. You are my favriote Kardashian even though I love you alll, I see you as mt role model the most since Ive been through a lot of things that you have been through as well. Just be strong Khloe and relax and sonner than you think you'll have little one's running around. My best wishes Khloe and I will be rooting for you.
Please why are magazines always trying to make it sound like it's a game or a race. I'm sure they're not competing w/each other they're sisters. They all just want babies...but Khloe is so immature and obnoxious not sure if she'd be a good mom. She swears too much one day she'll get a taste of her own medicine when her kids do it to her.
I wish khole all the luck in the world, its sad, but hopefully things will work out for her.
Making a game of it is ridiculous, nothing is private to these raunchy bimbos.
Why would US magazine even write a story on this!! I feel sorry for Khloe not to metion to keep reading about it in the tabloids. Give the girl a break, I'm sure she will be happy for him but heartbreaking at the same time. This story DOESNT help matters I'm sure. I wish her the BEST of luck and it will happen eventually, somehow, some way. Keep your head up Khloe...
Sorry, but telling someone to be patient isn't always productive. Infertility is real and it affects different people at different ages. It's obvious that she has been trying to get pregnant and it's not happening. I'm sure all those years ago when your mom was trying to get pregnant and then after ten years mission accomplished, but I'd bet that those were the longest, darkest days of her life. Especially if she was ready to be a mom. It's amazing all of the resources that are available today. Sure most are costly, but most people have to work hard for the things that they want and sacrafice to get those things. I'd never tell someone to be patient. That's just plain ignorance and if you have the means to help yourself then why wouldn't you? Hopefully Khloe is able to figure out the problem and fix it because I'm sure she would make a wonderful mom, just like her sister. And all the Kim haters, she deserves happiness even if you totally despise this person.
HI OF COURSE MY BIGGEST FANS ARE SCOTT AND KOURT AND MASON. ALSO I LOVE KHLOE AND LAMAR AND MY HEART ACHES FOR KHLOE.SHE DOES WANT A BABY AND THEY WOULD BE EXCELLENT PARENTS. DO NOT GIVE UP KHLOE GOD WILL HEAR YOU I AM GOING TO SAY SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR YOU . I AM SURE IT WILL HAPPEN . I STILL WANT KOURT TO HAVE A LITTLE GIRL. PRAYERS FOR ALL L. SMITH
Not being about to get pregant is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy! As women we dream as little girls playing with dolls to be a mom one day! Obviously, I understand she will be upset if Kim gets pregant first but hopefully she will rise above and just be happy for her and hope that the baby is completely healthy. But knowing Kim I am hope she doesn't just throw it in Khloe's face all the time. All everyone could talk about was Kims wedding, so if she gets pregant thats all everyone is going to talk about and that may hurt Khole. Above all, they are sisters and they should act like sisters! I am a step mom just like Khole, so actually she already has children (they may not be hers, but marrying Lamar she promised to love and treat them like they are her own) So Khole head up...you are already a mother and I promise you being a step parent is ALOT harder than being the real parent! Good luck to both but Khole should keep her head up and keep at it!
I do understand Khole's frustration. I had 3 miscarriages before I conceived my first child, and then one in b/n my first and second. Its very hard on a woman. During that time my sister-in-law just decides to get pregnant, not being married or anything w/o any problems. It hurts the heart! On the bright side, we kept at it and now have 2 amazing children. Hang in there Khloe!
While I agree, and think your comment is spot on with her not being hard on herself, until you've lived what she's going through, its much easier to say that than it is for her to believe it. I know exactly how she feels, and it's awful. And yes, she'll be happy for Kim, but devastated at the same time because it's one more person getting pregnant while she sits on the sidelines. Plus, she knows it isn't her husband, since he's clearly been able to have children, so she's dealing with a lot right now. People who haven't lived with an extended period of trying to conceive coupled with starting fertility medications that make you feel sick and all over the place emotionally don't get it. They may think they do, but really, they don't. (Not directed at your Michelle, as I do not know your story, just speaking generally :))
How desperate are these ladies for attention !!! They never happy !!!
Wow. That is the best comment I have read in a long time!
It makes me so sad when people throw around the diagnosis of "fertility issues." Khloe is a young girl - it's way too soon for her to be so hard on herself. It took my mother almost a decade to conceive, and then she had four. Women need to stop defining themselves by illusions of fertility or infertility. It's misleadiing, devisive, and distracting. Like home ownership in this country. Owning a home isn't necessary to being a good American, and being able to conceive easily doesn't make you a good woman.
