If you know anything about Khloe Kardashian you know that she deeply longs to be a mom.
On Tuesday, news broke that the 33-year-old was expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompsonand many on the Internet rejoiced at the happy news, knowing full well that Khloe has struggled both privately and publicly to get pregnant in the past.
Before her romance with Cleveland Cavaliers center, Khloe was in a well-documented on-again, off-again relationship with ex-husband Lamar Odom, who was battling a drug problem throughout their marriage. During their years together, Khloe talked openly on camera about undergoing fertility treatments, which were unsuccessful.

If that doesn’t get thicker, then I cannot carry a baby.”Big sister Kourtney Kardashian said at the time, “I overhear Khloe talking about her pregnancy drama, and she never really talks to me about it anymore. I kind of don’t really ask her, because I don’t want to always bother her. It just makes me sad that she has to struggle with getting pregnant.”
