Kourtney, 43, and Travis, 46, have made their pregnancy journey, like their stream of “excessive PDA” as fans have surely noted - no secret.
They revealed they were trying for a child in the first in a trailer for The Kardashians back in March, and Kourtney has also shared that the couple - who's now wed a whiplash-inducing three times, most recently in Italy - wants "two kids".
The couple is still in their Honeymoon phase, to put it lightly - while trying it all.
Here's a look at the WILD baby-making schemes they've gone for recently, not exactly holding back any details.

COME AGAIN?
During Episode 7 of their Hulu show, the lovebirds met with an "Ayurvedic expert" in California, which is an Indian practice - for better egg retrieval.
But first, Kourtney revealed to expert Martha what her doctor had told her earlier.
“I can’t remember if they told us that my thyroid level was low or high, but he said that the thing that would help it would be drinking Travis’ c*m four times a week.”
Travis laughed and said “I love this doctor!” as the specialist seemed less than thrilled.

Travis also added the doctor said his sperm was "A-plus."
One fan wrote to Twitter after May 26th's head-turner, "Did Kourtney just say she was going to drink Travis’ c*m 4 times a week?!"
"OK Kourtney and Travis officially creep me out. Her talking about needing to swallow his c*m... and the way he hovers her like a weirdo. I can’t lmao." wrote another.
A third posted, "I'm not sure what I'm laughing at more Kourtney and Travis .... their ridiculous cleanse or talk of drinking his c*m?!"

QUESTIONABLE CLEANSE
"After the pre-cleanse, we will do a seven-day cleanse where we will go to her spa every day... for four hours a day," Kourtney explained during the same episode on her Panchakarma cleanse.
Panchakarma is an ancient method rooted in the Indian practice of detoxifying and cleansing the body of unwanted waste.
Panchakarma, which translates to "five actions," tends to include a pre-cleanse, an actual cleanse and a post-cleanse.
As expert Martha Soffer's website describes, "Ayurveda and Surya provide natural therapies that help eliminate toxins and support the development of healthy, strong eggs and sperm."
Or as Kourtney described of the Indian practice on Hulu, “It's like Ayurvedic, it’s like 3000 years old."
Many called the Ayurvedic cleanse "appropriation" of Indian culture on Reddit.
"It’s profiting off Indian culture (which many many Americans have spent years ridiculing) without allowing the communities where Ayurveda originated to benefit from it!" one wrote.
"Nowhere in Ayurveda, are people told to abstain from sex, or drink c*m like four times a week," wrote another.
"Ayurveda is nothing near to the bulls**t these people are endorsing. It feels bad because our culture is already looked at in a funny way, and spreading lies about something that us Indians are proud of, just rubs me the wrong way," wrote a third.
Each session from Martha $1550, so a week's worth is $11.3K before 10% gratuity.
The pre-cleanse alone entails "no intercourse, caffeine, sugar, or exercise" which Kourtney complained about to her expert, "What's the reason we can't have sex during this?"
Later on, the wild episode showed they began the seven-day spa treatment, and fans saw it all.

FOOT BATHS & HULU HEADWRAPS
"Now we are starting seven days of coming to her spa" Kourtney explained as they entered the building in casual wear.
The treatment itself included a Yoni steam to “prepare the womb” for pregnancy as well as a “ginger foot bath” that "takes the coldness out of the feet.
"Oil in the head is so good for the nervous system" Martha explained as she applied castor oil to the star's head and feet, slapping her heels after having oil applied.
Kourtney then had hot oil applied to her entire nude body - Travis had hot bags tapped along his naked body to "take inflammation out."
He was only covered by a small towel as was Kourtney.
Travis finally got a Shirobasti, which entails his head covered in a crown-like parchment with oil put on his head - no phones were allowed - which he complained about and viewers were left pretty floored.
"I’m not sure why it feels wrong but it does!!! I truly don’t want to offend anyone but what the hell is this???" another Redditor concluded.
NSFW WITH A NURSE & PURE INTENTIONS
Khloe candidly shared in Episode 6 she was "able to retrieve an egg but it didn't make it to the embryo stage."
While many fans are feeling for her, an earlier episode saw them visit a fertility doctor - where Travis was told to put his semen in a sample cup by the nurse.
Again, the couple had fun with it instead, when it may not have been the right time.
The reality star then asked: "Is there anything, like no spit or anything like that? Ok…"
She then exchanged a long look with Travis, before the pair burst out laughing and leaned into each other.
Kourtney elaborated, "Could he use like his spit, or no spit?" as Travis giggled next to her.
The nurse confirmed: "No spit. Just for the lab purposes."
One critic wrote then: ";I feel like there’s a discussion to be had about Kourtney and Travis and the consent of people around them.
"That one nurse helping them get a sample had to put up with soooo many sexual comments and she was just there trying to do her job. ... Gross and inappropriate."
But it's not all Hulu headaches as Kourtney really does seem sweetly intent on making this happen - she has embryonic art on her wall in her Calabasas home, and Travis seems on board - clearly.
Travis shares two children with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler - Landon, 18, and Alabama, 16.
Kourtney has three kids with her ex of 10 years Scott Disick - Mason, 12, Penelope, and Reign, seven - who sobbed during her PDA-packed Italy wedding in which they made out on a yacht and more.

In a resurfaced KUWTK clip, however, ex Scott once sadly exclaimed he didn't want more children with Kourtney and was "suckering him into" having them, so it's perhaps no wonder they're doing whatever it takes.
And as Travis explained on their show, "You don't have to worry about anything" to Kourtney, always encouraging despite some NSFW and simply jaw-dropping moments.
