The idea of having a seventh child sent Kris Jenner into a panic on the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
The woman responsible for four Kardashians and two Jenners overshared that she’s still menstruating at 60 because of “hormone cream”.
In a totally unplanned and unscripted moment of mother-daughter confidence, Jenner told her eldest daughter Kourtney Kardashian that while lunching with her gal pals, she (for reasons that aren’t clear) withdrew several tampons from her handbag.
“They were all flabbergasted,” Jenner said of the aforementioned ladies.
Jenner explained to her post-menstrual mates that she’s still on the rag because of the oestrogen cream she uses.
Logically, the next question Jenner faced was about her methods of contraception with her boyfriend Corey Gamble, 34.
Watch Kris Jenner work through her pregnancy scare with long-suffering gyno and longer-suffering daughter… Post continues after video.
“Why in the world at 60 years old would I be on birth control?!” Jenner told her daughter, who looked distinctly disinterested, of the conversation she had with the friend.
“And she said, ‘Because you can still get pregnant’.”
I’d have thought one last little reality baby would have brought Kris Jenner rapturous joy.
Another successor to carry on the family business. A whole new preschool marketing stream. A documentary: My Menopause Baby.
“If I am pregnant, I don’t know what I would do!” Jenner told her daughter.
Kardashian responded by telling her mother she was going to feed her actual baby, Reign, and walking off.
Jenner got her gynecologist on speed-dial, and he informed her that no, she cannot get pregnant.
‘Would I be making eggs?’ Jenner asked.
“Nope.”
Phew! Glad that’s cleared up.

Also you don't make eggs. You are born with all of them. They are released by follicles in your ovaries roughly mid cycle - it's called ovulation.
I think so much more education is need for people in biology or sex ed at school. Not just 'don't get pregnant' - how about some info for when you are trying to conceive, or get a bit older. There are so many myths and so much misinformation out there. One in six couples struggle with fertility issues.
My follicles, for example, seem to only produce 4 eggs a month instead of the average 15-20 for my age. Doctors and tests don't explain why, apparently it may have been like this a long time, or even always. Maybe I was born with less, maybe I'm just releasing fewer, maybe I lost a higher amount along the away then other women. I just found out mid-year, so now we're doing IVF in case my supply runs out early. I don't want to miss my chance.
So without better education, all I focused on was avoiding conception, until the day came where my partner and I realised we would like to have a family together. Only then did I find out. Also I think IVF, what is is and the legalities around it need to be taught. There's a lot of assumptions and judgments about it from people lucky enough to not need it.
Now I'm confused. If she's still getting her period, then how come her gyno told her she can't get pregnant. Am I missing something? LOL
Just because she is getting her period doesn't mean she is ovulating (no eggs left).
I sort of thought that, but then isn't a period the shedding of the lining of the uterus when an egg doesn't implant. I didn't realise just how ignorant I was about this subject (and I'm a woman!) until now. I thought menopause was brought on, in part, because a woman was no longer ovulating, or had no eggs left.
Back to the textbooks for me *facepalm*
