Kourtney Kardashian has clapped back at a fan following comments about her body on social media.

Recently, the 43-year-old reality TV star set the record straight after sharing a post on her Instagram page promoting her vitamin brand, Lemme.

The behind-the-scenes photos featured Kardashian donning a pair of yellow latex pants, which she paired with a matching cropped sweater while holding vitamins in her hand.

The POOSH founder not only showed the snapshots from her latest campaign but her stunning figure which garnered responses from users on the social media platform.

However, in an exchange captured by the account Comments By Celeb - one fan questioned: "Is she pregnant," to which the mother of three quickly fired back.

Kardashian mentioned her recent IVF journey as the reason for a perceived difference in her appearance and added: "The after [effects] of IVF (I only acknowledge this comment bc I do think it's important to know how IVF affects women's bodies and it's not spoken about much )... also are we still asking women if they're pregnant?"

Her comment quickly garnered thousands of likes and support from followers who also found the question insensitive. However, a few hours later, the entire post was deleted from her Instagram account and has not resurfaced.

Kourtney has been transparent with her followers about her IVF journey. Back in December, she took to her Instagram Stories to announce that she was getting her fitness back on track after struggling with her IVF treatments while trying to conceive a child with her husband, Travis Barker.

Posting a photo of her treadmill, she penned: "Finally started getting my energy back 10 months after stopping IVF, for anyone else going through it, it gets better!" adding smiley face emojis and drawing a gold star.

The couple - who got married last year - documented their attempts to welcome a child of their own during season 1 of the Hulu reality series, The Kardashians.

At the time, the reality TV personality claimed that the medication she'd been given for IVF had dangerous and lasting side effects, explaining: "The medication that they've been giving me, they put me into menopause, literally into menopause," per ET Online.

Kardashian also revealed once that she and the 47-year-old Blink-182 felt a little pressured into doing the treatment, telling host Amanda Hirsch on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.

"If you even look anything up online about things you can do to help get pregnant … it says on there, like, 'If you’re over 40' - or it might even say something younger - it says, 'Go right away,'" she said. "So, I felt a little bit pushed."

Kardashian shares her three kids: Mason, Penelope, and Reign with ex-partner Scott Disick, while Barker shares his children Landon and Alabama with ex-Shanna Moakler.
