Chrissy Teigen just made a big announcement. The model and social media enthusiast is undergoing in vitro fertilization once again.
The announcement comes more than a year after she and husband John Legend were devastated by the loss of their son Jack at 20 weeks' gestation.
Chrissy opened up about her IVF journey in a post on Instagram on Saturday.
“hiiii," Chrissy began, alongside an image of her doing some deep stretching. "I posted about it in my stories, but I wanted to let you guys know I’m balls deep in another IVF cycle to save as many eggos as I possibly can and hopefully make some strong, healthy embryos."
In the post, Chrissy also shared an important reminder about privacy: “I honestly don’t mind the shots…they make me feel like a doctor/chemist…but the bloating is a b—ch, so I humbly beg you to stop asking if I’m pregnant because while I know it’s said with excited, good intentions, it just kind of sucks to hear because I am the opposite of pregnant!”
“But also like please stop asking people, anyone, if they’re pregnant,” she continued. “I said this in the comments and got yelled at because the internet is wild but I’d rather be the one to tell you and not some poor woman who will look you in the eyes through tears and that’s how you finally learn. Anyhow, Iove youuuuu??”
Chrissy has been incredibly open about her experiences with IVF. It's how she conceived her children Luna and Miles. She believes it's important to be transparent about fertility issues so that other women feel less alone.
In 2021, she told Today about her choice to be open about that part of her life. “I think our journey with fertility and infertility has been very public for a very long time. I just felt that the more public we were, the more public other people were,” she said.
Chrissy added that families can be formed in so many ways these days: "There’s so many different ways to make your dream happen now. Coming to terms with the fact that I can’t carry again has been something really tough, and I’ve agonized over it, because to me, it’s when I’m at my happiest."
