Chrissy Teigen has revealed she’s resumed her IVF journey, almost a year and a half after the loss of her son Jack.
In October 2020, the cookbook author and her husband John Legend announced they had sadly lost their third child, just days after Chrissy was hospitalised due to excessive bleeding.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the model wrote: “hiiii. 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.”

“I honestly don’t mind the shots…they make me feel like a doctor/chemist…but the bloating is a bitch, 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!” she continued.
“But also like please stop asking people, anyone, if they’re pregnant. 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 also shared a photo to her IG Stories that showcased IVF injectable medication typically given for egg retrievals, and wrote: “here we go again.”
Chrissy and John tied the knot in 2013, and are parents to 5-year-old daughter Luna and 3-year-old son Miles.
Last April, Chrissy told Refinery29 that she and John had a couple of frozen embryos that are “ready to go in,” adding: “If it’s not me, somebody.”
The 36-year-old, who underwent surgery to treat endometriosis in February 2021, also said: “I’m in therapy and something that I talk about often is, I just don’t understand how I can’t [carry children] because I have a really healthy uterus now.”
“I think one lingering thing is that Jack was so healthy, and it was just something with my body that was not right at that time. In my mind, I’m like, ‘I need to try again, though. I want to try again. I believe my body’s in a better place than it was.'”
