Chrissy Teigen Reveals She's Resumed IVF, After Heartbreaking Baby Loss

Chrissy Teigen has revealed that she and husband John Legend have restarted IVF, after their devastating pregnancy loss in September 2020.

The model and her singer husband have been open about their fertility struggles throughout their relationship, including conceiving their children Luna, 5 and Miles, 3, through IVF. Chrissy has decided to be equally open with her latest IVF journey, after being bombarded with questions.

“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,” Chrissy wrote on Instagram. “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!

“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.”

The 36-year-old mum-of-two was also just as open when she lost her baby Jack in 2020.

It would be so hard to have difficulties like that and so publicly. Good on then for sharing how hard it is sometimes to normalise it

Yeah, so hard to have people asking if you’re pregnant when you aren’t but want to be.

Pregnancy loss is such a huge emotional roller-coaster to be on. I really feel for them both. I wish them hope and love for their upcoming IVF treatments.

I wish her the best. IVF is an emotionally, intense, draining time. It’s hard on the body, the mind, the heart, and your relationship.

well said. Echo how important it is not to quiz people about pregnancy…if they are planning to, why havent they, etc etc… it’s no one’s business , and however well-meaning you do not know the path others are on. Good luck to everyone doing ivf.

The words – To our Jack – I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you. bought the biggest tears to my eyes. Wishing them all the very best through this difficult journey.
