Last week, Teigen first revealed on social media that she had begunIVF treatments, a little over a year after she suffered apregnancy lossof her third child — sonJack.
The post on her account came after Teigen shared a since-expired Instagram Story, which showed a series of IVF injectables. “Here we go again,” she captioned the photo.
In aposton her feed, Teigen confirmed that she is undergoing IVF once again.
“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,” she wrote.
“I honestly don’t mind the shots…they make me feel like a doctor/chemist…but the bloating is a bitch,” Teigen continued. “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 added, before promising her followers that should she get pregnant, she will “be the one to tell you.”
Back in September 2020, Teigen announced that she lost her son Jack in the middle of her pregnancy.
Teigen had previously become pregnant with him naturally, while she and husbandJohn Legendconceived their other two children — daughterLuna Simone, 5, and sonMiles Theodore, 3 — with the help of IVF treatments.
She added, “We never decide on our babies' names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.”
