Chrissy Teigen is giving friends and fans a look at her latest IVF journey.
Despite nicely asking fans on social media to not ask if she is pregnant, Chrissy is giving them a BTS look at her journey.
Earlier this week, the former "Sports Illustrated" model took to Instagram to announce she is “balls deep” in another IVF cycle.
Chrissy Is Documenting Her IVF Cycle
The "Cravings" author explained she is “trying to save as many eggos as I possibly can and hopefully make some strong, healthy embryos.”
On Tuesday, February 22, she shared photos to her Instagram Story of injecting herself with IVF shots.
She captioned the first photo, “No it doesn't hurt. The other shot burns a bit (ok a lot). They say to pinch the skin but I feel like that makes it burn more. But listen to your doc lol."
Chrissy Is Trying To Save As Many Eggs As She Can
Chrissy shared another story of herself pushing down the needle into her skin.
This new IVF cycle comes after Chrissy and John Legend lost their son Jack. The baby boy passed away at birth in September 2020.
At the time of his death Chrissy posted the heart-breaking news to her social media.
“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” she wrote. “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.”

As previously mentioned, Chrissy announced her she’s doing IVF earlier this week in a lengthy message.
She 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!”

Her message 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??”
Absolutely ALL of her fans showed support in her comments section.
One doting fan replied, “Thank you for this. Not for me, but for all the amazing women in my life I know that are going through this. ❤️”
“On behalf of so many women, thank you 🤍,” another appreciative person wrote.
Someone also wrote, “You are amazing ❤️ love your honesty and hearing about your journey. It’s so important that we hear about this from celebs to help normalize it. THANK YOU for who you are!”
