Chrissy Teigen explains why she could never tweet about her IVF
Not too long ago models Tyra Banks and Chrissy Teigen opened up about their fertility issues on their talk show The FABLife.
Both women made it clear that they are not okay with people asking questions why they don’t have children yet. Chrissy, 29, opened up on the show about why she finds the questions so insensitive.
"I will say honestly, John and I are having trouble," she explained. "We would have kids five, six years ago if it'd happened. But my gosh, it's been a process! We've seen fertility doctors.”
Now she has recently told E! News that this is something which she has wanted to talk about for some time.
“It didn’t feel right to ever tweet, ‘Ugh, doing my IVF shots again.’ It just sounded silly. It definitely was not planned in that episode at all.”
Neither Chrissy or her husband, singer John Legend, have ever addressed their infertility issues publicly, but the model says it has been a part of their lives for some time.
“John and I have been going through this for years and it’s something that has been a part of our lives and our friends have known.
"So it’s just nice to have a show and to be able to acknowledge it to people because I felt like I was keeping a secret from them and it was weird.”
Regarding the IVF business, I have never gotten so many kind, encouraging words in my life. You guys are awesome and appreciated…

While Chrissy has always been very open and active on social media, she said that since sharing her story on her talk show, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
“Usually I’m getting crap from people, but the amount of stories that were shared to both of us was really cool to see,” she explained.
