Chrissy Teigen has revealed that she's begun IVF treatments in hopes of expanding her family.

The former model and her husband John Legend suffered indescribable heartbreak when they lost their unborn baby son Jack in 2020.

She documented the agonizing experience in a set of devastating pictures on social media at the time.

Now, it seems as though the former model - who shares five-year-old daughter Luna and three-year-old son Miles with Legend - is ready to have another child.

Taking to social media, the 36-year-old shared an Instagram Story image of herself with IVF injectables, writing: "Here we go again."

In a follow-up post, 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 b***h."

She went on: "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."

Teigen revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage in October 2020, after telling her fans that she has been hospitalized after experiencing heavy bleeding.

In a statement posted to their social media accounts the day after her admission, the pair wrote broke the tragic news, writing: "We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we've never felt before."

They continued: "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.

"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."
