Chrissy Teigen Reveals She Was Undergoing IVF During Sports Illustrated Shoot

Chrissy Teigen has been open about her fertility struggles before finally falling pregnant in 2015, and now she has revealed the toll it took on her body.

The 30-year-old model, who appears in the 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, revealed that during her shoot for the magazine in Zanzibar, in which she strips down to an itsy-bitsy bikini, she was injecting herself with IVF treatments.

"I was doing IVF during the shoot," she told People. "I was getting my shots and everything in Zanzibar, I had a little medical kit. It was hard because you bloat from it, and you bruise–if I hit the wrong area. That's the kind of things we had to cover with makeup."

Chrissy, who is now pregnant with a girl due in April, opened up in 2015, that she and husband John Legend had troubles conceiving.

"I will say honestly, John and I are having trouble," Chrissy shared at the time. "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. And then once you open up about all those things to other people, you start learning that a lot of people in your life are seeing these people, and they have this shame about it."

This is Chrissy's seventh appearance in the iconic issue, and took to Instagram to announce the exciting news - and shut down the trolls who have been "dissecting every little part" of her body. Seriously what.

"So excited to announce my 7th appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition - I had to count that a million times before I believed it! My @si_swimsuit family, I love you! There is nothing like being a part of this brand and this issue," she wrote.
