Twoweeks after Chrissy Teigen sharedher struggle with infertilitywith the world, the model opened up aboutwhy she decided to go public.

I just wanted to talk about it for so long, Teigen told E! News. It didnt feel right to tweet like, Ugh, doing my IVF shots again."

Instead, during an emotional episode of her new show FABLife, Teigen and Tyra Banks tearfully discussed their frustration with people constantly asking about when they plan on having children.

Its a sweet question. It comes from a good place but sometimes you never know what the person is going through, the supermodel explained further to E!. Youre like, Im trying. What I really want to say is, Im trying and I cant."

Since the episode aired, Teigen, whos married to musician John Legend, said that there has been an outpouring of support on social media.

Usually Im getting c**p from people [on social media], but the amount of stories that were shared to both of us was really cool to see, she said. The star also tweeted out a thank you to her followers for their kindness.

Like I said, John and I have been going through this for years and its something that has been a part of our lives and our friends have known. So its just nice to have a show and kind of acknowledge it to people because I felt like I was keeping a secret from them and it was weird. So its nice to have all my social media friends know and have them share their stories, too.
