Media personality, Oheneyere Gifty Anti
Media personality Oheneyere Gifty Anti has recounted the struggles she faced in her journey to motherhood.
In a video shared on Instagram on March 28, 2025, Gifty Anti revealed that she attempted In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) four times, but all attempts were unsuccessful.
“I had always been someone who loves children. My greatest fear was not having children of my own, either through adoption or technology. I was in a stable relationship and tried several times to have a child, but it didn’t happen. I tried IVF four times, and it still didn’t work. From Ghana to London, and at one point, I was told it wouldn’t happen,” she said.
Oheneyere Gifty Anti further shared how she eventually conceived at the age of 46.
She explained that despite doctors in the UK telling her she wouldn’t be able to conceive, she became pregnant during her fifth attempt.
“I finally got pregnant at 46. My cousin in the USA insisted that I come over because of my age, knowing that I would need to be on bed rest… He wasn’t comfortable with me staying here [in Ghana]. I was told it wasn’t possible, but it was a doctor here in Ghana who treated me and encouraged me to try again, and that’s how I got pregnant.
“It was through a different surgery, there was a growth on my stomach. When the doctor checked, it wasn’t anything cancerous,” she recounted.
