Ghanaian broadcaster, Gifty Anti
Media personality Oheneyere Gifty Anti has opened up on the emotional and physical struggles she endured while trying to conceive.
She stated that she was diagnosed with complications in her fallopian tubes, which made natural conception nearly impossible.
“They had to flush my tubes, and it was one of the most painful procedures I had ever gone through,” she recalled during an interview on Family Forum Africa.
Despite undergoing IVF treatments four times, both in Ghana and abroad, the procedures were unsuccessful.
“The doctors told me, ‘We don’t think it will happen,’” she remembered.
Heartbroken, she said she accepted her fate and considered alternatives like surrogacy or adoption.
Even after marriage, she made sure her husband understood the reality of the situation.
“I told him straight, ‘I may never carry a child.’ But he stood by me and encouraged me to have faith.”
Then, she said, everything changed when she underwent surgery for a different health issue.
“The doctor found my womb to be in good condition and told me, ‘You can carry a child. Let’s try one more time.’ I wasn’t ready, but his confidence made me rethink,” she stated.
She said this final attempt at IVF was different.
“I had my husband by my side, praying with me. The doctors encouraged me. There was so much faith involved this time,” she said.
After years of disappointment, Gifty finally conceived and carried her baby to term.
“At an age where many think it’s too late, I had my miracle,” she said with deep gratitude.
