Ghanaian media personality Gifty Anti has opened up about her difficult journey to motherhood, revealing that she endured four failed IVF attempts before finally conceiving her daughter at the age of 47.
In a heartfelt interview with Edem Knight-Tay on Forty Weeks and More, Gifty Anti recounted the emotional and physical struggles she faced while trying to become a mother. She shared how doctors initially diagnosed her with infertility, making her believe she would never have a child.
Years of Struggles and Painful Treatments
Determined to have a child, Gifty Anti explored multiple options, including surrogacy, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and artificial insemination. At 41, she embarked on the difficult IVF journey, enduring multiple medical procedures and emotional heartbreaks.
> “I was in a stable relationship and wanted to have a child. I tried and tried, but I wasn’t conceiving. At some point, the doctors said I had a problem with my tubes, so they had to flush them. It was one of the most painful procedures I had to go through,” she shared.
Doctors later informed her that one of her fallopian tubes was irreparably damaged, making natural conception nearly impossible. IVF became her only option, but after four failed attempts, hope started to fade.
A Miracle at 47
Despite the setbacks, Gifty Anti’s story took a miraculous turn when she finally conceived and gave birth to her daughter, Nyame Anionyam, at the age of 47.
> “I remember when she was removed from my womb and placed on my chest, I didn’t want to let her go. The nurses said they had to clean her, but I just didn’t want to let her go,” she recalled emotionally.
Her journey is a testament to faith, resilience, and perseverance, proving that miracles can happen even in the face of overwhelming odds.
