'I was ready for adoption, then a doctor said ‘let’s try’ again’— Gifty Anti

Media personality Oheneyere Gifty Anti has opened up about the emotional and physical toll of trying to conceive, revealing that she struggled with infertility for years before finally having her daughter.

She recounted how she was diagnosed with complications in her fallopian tubes, making 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 shared while speaking on Family Forum Africa.

Despite trying IVF four times in Ghana and abroad, the treatments were unsuccessful. “The doctors told me, ‘We don’t think it will happen,’” she recalled. Heartbroken, she accepted her fate and considered alternatives like surrogacy or adoption.

Even after marriage, she made sure her husband knew 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.”

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.”

This last 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.

Finally, after years of disappointment, Gifty conceived and carried her baby to term. “At an age where many think it’s too late, I had my miracle,” she said with gratitude.
