"I Wanted To Kill Myself After My Second IVF Failed” – Stephanie Coker [Video ]

In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Coker discussed the severe and life-threatening nature of her PCOS.

Coker disclosed that IVF was her only option due to her PCOS diagnosis—a condition that caused her to bleed so much that she fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital.

She mentioned being confined to a wheelchair and, at one point, having to sleep outside in the garden because the internal heat was unbearable.

She said, “I didn’t have a period for a whole year. I didn’t bleed. PCOS made me choose IVF. Mine was very severe and my doctors told me that it was life-threatening. I even ended up in a wheelchair and I was vomiting blood.”

Stephanie Coker shared her experience of conceiving her first child, Ariella, through IVF and her heartbreak when a second IVF attempt failed.

The media personality revealed that she was feeling rejected and almost killed herself after her second IVF failed.

According to her, she had spent over $40,000 and had traveled to Los Angeles for an IVF operation last year, which unfortunately failed.

“I got pregnant and had my first child on the first IVF but the second one failed and I actually wanted to stand in front of a car and let the car hit me.

“My daughter wants a sibling. I’m not getting back on that flight with no baby. I called my friend and told her ‘I don’t think the child liked me. It didn’t stay,’” she said.

Coker is an advocate for PCOS awareness and has released a documentary called “Where The Heck is My Period?” which explores the lives of Nigerian women with PCOS.

The documentary includes interviews with gynecologists, religious leaders, public figures, and traditional African doctors.
