Media Personality Nana Yaa Brefo has opened up on her struggle to give birth by trying Invitro Fertilization (IVF).
According to Nana Yaa Brefo, she has tried to give birth using the artificial method, IVF but has proven futile, hence her decision to halt the process for now.
IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology. The procedure can be done using a couple’s own eggs and sperm. Or IVF may involve eggs, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor. In some cases, a gestational carrier — someone who has an embryo implanted in the uterus — might be used.
Recall that Nana Yaa in an interview in 2020 on Angel FM revealed she lost her womb at Ridge Hospital during a major surgery while pregnant with her second kid, a situation that was difficult for her to come to terms with.
Speaking on some steps she has taken to give birth, the journalist on Adom TV’s M’ashyase3 said she was still hopeful she could nurture a baby again due to the several options available.
“I tried other means to get pregnant and I have tried IVF about six times. Four was successful but the pregnancy was aborted at a point so I am on break now. Aside from the cost, the health complication is a lot so I have relaxed now. It is the person involved or the eggs you use,” she opened up to Afia Amankwa Tamakloe.
“I have spoken to the head of social welfare about three times but I haven’t had the courage to proceed. I went to an orphanage for a donation and have even met two girls but I’m working on something currently and that will determine the next step,” she said.
