After my IVF failed, I had thoughts of being hit by car- Stephanie Coker

Stephanie Coker, a television personality and Nollywood producer, has talked candidly about her experience with polycystic ovarian syndrome and how it led to her contemplating suicide.

In an open conversation with Chude Jideonwo, Coker revealed that she tried and failed to conceive Ariella, her first child, through infertility.

She emphasised that she was confined to a wheelchair, vomiting blood, and hadn’t seen her period in a year, adding that her PCOS diagnosis was “life-threatening.”

The director revealed that following the failure of her second IVF cycle, she experienced depression and even considered running over a car.

“After the first IVF failed, I became pregnant and gave birth to my first kid, and I felt like throwing myself in front of a car to get hit by it.

My daughter desires a brother. I refuse to board that flight again without my infant. I told my friend over the phone that I didn’t think the kid liked me. It left,’” Coker remarked.
