Renowned Ghanaian media personality, Oheneyere Gifty Anti, has shared her emotional and physical journey with infertility, revealing the years of challenges she faced before finally welcoming her daughter.
Speaking on Family Forum Africa, Gifty Anti recounted being diagnosed with complications in her fallopian tubes, which made natural conception nearly impossible.
