Five failed IVF nearly broke us — Couple

Toyosi and Ifeanyi Ukejeh endured seven years of infertility, five failed IVF attempts, and a marriage strained by emotional turmoil. Their journey began when Toyosi discovered she had a blocked fallopian tube and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, making natural conception unlikely. The couple initially tried intrauterine insemination (IUI) with no success, then moved on to IVF, which also failed twice.

The third failure was particularly devastating as Toyosi had made personal sacrifices to improve their chances, even considering adoption. The experience took a toll on their marriage, with Toyosi feeling alone and struggling emotionally. She even contemplated surrogacy but ultimately decided to try IVF again after finding a more comfortable doctor.

After multiple surgeries and treatments, their sixth IVF attempt was successful, leading to the joyous news of Toyosi being pregnant with their daughter. The most challenging aspect for Toyosi was the loneliness and emotional exhaustion, as well as the physical toll of IVF treatments. Despite the hardships, their faith played a significant role in keeping them going, especially during difficult times.
