I ended up in wheelchair, vomiting blood in my IVF – Popular TV host
Television host and filmmaker Stephanie Coker has shared her harrowing experience of almost contemplating suicide following a failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempt.
Coker emphasised the life-threatening challenges posed by her PCOS diagnosis.
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 revealed how she conceived her first child, Ariella, through IVF and her subsequent attempt to conceive a second child via the same method, which unfortunately failed.
Speaking with Chude Jideonwo, Coker admitted feeling deeply dejected after the failed IVF attempt, confessing that she once contemplated stepping in front of a moving car.
“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 a known advocate for PCOS awareness and also released a film called “Where The Heck is My Period?” a documentary chronicling the daily lives of Nigerian women living with Polycystic ovarian syndrome.
The documentary featured interviews with gynaecologists, religious leaders, public figures, and native African doctors.
