Stephanie dove deep into her bitter experience with PCOS as she admitted to not seeing her period for a whole year. She said she would not have chosen IVF if not for her hormonal imbalance, which resulted in PCOS.

After conceiving her first child, Ariella, through IVF, she wanted a second child and had to go through IVF again.

The show host further stated that she suffered heartbreak from her second IVF operation in 2024 after spending over $40,000 and travelling to Los Angeles.

Following her procedure, Stephanie called her friend and told her that she felt the baby rejected her because the baby didn’t like her, and all she wanted to do after was die.

She said she felt like standing in front of a car and just letting it hit her.
