** Welcome to Season 5 of the Fertility Conversations Podcast. This is Episode 9 of this season. . “I made up my mind to stop worrying about childbearing and to just keep trusting God while helping other couples through their own fertility journey.”    The above was the statement made by the Late Pastor Mrs Ibidunni Ighodalo; the Founder of Ibidunni Ighodalo Foundation after trying to conceive for 11 years and going through 11 unsuccessful IVF treatments. She went on to create the Foundation to provide funding for other couples trying to conceive.    Her intention was to celebrate her 40th birthday by giving out 40 IVF treatments to couples. Unfortunately, she passed away in June 2020;  a month before her birthday. Her husband; Pastor Ituah Ighodalo proceeded to grant her birthday wishes to sponsor 40 couples for IVF treatment in 2020. Since her passing; the foundation has sponsored 100 couples for IVF treatments in Nigeria. .
