In 2024, Ifeoma hadn’t seen her period for over two years. She kept it from her husband at first, hoping it would return on its own, but after more than a year, she had to open up. She wasn’t getting any younger, and her husband wanted another baby as they had only Chinonye, their first child, five years earlier.
She suggested IVF or a surrogate, but her husband, who had agreed initially, changed his mind after telling his mother, who insisted he should take a young new wife who will give him as many sons as he wanted.
That Christmas, Ifeoma went to her husband’s village in Enugu and overheard co-wives gossiping that she was just eating her husband’s money without giving him an heir. Her spirit almost left her.
Every day, she felt her hormones and fertility slipping away, until her sister Amara introduced her to Mistotle Tea, a safe, NAFDAC-approved herbal solution. For the first time in over two years, her period came back, and she finally felt in control of her body and ready to be a mother again.
