CityNews’ Melanie Ng opens up about infertility battle

By News Staff

CityNews and Breakfast Television reporter Melanie Ng recently welcomed a baby son, named Josh, and brought him in to the studio on Thursday.

They laughed, cooed, and yes, sneezed, as the cameras rolled. But it wasn’t an easy journey to motherhood for Ng, who struggled with infertility for years.

“The stats are astounding. It’s like one in six. But you don’t think you’re going to be that one,” Ng said.

“We had trouble conceiving,” she said bluntly.

“There’s a happy ending for me and there isn’t a happy ending for everyone.”

Thursday wasn’t just any Thursday. May 12 marked Canadian Infertility Awareness Day, the reason behind Ng’s visit. Ng detailed her experiences – four years of treatment at multiple clinics – in the latest issue of Today’s Parent magazine.

Today’s Parent is planning to discuss infertility online all day, and in the upcoming issue of their magazine. Follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

Rogers is the parent company of CityNews, Breakfast Television, Today’s Parent, and this website.
