Woman Suffers Stroke, Loses Vision After IVF Treatment
A woman who wanted to have a baby underwent fertility treatments.
She had tried for many years and had miscarriages before.
As part of her treatment, she received a medication called IVIg.
After this treatment, she had a stroke and lost her sight.
She believes the medicine caused this because she says she wasn't told it could cause blood clots, which can lead to strokes.
A 51-year-old woman suffered a stroke and lost vision after fertility treatments.

The woman received a treatment component called IVIg.
