Maybelyn Fernandez, chairman of the Philippine Parliamentarians Union, is only 35 years old and also a local movie star. Married 6 years ago, Maybelyn has failed 3 times of artificial conception treatment and 2 times of IVF. Because her husband was born to the purple, the infertility issue gave her tremendous pressure and caused her to fall into depression as well as affected the relationship between the couple.
