A Brief History of Fertility Treatments – Innovations and ...

The birth of Louise Brown in England made headlines around the world. Her birth, on July 25, 1978, was that of the world’s first “test tube baby.” This child represented a miracle of hope to couples everywhere who had been affected by Infertility.

This first successful IVF was conducted by doctors Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe. After the birth of Louise Brown, these two doctors were responsible for nine more live births, three years later.

Artificial insemination is another form of assisted reproduction. The process of artificial insemination was first carried out successfully in 1953. This led to the development of sperm banks two decades later.

Fertility drugs, designed to increase egg production, became available in America during the 1960’s. Drugs which were designed for the purpose of increasing egg production for donation followed in the next two decades. In addition, fertility drugs have become available for women who wish to increase their own chances of conception. Women whose fertility is declined due to age often have successful pregnancies through the use of fertility drugs.

In the United States, surrogacy has been an option for some women and couples. In 1986, Mary Beth Whitehead of New Jersey gave birth to a child whom she had previously agreed to surrender through a surrogacy agreement. Upon stating that she had become attached to the child before its birth, a court case ensued. She was eventually granted visitation rights to the child. Surrogacy has become increasingly popular for celebrities who decide to have a child in later life.

The anonymity factor of egg donors and sperm donors have occasionally created difficulties. There have been instances in which donors later decide that they wish to know the children they helped to create, and to be a part of their lives.

Considering the innovations and advancements in fertility treatments, more women and couples are able to fulfill their hope of having a child.

  1. Am pela, thanks to Dr Osaze who cured me of fallopian tube blockage and fibroid with his herbal tuber cleanser. My marriage was on the verge of collapsing, because I was unable to bear a child for my husband. Until I came across Dr osaze's recommendation on line, and I contacted him. And he administered his herbs on me. I now have a child I can call my own. In case you want to contact him for a similar problem, or all other issues, you can reach him through his email:

  2. I give thanks to Dr Ebhota for helping me get a permanent cure to Uterine fibroid. I have used different western medication without any improvement, And I could not have a child of my own. I had heavy bleeding, frequent urination, a bulky stomach, and cramping. My bleeding is sometimes so heavy that I can’t go out. I go through 9-10 pads in a day. It is so uncomfortable. I have tried everything you can imagine because I’ve had my fibroid for 18 years but none of them have really worked. They just make you feel like you’re doing something but at the end of the day its not really much of a relief. People advertise all sorts of “Fibroid Cures”. I’ve tried all that you can imagine and they worked for a little while, but it’s not working out you have to keep on going. You cant really stop taking them. I got the contact of Doctor Ebhota from the testimony of people on the internet, and I contacted him through the Email and explained every thing to him. then he sent me his product which I used for 2 weeks. Now am completely cured so I really want to tell this to the world that there is a permanent cure to Fibroid. contact him on drebhota123456@gmail.com or whatsapp: +234935324155 he can help on any health issues
