I never thought IVF would be part of my story... Doing IVF was one of the hardest things to go through physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially, but without it, a chance at a family for many wouldn't exist. On July 25, 1978, the first IVF baby was born, which is why July 25th is named both World IVF Day and World Embryology Day. It's a day to remember that science is truly amazing. IVF may not be a guarantee, but it offers hope to many and has helped create over 8 million miracles
