March is Women's History Month

March is Women’s History Month. Certainly, the sweeping advances in infertility treatment during the last thirty years have changed women’s history – and our futures – immeasurably. The first IVF or “test tube” baby, Louise Brown, was born in England on July 25, 1978. That news made headlines around the world, but since then, millions of children have been conceived with the help of IVF, donor eggs, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), NSA (non-surgical sperm aspiration) and other advances that followed the development of IVF. Now, thanks to these and other treatments, most infertile women can become pregnant if they are properly diagnosed and treated. These advances certainly make this the best time in the history for women who want to have a child!
