World IVF Day stands as a testament to the incredible strides we've made in reproductive medicine, offering hope and possibilities to countless individuals and couples dreaming of parenthood," says Dr. Amreen Singh, a Fertility physician specializing in Obstetrics & Gynaecology. "In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child. During IVF, mature eggs are collected from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. Then the fertilized egg (embryo) or eggs are transferred to a uterus. IVF involves multiple steps—ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer—and requires significant expertise and meticulous care.

In our field, innovation is the cornerstone of progress. We've moved from the early days of IVF to advanced techniques such as preimplantation genetic testing and cryopreservation, which have significantly improved success rates and patient outcomes. It's not just about creating life; it's about ensuring that every patient receives the personalized care and emotional support they need throughout their journey. Every success story is a reminder of the profound impact fertility treatments have on families and communities. As we celebrate World IVF Day, let us continue to push the boundaries of science and compassion, striving to make the dream of parenthood a reality for all. Together, we can turn hope into life.
