History of In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the greatest revolutions in the field of reproductive medicine, offering hope to millions of people around the world who dream of starting a family. This technique, which seems straight out of a work of science fiction, has evolved from an unimaginable concept to an everyday reality thanks to the tireless work of scientists and doctors over the decades.

The history of IVF dates back to the early 20th century, but it was not until 1978 that the world saw the first "test-tube baby" born, Louise Brown, in England. This historic milestone was the result of years of research and experimentation by doctors Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. Edwards received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2010 for developing IVF, underscoring the importance of this medical advance.

Since then, IVF has seen significant technological advances, improving success rates and making it accessible to more people. The introduction of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), egg and embryo vitrification, and sperm selection techniques are just some examples of how science has optimized this process.
