We’re curious if you know what happened on November 10 - a date that changed the course of reproductive medicine😎 Many people don’t realize that on November 10, 1977, Lesley Brown underwent a groundbreaking medical procedure that laid the foundation for modern IVF. Under the care of Robert Edwards, Patrick Steptoe and Jean Purdy, her eggs were fertilized outside the body - a revolutionary step that led to the birth of Louise Brown, the world’s first IVF baby, on July 25, 1978. This single event opened the door for millions of families worldwide, proving that science and compassion together can create hope and life. It all started on November 10th❤️ Did you know about this historic moment? How do you think IVF has changed people’s lives since then?
