World IVF Day 2025

July 25, 2025 is World IVF Day, marking 47 years since the birth of Louise Joy Brown—the first baby born through in vitro fertilization (IVF).

This revolutionary milestone was made possible by the groundbreaking work of Robert Edwards, Patrick Steptoe, and Jean Purdy. Motivated by Edwards’ friends, Lesley and John Brown, who had struggled for years to conceive, the team pioneered a treatment that has since transformed the possibilities for families facing infertility. Edwards was later awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010, and Louise Brown’s birth has been hailed as "one of the most remarkable medical breakthroughs of the 20th century."

Since that historic day, more than 10 million babies have been born worldwide through IVF, with approximately 2% of all U.S. births each year now resulting from this life-changing technology. Still, IVF remains financially out of reach for many, especially in the United States, where access and affordability continue to be major barriers. At Cryobaby, we’re committed to raising awareness, supporting families, and funding infertility treatments.

No one should feel alone after an infertility diagnosis—and we’re here to share hope.
