Born from it.
Choosing it.
Hoping for it.
Raised by it.
I am IVF.
Where it began
We were born in the early 1990s — before most people knew what IVF was, before the internet, before any of this had a name. We found each other years later, and when we began our own IVF journey, we realised neither of us had ever met another person like us.
This space began as a question we kept asking in waiting rooms and whispered conversations. It became a place for everyone touched by IVF.
The Firsts Project
We are tracing the global history of IVF, country by country, through the lives of those who were first.
United Kingdom, 1978
Louise Brown. The world's first. Known, celebrated, and living proof.
India, 1978
Kanupriya Agarwal. Born 67 days after Louise. Recognized late. Her story deserves to be told.
"Your country?"
We are mapping every first. If you know of one, help us complete the record.
