According to research by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), every school class in the UK contains at least one child who was born as a result of IVF. The HFEA revealed that since the first IVF baby was born in 1978, over 300,000 babies have been born in the UK through fertility treatment. With IVF births now making up 2.5% of all babies born, fertility treatments have become more common and accepted in British society. The report also highlighted that the success rate of IVF has increased significantly over the years, making fertility treatment a viable option for many couples struggling to conceive naturally. However, the cost and accessibility of IVF treatments continue to be a significant barrier for many couples, making it a challenge for them to start their families.
