World IVF Day is celebrated every year on 25th July to recognise the advances made in fertility medicine since the first successful birth resulting from IVF in 1978. We have collected some of our most impactful articles on IVF and assisted reproductive technology published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology in the last few years on our World IVF Day page.

Check out articles on using artificial intelligence models to predict successful live births, diagnosing and managing infertility using NICE adapted guidelines, the debate of fresh versus frozen embryo transfer, and more.

The Journal has also begun publishing in our highly anticipated collection on the use of AI in the IVF and embryology lab. AI has the potential to revolutionise the field of IVF by improving the accuracy of embryo selection, personalising treatment plans, and developing new technologies. However, more research is needed to fully understand the benefits and limitations of AI in IVF, and to ensure that its use is ethical and safe. This collection aims to further our knowledge to inform future policy and practice.

Following the controversial US Supreme Court ruling on the use of embryos in IVF, co-Editor-in-Chief Dr David Seifer provided his thoughts on the decision in an Editorial that discusses the facts of the ruling, the potential implications, a reassurance as to the future of IVF in general, and what we might expect next.

As we celebrate World IVF Day, we recognise not only the scientific breakthroughs that have made parenthood possible for countless families, but also the resilience and hope of those embarking on their fertility journeys. This day stands as a testament to the dedication of medical professionals and researchers who continue to push the boundaries of reproductive health. As we look to the future, it is vital we continue to support and advocate for advancements in fertility treatments, ensuring equity and fairness for all.

Happy World IVF Day!
