Fertility medicine

Greek women seem to lack awareness regarding fertility issues. Both the state and the scientific community are taking action to bridge this knowledge gap. Experts emphasize that most women are unaware that 95% of their ovarian reserve is lost by the age of 35.

Emotional moments unfolded for a family in Heraklion, Crete, where a 55-year-old grandmother became a surrogate mother for her daughter, bringing a healthy baby boy into the world. This case is one of the rare occurrences in both Greece and worldwide.

Most mothers remember that they started paying for their child before they even gave birth to it. They paid for the gynecologist, some specialized tests, nutritional supplements, the private maternity hospital, the midwife. If they had to do IVF, the financial burden was even greater.

A 39-year-old woman who had undergone an ovarian tissue transplant, became the first in Greece to give birth to a baby boy last Saturday (June 8).

The boy, weighing 3 kilograms and 20 grams was delivered by caesarean section.

A wave of Republicans led by Donald Trump vowed Friday to protect in vitro fertilization in the wake of an Alabama court ruling that said frozen embryos should be considered children, in what could become a galvanizing issue in the 2024 election.

An Alabama university temporarily halted in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments on Wednesday after the high court in the southern U.S. state ruled that frozen embryos outside the womb are children.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) said it had paused IVF treatments "as it evaluates the Alabama Supreme Court's decision that a cryopreserved embryo is a human being."
