Louise Joy Brown, who was the world's first test-tube baby, gave birth to her first child, Cameron John Mulinder. Cameron was conceived naturally.
In July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown was born in Great Britain as the first ever successful "test tube" baby. At that time, this medical breakthrough gave hope to thousands of couples who couldn't conceive naturally.
IVF or InVitro fertilization is the process of uniting the egg and the sperm in vitro (in the lab or on a glass, as others have put it). The embryos formed are then transferred into the uterus. Ovulation is induced through drugs and hormone levels are monitored.
IVF has been performed many times since 1978. And nowadays, invitro fertilization is considered commonplace and has been used by infertile couples around the world.
