Celebrating World Fertility Day by Honoring Every Journey
Each year on November 02, the world comes together to recognize World Fertility Day, a moment dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging dialogue, supporting everyone on the path to building the family they’ve been dreaming of. For some, that journey is straightforward. For others, however, it can involve years of determination and resilience as they navigate medical treatments. No matter where you are on your path, World Fertility Day is a reminder that you are not alone, and an entire global community of doctors, professionals, advocates, and families who have navigated this journey themselves (or who are navigating this journey at the same time) stands beside you.

Redefining Risk in IVF and Why Cryogovernance® Matters
Reproductive medicine is evolving faster than ever. The demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) has surged across continents, driven by expanded access and new technologies as well as greater global mobility among patients. But that same growth has amplified the challenges (and risks) facing IVF programs worldwide. The truth is that IVF success today depends as much on safe, reliable cryostorage and transport as it does on laboratory technique. Yet as laboratories scale operations and manage increasingly complex storage networks, the systems in place to protect those sensitive materials haven’t always kept pace.
