Ahead of the 2022 World Fertility Day, couples have been advised not to be discouraged in their bid to attain parenthood through In Vitro Fertilisation and surrogacy.
The co-founder of Origene Fertility, Mrs Oludayo Yusuf, gave this advice, according to a statement on Monday during a conference in Lagos.
Yusuf encouraged couples to remain unfazed in their desire to have children, noting that there are various ways to arrive at parenthood.
She said, “Parenthood is a journey and there are various ways to arrive at the destination. While the journey can seem lonely, it doesn’t have to be.
“At Origene, it is our vision to support every couple going through the journey of infertility to parenthood. We are here for every step of the journey. We will support you all the way.
“What is more important to you? Is it to have a child or what people will say? Don’t let what people will say hinder you from the joy that comes from being a parent. Remember, everyone needs a little help sometimes. So, don’t be discouraged if you require options such as sperm or egg donation and surrogacy.
“Sharing their IVF journey, some of the people who had been supported by the clinic reignited the spark of hope for many others present.”
Origene’s Medical Director and co-founder, Babatunde Ogunkinle, said, “With over 356 treatment cycles, and over 180 babies, Origene Fertility provides top-notch services such as ovulation induction, sperm retrieval, embryo cryopreservation, and Intrauterine Insemination treatment.”
