![]() We introduced our manifesto “El lenguaje de la fertilidad” in the newly opened IVI Barcelona clinic. Underestimating, generalising and trivialising: these are three bad habits of language that should be avoided. In our manifesto we highlight three common mistakes that lead to advice that causes pain and even hostile words. ![]() In Spain we have teamed up with the largest patients’ association in the country: the Red Nacional de Infértiles (National Network of Infertile Patients). We also aim to put a stop to comments that are inappropriate, even when they are made with the best intentions. At the same time, we want to help people to weigh their words with care. ![]() Through this project, we hope that the problems that many people experience conceiving will no longer be suffered in silence. We have adapted the manifesto to the context of each country in which we have launched it. This is a manifesto that intends to reach three groups: medical professionals, the media and friends and family. To do this, we have introduced an international project called “Language of Fertility”. This same entity informs us that 186 million people suffer from infertility around the world. We want to do away with the lack of understanding that surrounds this disease – for a disease it is, as defined by the WHO. However, starting today, we also want to spearhead the discourse on infertility. At the same time, we provide our patients with psychological support, which is essential in the majority of cases. We are committed to personalise treatments for every diagnosis, with the best possible chances of success. On the one hand, we put our experience spanning more than three decades and our leading role in reproductive medicine at their disposal. Fertility and taboos: raising awarenessĪt IVI we offer comprehensive support to the patients who put their trust in us. We want to make the way easier for the thousands of men and women around the world who dream of having a family and who take this path. We call for a reflection on and a change in how we speak about this. To this end, we have launched manifestos in the United Kingdom, Spain, and France. This includes all that surrounds difficulties with having children. We propose doing away with the existing taboos in fertility. ![]() We are appealing for an appropriate use of language when talking about fertility. What is more, we are well aware of the importance of emotional support in the process. We have been pioneers, using the most advanced technology and the most highly qualified team. We have put a face and a name to many cases of men and women who dreamed of having a child. The time has come for us to put an end to these taboos.ĭuring more than 30 years IVI has been at the forefront of reproductive medicine.
