Fertility clinic to support couples on journey to parenthood

Origene Fertility, a fertility clinic, has reiterated its commitment to supporting couples on the journey to parenthood while encouraging them to remain unfazed by their desire to have children.

Co-founder, Origene Fertility, Oludayo Yusuf stated this in an event on Friday in Lagos.

The event which had as its theme: “Parenthood; From your Heart to Your Arms,” had both morning and afternoon sessions, and discussions centered on the myths about infertility and the facts.

Yusuf said that Origene Fertility offers world-class solutions in fertility treatments with the help of advanced tools and the experience of a pioneer gynecologists’ team.

“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,” she said.

Yusuf, who is also a Senior Embryologist asked what was more important to couples, is it to have a child or what people will say.

She said: “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.”

According to her, the journey to parenthood is not a one-size-fits-all as some journeys through gamete donation, embryo donation, IVF, surrogacy, and adoption.

Yusuf noted that the aim was to become a parent in a safe, comfortable, and legal way, adding that, one must decide to take the first step.

On his part, the Medical Director, and co-founder, Dr. Babatunde Ogunkinle spoke on the landmark of reproductive science, stating that over eight million babies have been born through In Vitro fertilization (IVF).

“With over 356 treatment cycles and over 180 babies, Origene Fertility provides top-notch services such as ovulation induction, sperm retrieval, embryo cryopreservation, and IUI treatment,” he said.
