As stated by IVF-worldwide, the history of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) dates back as early as the 1890s. Walter Heape, a professor and physician at the University of Cambridge, England, had been conducting research on reproduction in a number of animal species. He reported the first known case of embryo transplantation in rabbits, long before the applications to human fertility were even suggested.

In 1965, Robert Edwards together with Georgeanna and Howard Jones at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the USA attempted to fertilize human oocytes in vitro. The first IVF pregnancy was reported in 1973 by the Monash research team of Professors Carl Wood and John Leeton in Melbourne, Australia. Unfortunately, this resulted in early miscarriage. The first ever IVF birth occurred in Oldham, England on July 25, 1978. This birth was the result of the collaborative work of Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards.
