Monica, who was 21 when she discovered her fallopian tubes were blocked, experienced infertility and sought medical help early on. Her situation is common; a 2023 study in Romania found that four out of ten couples trying to conceive for one to five years face difficulties. Common causes include tubal issues or reduced ovarian reserve in women, and spermogram problems in men. The article highlights international perspectives: in Austria, every fourth couple faces fertility issues, while in Spain, 10-17% of couples struggle with infertility between the ages of 20 and 45. Monica eventually conceived after nine years through IVF, which she initially funded herself at a cost of 7,000 euros, but later received a free procedure via a Facebook contest. She successfully had another child six years later using a frozen embryo, benefiting from state vouchers that were beginning to be offered in Romania. The text also provides statistics on births resulting from assisted reproductive technologies across Romania, Spain, Italy, and Austria.
