My Infertility Journey

Ana MarΓ­a Roura and her husband, Sebastien, share their infertility journey, offering a vivid testimony of their experience with a condition that affects nearly one fifth of the global population.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Mundo journalist Ana MarΓ­a Roura and her husband, Sebastien JesΓΊs, share their personal journey of attempting to become parents.
After receiving a diagnosis of infertility, the couple turns to in vitro fertilisation (IV), the most common technique in assisted reproduction.
They recorded their treatments for more than three years and filmed a sort of diary that helps the audience understand the process from a scientific perspective but also dig in the psychological impact of the treatments.

Ana MarΓ­a also shares her journey with other women going through the same experience. One of them is Laura, a very close friend who lives in Argentina, who achieved a successful pregnancy after eight years of fertility treatments.

Like Ana MarΓ­a and Sebastien and other characters in this film, millions of people worldwide confront infertility, which the World Health Organization has described as a 'global fertility crisis'. Despite its widespread impact, infertility remains a taboo subject in many societies.
