Overview
Infertility has always been emotionally distressing and a cause of social stigma for the woman involved. Many cultures had their own explanations and beliefs around infertility.

- The value of a woman was placed almost entirely on how fertile she was and how many children she could bear.
- The discourse around infertility changed from a religion-centric view to a scientific view after the discovery of spermatozoa and other advancements in modern medicine.[2]
Landmark events in the development of treatment stratergies
- Artificial insemination was first discovered by Lazzaro Spallanzani in Italy. His first experiment in artificial insemination was successfully performed on dogs.[3]
- The first successful case of artificial insemination in humans was performed by Dr. John Hunter, a Scottish surgeon. [4]
