Love gives us life. An abstract impulse that makes us give everything for the person you love. As Katharine Hepburn defines in the book ‘Me: Stories of My Life’, ‘love has nothing to do with what you hope to get, but with what you hope to give, which is everything’. And if we are talking about true love, there is none more transparent and sincere than that which is given to a child. Therefore, the purest love cannot be understood without reference to the family, for as Papa Juan XXIII, ‘the family is the first essential cell of human society’.
Forming a family is for many couples the main goal. A dream that, on this Valentine’s Day, becomes even more meaningful and hopeful. However, the road to motherhood is not always easy. Worldwide, one in six people face fertility problems. It is assisted reproduction that helps thousands of people every year to fulfil the greatest token of love there is, to start a family.
Thanks to technological and scientific advances in the field of assisted reproduction, there are multiple options, all of them adapted to the specific needs of each patient. Programmes such as In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), Embryo Donation or Ovodonation have allowed thousands of couples from all corners of the world to fulfil their desire to bring a life into the world.
Each test overcome, each positive result, are small steps towards the materialisation of an immense love: that of future parents who have not lost faith. Parents who, overcoming all kinds of adversity and demonstrating courage and effort, overcome the barrier of infertility in order to fulfil their life’s goal.
The most valuable gift on Valentine’s Day
On Valentine’s Day, many symbolic gifts are given between couples. Flowers, letters and romantic dinners are some of the most frequent gifts on this day. In contrast, for those who go down the path of assisted reproduction, the greatest gift is not material, but sentimental. This is no more -and no less- than hope. Because the wait may be long, sometimes harder than usual or with certain obstacles, but every attempt, every step, is a reminder of the deep and unconditional love that drives couples to continue forward.
Valentine’s Day and multiplying love
Valentine’s Day not only celebrates the love and life between two people, but also the strength that unites them in the most difficult moments. For many couples, this day is a reaffirmation that love is not only expressed in words, but in every effort to build a future together. And what greater proof of love than to desire and strive for the arrival of a child.
On this special date, let us remember that love is not only lived, but can also give life. Therefore, if you are thinking of opting for the path of assisted reproduction, we at Ovoclinic encourage you to visit our clinics and find out about all the programmes and guarantees we offer so that you can fulfil your desire to form a family.
