After today's show, I'm going to go do three transfers.

And I would not be surprised if next week I'm calling them all with positive results.

Now, of course, there are still challenges.

But we've come a long way in such a short period of time.

And that, to me, is fascinating, even from a scientific standpoint, to see those types of advancements happening at breakneck speed.

I think it's actually breakthroughs in the lab.

A lot of people don't realize how important the IVF laboratory, the techniques, and all of the advancements are.

And we started out doing this miraculous thing, IVF, which was such a medical breakthrough, but we weren't very good at it.

So we had to put back multiple embryos at a time into a woman's uterus.
