First ‘Viagra baby’ turns 10 years old

Doctor Geoffrey Sher, from The Sher Institute, was the pioneer to use Viagra to help a woman conceive. Rene Danford had been trying to conceive for several years and had been through several unsuccessful IVF treatments at a fertility clinic that advised her that she would never be able to carry her own baby because her uterine lining was too thin to support implantation of an embryo.

Doctor Sher gave her Viagra suppositories to increase the blood flow in her uterus which would then thicken her lining. In conjunction with IVF, she was able to conceive this way and went on to have a successful pregnancy. She also had a second child 2 years later using this same method.

    Hey that’s a great idea! I had no idea Viagra could do that. I’m going to have to suggest it to anyone I know who’s having lining trouble. Sooooo cool!

    Just tip. Me over. Pour me out.

    Maybe Mel should have been more specific?
