Donald Trump, declaring himself a champion of IVF during his 2024 campaign, faces challenges as his White House is retreating from this commitment.

Additionally, White House officials are considering the idea of 'restorative reproductive medicine,' which emphasizes improving women's overall health instead of directly addressing infertility through IVF.
