Reproductive Health Advocate & Medical Communications Expert; First IVF Baby Born in the U.S.; Author of "Under the Microscope"
Elizabeth Jordan Carr Biography
Elizabeth Jordan Carr is recognized as the first baby born through in vitro fertilization in the United States and the 15th in the world. Her birth resulted from a procedure at Eastern Virginia Medical School, led by Drs. Howard and Georgeanna Jones, who established the first IVF program in the country. Carr's arrival drew significant media attention and sparked national conversation about reproductive medicine at a time when IVF was prohibited in Massachusetts.
Carr has built a career in journalism, focusing on public voice, communications, and translating complex medical and scientific issues for broad audiences. Her work includes contributions to The Boston Globe. Drawing from her personal experience and professional background, Carr has become a prominent advocate for fertility, infertility, and reproductive health. She has addressed audiences at the United Nations, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, and RESOLVE, the national infertility association.
Carr is the author of the memoir "Under the Microscope: The USA's First IVF Baby," co-authored with IVF historian Martin Powell. The book examines her life at the center of a scientific milestone and discusses the ongoing evolution of reproductive technology and fertility treatment. Carr is frequently invited to speak at healthcare conferences, corporate events, universities, and gatherings focused on assisted reproductive technologies.
Carr has participated in national policy discussions on reproductive rights, including meetings with senators and attendance at the State of the Union address as a guest of Sen. Tim Kaine, following an Alabama Supreme Court ruling affecting IVF access. She serves on the boards of AllPaths Family Building and Families Out Loud, organizations dedicated to supporting individuals and families using assisted reproductive technologies. Carr continues to engage with patients, healthcare professionals, executives, and policymakers, offering insight into reproductive medicine, fertility advocacy, and the impact of assisted reproductive technology.
