Source review

The sources cited are academic journals or reliable newspapers.
Why is Orbach (2018) to be regarded as a reliable source?
- Removed
Add ISSN to each source.
Fix reference 13 (Johnson 2015). Borsoka (talk) 03:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
Some sources are cited in section "Sources", while others are mentioned only as citation. Why? For instance, Halliday (2019) and Orbach (2018) are cited multiple times, but they are not listed among the sources.
- Corrected this
Delete the lengthy quotes from the citations to avoid possible copyvio. Borsoka (talk) 03:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Purdy was portrayed by Thomasin McKenzie in the 2024 biographical drama film Joy, which similarly follows the development of IVF. I would rephrase because after the previous sentence, the introduction of this sentence is a surprise.
