What will my egg donor be like?

Although hardly anyone would openly admit it, all women who have to rely on egg donation want to know as much as possible about their donor. In some European countries, such as Finland, the Netherlands, the UK and, more recently, Portugal, this information is available. In Spain, however, the current law on assisted reproduction stipulates that gamete donation must be completely anonymous and that a medical team must match the patient with the most similar donor from among the available options. But how is this “matching” done? What makes the medical team choose one candidate over another? How is...

If you have a partner, parenthood should be a shared project, although in practice this is not always the case.

This will allow them to support each other throughout...

Pregnancy loss is quite common. It is estimated that about 10% to 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, although the actual figure may be higher as miscarriages often occur even before the pregnancy is known.  In most cases, the cause of pregnancy loss is embryonic: the embryo does not develop properly or is non-viable, leading to the woman’s body ending the pregnancy naturally.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is not a fertility problem per se, but it can lead to irregular cycles or a lack of ovulation. It is caused by an imbalance in the hormones responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle, resulting in impaired ovulation, which can make it more difficult to become pregnant.  In addition, it is a multifactorial disorder that can lead to the development of diabetes and obesity, two health issues that also have a negative impact on fertility and can have repercussions on a woman’s potential pregnancy and overall health. However, not all women who suffer from it...
