Fertility checklist

Most women take their fertility for granted from the moment they get their first period. But having your period is not a guarantee of fertility. To find out if everything is “working properly”, women need to undergo specific tests. You may never have thought about doing it, but it is definitely worth it, because if there is any problem, you will have more time to act, get information, make decisions and treat it. How can you find out? Well, it’s very simple. First, you should check your ovarian reserve. All you have to do is have a gynaecological ultrasound...

Why can’t I get pregnant again?

It is a known fact that there are people who have fertility problems and that, in 2 out of 3 cases, it is possible to find out the causes and provide a solution. But what about when you decide to go for a second child but you can’t get pregnant? Nobody expects this to happen.

What if i don’t respond well to ovarian stimulation?

Ovarian stimulation treatments aim to ensure that multiple follicles develop instead of just one or two, which is what usually occurs in a natural menstrual cycle. In IVF treatments, stimulation is used to provide enough oocytes to obtain at least one embryo suitable for transfer.

Each case is different, and the cause of poor ovarian response may also be different, so an individualised assessment is always necessary. In...

The mosaic embryo dilemma

If you have never heard of mosaic embryos, this term may come as a bit of a surprise. They are so-called because these embryos contain both normal cells and cells with chromosomal abnormalities. This is caused by an error during embryo cell division, which cannot be foreseen or prevented. The presence of chromosomal abnormalities in an embryo usually prevents implantation or causes a miscarriage because the embryo cannot continue to develop. More rarely, it can also give rise to certain conditions with different consequences: intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental delay, heart disease, functional problems, morphological alterations, etc. Therefore, when these are...

How does smoking affect fertility?

We play it down because it is a subject on which there is not much information and because despite being a bad habit, smoking is socially accepted. Therefore, hardly anyone thinks about it, not even before trying to conceive. However, in the case of sperm, many studies have confirmed that exposure to tobacco is harmful. In the case of women, as already mentioned, the relationship is not so obvious, but smoking has been shown to reduce fertilisation rates and increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy (implantation of the embryo outside the uterus), which poses a risk to the mother’s...
