LGBTQI+ reproductive rights: Spain, far ahead of Europe

Posted by | 14 Mar, 2022 | , | 0 |

This may come as a surprise to you, but although Europe is considered a model for the recognition of human rights, when it comes to fertility treatments, there are still a few European countries where there are many legal barriers that prevent single women and women with same-sex partners from accessing these treatments, not to mention trans and intersex people. In France, for example, it is only recently that, after a long debate, a law has been passed by the Parliament allowing fertility treatments for women without a male partner. Freezing one’s eggs to postpone motherhood for social reasons...

Maybe you do, or maybe you don’t. But, in any case, it is a subject that you —and all women— are surely interested in, as it provides key information for making decisions about motherhood, essential for those who do not rule out becoming a mother in the future. Your ovarian reserve is very easy to test, as all you need is a vaginal ultrasound and a blood test. In fact, you can ask for an ovarian reserve assessment at your annual gynaecological check-up. But before telling you how it is tested, it is important that you learn about some...

If you have frozen embryos, surely you would like to be able to watch through a peephole how they are being looked after in the laboratory: where they are being kept, how they are being handled, what systems are being used to identify and preserve them, or how they will be thawed when the time comes to use them. It is only natural. Your embryos are the result of a lot of work and effort, not to mention all the hopes and expectations you place in them. Furthermore, embryos are an extremely sensitive biological material. Taking care of something...

Assisted reproduction treatments have high success rates, but these rates are only statistical data. The circumstances of each person and each embryo are different in each attempt and treatment. Therefore, it is difficult to predict how the process will go exactly. In addition, many factors must be taken into account: the mother’s age, lifestyle and uterine receptivity, and the embryo’s own ability to implant and develop, even if it is of good quality. Even in egg donation treatments, where the egg donor is always a young woman, failures do occur. But even if we are aware of this, the...

Can eggs be rejuvenated?

It is well known that time affects the quality of our eggs and that their number naturally decreases. This process accelerates from the age of 35 and the mechanism behind it is not yet clear. However, it is thought that individual genetic factors may influence this, since not all women have the same quality of ovarian reserve and do not start menopause at the same time. For this reason, some researchers are trying to find out how to speed up or delay this process by studying possible genetic alterations, while others are trying to find out whether it is...
