Here is how we take care of your frozen embryos

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...

How to deal with an unsuccessful fertility treatment

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.

Success rates in assisted reproduction treatment: What are they and what do they mean?

Success rates are percentages that show the chances of getting a pregnancy offered by different assisted reproduction treatments. They can vary depending on each centre and on the technique, but, in general, high values indicate that the centre works efficiently and offers good results. Nevertheless, to interpret them correctly, you have to “read the fine print” and take into account what exactly they refer to, since each centre can present them in the way that best suits them and, therefore, they are not always comparable. In this post, Dr. Buenaventura Coroleu, a consultant of Dexeus Mujer’s Reproductive Medicine Service,...

Embryo donation answers to frequent questions

The reception of donated embryos is an assisted reproduction treatment that has many advantages: it is much faster and more comfortable, it saves intermediate diagnostic tests, and its cost is lower than that of most of the usual treatments, such as in vitro fertilization or egg donation. But it is an option that is rarely considered at first, since most women and couples who wish to be mothers and fathers want, if possible, to use their own eggs and sperm. However, in many cases it is the best option, or even the only one. It is normally indicated in...
