Two mums
Are you thinking about having a baby?
If you and your partner are considering having a baby, at at Dexeus Mujer e offer you a specialised medical team that will inform you of all the options offered by reproductive medicine for female couples, and we have specific treatments available if you both want to share the experience of motherhood, such as receiving your partner’s eggs (ROPA), which allows one of you to donate the eggs and the other to carry out the gestation.
Our treatments
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technique which consists of harvesting the patient’s eggs and fertilising them with her partner’s sperm (or donor sperm) in the lab.
Artificial insemination is an assisted reproduction technique whereby contact between the egg and sperm is facilitated by depositing the semen in the woman’s uterus.
This is a variant of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), where one of you undergoes ovarian stimulation to extract her eggs and fertilise them, and the other receives the embryo in her uterus and carries out the pregnancy. In this way, both of you actively participate in the pregnancy.
Marta and Paula, Barcelona
“Paula and I met five years ago and we were both very clear about wanting to be mothers. But we started to think seriously about it a year ago, when I turned 38. She is younger and we thought it would be best for her to gestate the baby, but when they told us that we could both participate through the Reciprocal IVF method, we thought it was fantastic and decided that she would donate the oocytes and I would carry the baby. We wanted the clinic to be somewhere we could trust and which also had experience. So we decided on Dexeus Mujer. But we were also treated very warmly and felt very much accompanied, which helped a great deal. I’m almost 22 weeks now and people who see us together always ask “You’re pregnant? And you’re both the biological mothers? But how is that possible?” The name of the method is not that well known but everyone understands it when you explain it to them. The only downside is that, for legal reasons, you have to be married to do it, but that wasn’t a problem for us.”
