The end of the year is approaching and at HC Fertility we always like to take a little break to think and reflect on everything that has happened during the year that is coming to an end.

Discussing about assisted reproduction is becoming more common in many of the conversations we may have within our circle of friends and with our own families, and part of this is due to the fact that the number of couples and women who resort to clinics to achieve pregnancy is on the rise. Unlike a few years ago, when mentioning the impossibility of achieving pregnancy and having to resort to a specialist was almost a taboo subject, today it is becoming an increasingly normalized situation. As for the reasons behind this scenario and the reasons why many women do not achieve pregnancy naturally, there is no doubt that the age at which we seek pregnancy is the main factor contributing to this increase in the number of patients who resort to assisted reproduction clinics.

“If we undergo an IVF treatment when we are 40 using eggs that were frozen when we were 32, we will have the same chances of pregnancy as if we were still 32”.
