Why Spain?

• Spain continues to be the most chosen country to carry out an assisted reproduction techniques and that is due to the high quality and success of the treatments.
• For the excellent professionals who are exclusively dedicated to assisted reproduction in Spain, as well as for the magnificent quality-price ratio of the treatments and the natural attractiveness of the country, which allows the perfect combination of reproduction and tourism.
• Spanish legislation allows anonymous and altruistic donation of semen and eggs, and yet in countries such as: Germany, Sweden, United Kingdom, Austria, it is either prohibited or the donation is not anonymous, so many couples decide to come to Spain to undergo assisted reproduction treatments with sperm and eggs donors.

All this has made Spain one of the leading countries in Europe (EU) in assisted reproduction treatments, both using woman´s own eggs and with donor eggs.

Why egg donation?

Egg donation is an assisted reproductive treatment using donor eggs.

It is carried out when it is not possible to use women´s own eggs for various reasons, such as age, low ovarian reserve, cancer and chemotherapy, genetic problems, not obtaining good quality pre-embryos in in vitro fertilization due to a female factor, etc.

A fundamental factor during the egg donation process is the team of professionals, who accompany patients throughout the process.

It is very important to have the support of a team dedicated to EACH PATIENT, in each step of their treatment; as well as a stress-free environment.

Estos son los pasos

When a woman seeks pregnancy through egg donation, the following steps are followed:

• Fertilization: the donor’s eggs are fertilized with sperm from the partner or from an anonymous donor. Fertilization can be performed conventionally or through ICSI (intracytoplasmic microinjection).

• Endometrial preparation: the recipient will be administered hormonal medication (estrogens and progesterone) orally, vaginally or in patches. These drugs are intended to ensure that your endometrium acquires the optimal appearance for the implantation of the embryos.

This treatment will last an average of 10 days approximately and will require ultrasound controls. In your case, this preparation would be carried out in your country with your local gynecologist, who may be in contact with our medical team to follow up and advise you, if necessary.

• Embryo transfer: when our medical team verifies by transvaginal ultrasound that the endometrium has a trilaminar appearance and a thickness of between 7 and 10 mm, the embryos are transferred.

It is generally performed without anesthesia, as it is a simple and painless procedure in which the embryos are deposited in the uterine cavity, waiting for them to implant and start the pregnancy. It does not require special care, but 1 to 2 days of rest.
