Useful information
At IVF-Life Donostia, we perform comprehensive treatments dedicated to women's reproductive health, from menarche to menopause and even in postmenopausal age. In our center, we offer general and specific gynecological consultation services to address problems related to the menopausal stage, as well as for early diagnosis of genital cancer and breast cancer.
These services allow us to fulfill our commitment to women's health, providing women with a unit specifically dedicated to their care. Consult our gynecology and obstetrics services.
In the first fertility consultation at our Donostia clinic, we will perform the necessary diagnostic tests for both the woman and the man, consisting of blood tests, ultrasounds, and evaluation of medical history.
Based on the diagnosis resulting from the tests, our fertility specialists will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include techniques such as in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination.
Once the treatment plan is established, we will carry out the necessary steps such as ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer, as appropriate for the indicated treatment.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) in Donostia is an assisted reproduction treatment in which we carry out controlled ovarian stimulation to obtain multiple quality eggs, which are extracted in our operating room through an ovarian puncture.
Later, the eggs are fertilized in our laboratory with sperm from the partner or an anonymous donor. The resulting embryos are cultured for a few days to later select one or more to transfer to the woman's uterus, with the aim of achieving the desired pregnancy.
Artificial insemination in Donostia is an assisted reproduction procedure during which sperm, previously prepared in our laboratory, are inserted into the mother's uterus at the time of ovulation.
The goal is for the egg and sperm to meet, thus increasing the chances of pregnancy. It is a less invasive procedure than IVF and can be a suitable option for certain couples or single women who want to have a child.
Egg donation in Donostia is an assisted reproduction treatment in which we perform an IVF treatment with donor eggs and sperm from the partner or a donor.
The egg donation or IVF treatment with donated eggs lasts approximately two months. During this time, we will perform ovarian stimulation of the donor, follicular puncture, fertilization with sperm from an anonymous donor or the partner, embryo culture, and endometrial preparation to finally perform the embryo transfer.
The ROPA method in Donostia is an assisted reproduction treatment for female couples. In this treatment, we perform ovarian stimulation on one of them (the genetic mother), who will provide the eggs so that her partner can gestate and give birth to the baby (gestational mother).
Later, the eggs are fertilized in our laboratory with sperm from a donor. The resulting embryos are cultured for a few days and then one or more are selected to be transferred to the uterus of the other woman in the couple, with the aim of achieving a pregnancy.
The woman's age, the quality of eggs and sperm, the underlying cause of infertility, the general health of the couple, the experience and competence of the assisted reproduction center, as well as the patients' compliance with the treatment can be factors that may influence the success rate of our fertility treatments in Donostia.
The comprehensive approach of our specialists, the appropriate selection of the assisted reproduction technique, and continuous medical monitoring are crucial to maximize the chances of success.
