The starring couple of this true story begins their testimony by explaining that, in their case, they found the viability of seeking reproductive advice when they faced the difficulty of having a baby naturally. They confess that adoption was in their plans, but before opting for it, they wanted to explore other options that would make them more involved in the process.
After a series of fertility treatments that, unfortunately, did not yield results, they found in IVF-Life Donostia the alternative to opt for egg donation.
This technique is a type of In vitro fertilisation recommended in cases where the woman shows signs of ovarian insufficiency, advanced maternal age – which, biologically speaking, starts from the age of 35 – or when IVF using one’s own eggs is not the most suitable choice.
This treatment, as the name suggests, requires using eggs from a donor who has been previously selected by the centre, ensuring that her altruistic act can help other women and couples to have a baby. Gamete donation procedures, coming eggs and sperm from healthy and young individuals who meet the standards set by our clinic, have a high success rate, a fact that our patients express having taken into account when making their final decision.
During the pleasant and honest conversation we had with Oiane and Izko, we wanted to ask them about the reasons that led them – and that may lead others – to choose IVF-Life Donostia to undergo fertility treatment.
The couple, with firmness, highlights two things. The first one is based on having achieved their goal of becoming parents, which makes the expectations they set when choosing us far exceeded. IVF-Life, over more than a decade of experience, has managed to have success rates above the national and European averages, combining quality, professionalism, science, and technology.
On the other hand, Oiane and Izko appreciate the close relationship that our team has provided them throughout their journey, and that detail, according to him, greatly facilitates the process, as all the professionals have made them feel at home.
“The closeness, feeling like family, being so well informed, knowing the reality of things. We have felt very good; otherwise, we wouldn’t say we’ve done it here. We want people to be encouraged to come here,” says Oiane.
Our patients, showing excitement and reaffirming how important it has been for them to now have their daughter, Mara, by their side, also want to take this moment to dedicate a few words to those who have not yet started their fertility treatment.
They emphasise the need for normalisation of assisted reproduction processes that have been taboo for years. Izko explains that conversations often come up that show that infertility is neither something to be ashamed of nor uncommon. “You realise that a lot of people are going through the same thing,” he says.
Furthermore, Oiane and Izko, far from associating Egg donation negative emotions, value the existence of such techniques, as it has ultimately led to the expansion of their family. According to Oiane, another woman donating her gametes does not imply a disconnection from her daughter, and she prefers to highlight the importance of pregnancy and parenting.
“Mara is ours, even though she doesn’t carry my egg,” says our patient.
