When can I find out how many of my ova have fertilised?
Ova and spermatozoa are needed in order to be able to perform in vitro fertilisation treatment. They are taken to the in vitro fertilisation laboratory so that, once they have been appropriately prepared, they can be joined […]
Rh incompatibility: could it affect my baby during pregnancy?
A person’s blood group is determined by a number of proteins that are found on the surface of red blood cells. There are 4 main blood groups depending on if these proteins are present or […]
My personal choice to use artificial insemination and become a single mother
I’m not very old but I’m not young enough to just let time go by. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now. I’ve always wanted to have children. It’s not something I […]
What tests do I need to have before in vitro fertilisation treatment (IVF)?
In vitro fertilisationis a procedure that is carried out in an embryology laboratory with the aim of obtaining embryos using female gametes (ova) and male gametes (spermatozoa). The ova and spermatozoa can be retrieved from the patients […]
What is embryo collapse? Does it affect how the embryo implants?
The embryo culture in the blastocyst stage and the use of time-lapse incubators has enabled us to observe certain events that occur during the embryonic development up until day 5/6. 3 different parts can be distinguished in the blastocyst: […]
Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) is no longer a crystal ball
Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) is used in reproductive medicine as an ovarian reserve marker. This hormone is detected using a simple blood analysis and, in conjunction with a follicle count ultrasound scan on the ovaries, it helps us to […]
What is the impact of vitrification on biopsied blastocysts?
Selecting healthy and viable embryos is increasingly important in the field of assisted reproduction. The selection is made using pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) which consists of analysing some of the cells in the embryo and determining […]
Is it better cryopreservation of the ovarian cortex than freezing ova?
Índice1 What is cryopreservation of the ovarian cortex?2 When should this type of treatment be used?3 How is the ovarian cortex cryopreserved?4 What are the advantages of cryopreserving the ovarian cortex? What is cryopreservation of […]
Why hasn’t my assisted reproduction treatment worked?
The miracle of conception involves an intimate union between the ova and spermatozoon, appropriate evolution of the fertilised embryo and, furthermore, an ideal environment inside the uterus so that implantation can take place. Whilst this process might seem simple, […]
Absent uterus or Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome: what can I do?
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome – or simply MRKH syndrome – is a congenital disorder (birth defect), the main characteristic of which is that the women who suffer from it do not have a uterus. The cause of this infrequent […]
