Just to let you know- our baby daughter was born on 25th January at 14:17,weighing 3050g. We’ll forever be grateful to you, Dra Bernabeu and the team for making thismiracle happen for us.

I am writing to tell you that our little one is already with us.

V. was born on 07/08 and we are both doing very well.

We wanted to thank all the team, but above all you, for your understanding in every step of the way and every moment of this long journey.

I am very grateful for your patience every time I had a doubt or fear (which were not few).

Thank you for making our dream come true.

We would like to thank Dr Herencia and send warm wishes to Dr Bernabeu who believed in this possibility.

We also want to thank you, Ana. From the very beginning, you have guided us on this difficult journey with a level of affection and professionalism that we will never forget.

All the best.

Dear Nicole,

Thank you for all your help over the last few weeks and today.

Feel very grateful for all the doctors and everyone involved.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks S.

Dear Lucía,

It was a real pleasure to meet you on Tuesday during the transfer. You were very courteous and professional.

All the staff, especially Dr de la Torre, were excellent.

I thank you all for the reception and professionalism you showed. I felt attended to and cared for with dedication at all times.

Thanks for everything and see you soon!

M.

And all thanks to you, to your institution, to your staff, to your wonderful doctors, to your fantastic and very professional care, to your knowledge and experience.

Thank you so much!!! You have made us immensely happy; May God bless you and help you to continue your wonderful work.

Hello Nuria,

I’m E’s mother. What a simple sentence and what a joy to have been able to make it come true.  

I don’t know if you remember us because I know you take care of hundreds of couples, but obviously… my partner and above all me, remember you. We remember you, Dr Bernabeu, the appointments for tests, the transfer, the beta…. There were many entrances and exits through that glass door, thinking that I would end up crossing one day with my baby inside, and indeed I did. Nine months later the best gift in the world arrived, a little angel from heaven called E.

He was born the exact day you gave as probable due date, he was as obedient and punctual as clockwork, after all, every time you gave me a date for the next step you hit the nail on the head! It was a respectful, euphoric and very beautiful birth, a day I will never forget.

And now, a month after his birth and with the issue of breastfeeding, sleep, etc. a little more regulated, I take this opportunity to write to you because I would like to thank the whole team and mostly Dr Bernabeu for everything you did for us. Thanks to this, today we are parents ❤️

Our baby daughter was born on 29th July at 39w. She is a dream come true and we are besotted with her. Contacting IB last July is the best thing we ever did on this journey to baby!

Thank you so much to Dr. Castillo for listening to us and customising a treatment plan so perfectly and expertly doing the transfer and to both of you for your service, care and compassion. We felt so cared for and a genuine sense that you really wanted success for us.

Ania, You were there for me at every stage through the process and reassured me during the difficult time of not getting the embryo count we thought we would, and also during the bleed at 5weeks. You told me to have faith it could still work and your were right.

I still keep having “pinch me” moments that we have completed our family and have this beautiful daughter!

Hello dear Nicole and dear Dr Castillo,

With great joy, we’ll like to inform you that our daughter just arrived. She’s beautiful and we’re delighted with her from the first moment. She’s our miracle and we owe it to you and specially, to Dr Castillo.

We would like to take this opportunity to praise Dr Castillo’s approach in the highest terms. He was the only doctor of all, and we had consulted many doctors, who listened to us very carefully and treated our initial physical conditions excellently (endometriosis, adenomyosis, severe implantation problems and problems on my husband’s side, which led to years of failed attempts in Germany).

Before Dr Castillo started the donation, he had us do many preliminary examinations, which were also necessary, as we had to prepare my body with medication for months, especially in relation to my implantation problems. This shows competence, experience and simply a sense of what is called vocation.

Dr Castillo took us and our fears seriously, and this cannot be taken for granted. We would make the same decision again at any time.

It is also important to us that you know our daughter is receiving a lot of love from us and our extended family. She will be fine with us. She will have a great warm and loving home.

Dear Nicole, many thanks to you too for responding so quickly at any time, really at any time. You went out of your way to answer all our questions very accurately. We never had to wait long for an answer from you. You were very reliable. Your translation service was also impeccable. You were able to put into words and translate everything that touched us. Thank you.

Thanks to your institution we can hold our daughter in our arms!

Warm Regards

Dear Ania

The baby was born on 27 June 2022 ie at 36 weeks and 4 days pregnancy. He spent about 5 days at the special care unit under photo therapy ie UV lights at the hospital here in Isle of Man due to jaundice.

We are extremely grateful to the IB team for our miracle baby. It has been a long journey for us to get S. pregnant and we are delighted that the ivf procedure worked first time at the IB clinic.

Please pass our heartfelt thanks to Dr Juan Carlos Castillo and team.

We also thank you for all your patience with us supporting us and answering our queries etc.

We hope to bring baby in Alicante at the clinic for a visit when he gets a bit older.

Many thanks

Hi dear Nicole and dear Dr Castillo,

It is a pleasure for us to inform you that our daughter was born last 5^th of July 2022. She’s beautiful and we’re delighted with her from the beginning. She’s our little miracle, thanks to you and mostly, Dr Castillo.

We would like to take this email to praise Dr Castillo’s approach in the best possible terms. He was the only doctor, out of all those we had consulted, who listened to us very carefully and treated our initial physical conditions perfectly. Before starting the donation, he had us undergo many preliminary examinations, which were also necessary because my body had to be prepared with medication for months. This shows competence, experience and simply a sense of what is called vocation.

Dr Castillo took us and our fears seriously. That cannot be taken for granted. We would make the same decision again at any time.

It is also important to us that you know that M. receives a lot of love from us and our big family. She will be fine with us. She will have a great warm and loving home.

Dear Nicole, also a big thank you to you for always, really always, responding so quickly. You went out of your way to answer all our questions very accurately. We never had to wait long for an answer from you. You are very reliable. Your translation service was also impeccable. You were able to put into words and translate everything that touched us. Thank you.

We are immensely grateful for all the love, professionalism and support you have given us throughout the whole process.

Thanks to you we have the most beautiful thing in our lives.

With all our love and from the heart.

I would love to tell you that Dr Bernabeu has made me very very happy, I have never been so happy in my life.

Thank you very much to all of you who have helped us throughout the whole process.

Who knows, we might meet again to repeat 😊😊😊😊😊

Again, thank you so much for everything !!!!”

Our experience with you in Venice was very thoughtful, as you know we come from a long journey in which we have been treated by private and public clinics.

At the beginning, the contact with Dr Cirilo was crucial to give us a last chance.

We found you to be very friendly and welcoming, but at the same time professional. The attention given to us by the whole team was what we needed. We did not feel like “numbers”, as we did in other clinics, but like people with specific and individual needs, fears and pecularities.

In this respect we hope that you will never change, even if your patients grow… as we hope and as you deserve! In the beginning of next month we will do a prenatal diagnostic test for the baby, we will keep you informed!

We send a million kisses to Dr Moliner and the team at Bernabeu clinic!!! It’s been 4 months now and we couldn’t be happier and on top of that the baby is very good, sleepy and doesn’t cry, every day we remember her and the whole team very much, they treated us very well and with a tact and affection that we will never forget! She will always be in our hearts.

We wanted to let you know that we are one more at home. Just 10 days ago our little boy was born, at 38 weeks of gestation.

In the end it was a programmed induction delivery due to a gestational hepatic cholestasis. It has been a pregnancy full of complications so we have not been able to go to the clinic as often as we would have liked, but in the end the birth went very well and the little one was born with 2,950 grams and 50 cm long.

We send you a big kiss and, as we have already been able to tell you at different occasions, the best decision of our life was to call Instituto Bernabeu Alicante (despite the distance) and put in your hands the problem we had just been diagnosed with.

We hope that the four of us will come and visit you soon.

Thank you !!!!

A little head, a little nose, ten cute toes, a baby so sweet to look at. A little mouth to suckle, soft silky hair, two wondering eyes, a dream come true.

Thanks for our miracle! With love.

Hello Nuria, good morning! I’m writing to you today, since yesterday afternoon we went to a consultation to see the baby’s first ultrasound and… Guess! She has a super pulse and everything is great! 🙂 The truth is that it was an incredible moment to see how well everything has gone, and the result, after all the past and three years waiting for it, is something incredible … what happiness!

And from the bottom of my heart I wanted, well, we wanted to thank the whole team but especially Dr. Bernabeu and you for everything you have done for us, for helping us at all times, for the complete availability every time there are doubts. could arise, for your professionalism, but above all for your humane treatment, your quality as people, always welcoming and trustworthy.

Yesterday (I have to admit that I am a bit sensitive … hehehe) but before entering the consultation, when crossing the reception I already felt a flurry of memories of all the times I have been in these months and above all, of the first date, that first day in which you were so expectant about what they would tell us, what they recommend us, our options and if everything would go well after so long looking for that dream (which is something very natural and precious, but when does not arrive becomes a ” nightmare ”) … and the truth is that looking back yesterday I was surprised at how fast everything had been, how well we have jumped the obstacles that at first seemed huge hurdles (which If you gather the savings, that if the punctures, that if you try to be relaxed so that everything flowed, etc. lol, finally, a cluster of circumstances that you now look at with affection but at that time they seemed to me). Well, for all this yesterday when Dr. Andrea Bernabeu discharged us, I was saddened, I hugged her and even got emotional, because this phase was already … over, great things will come from now on, but it is true that I will always save the feeling that this miracle has been possible thanks to you and you will always be part of it.

So with all my heart, thank you very much. You make a great team and I am sure I am not speaking for myself when I thank you for your work and dedication to make possible the dream of so many people who want to be moms.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We are really very happy with the way things have been going. 

We are very grateful for all your professionalism and support in this process. Your guidance was always very clear and we felt your accompaniment during all this time. Your work, warmth and kindness are fundamental and necessary to be able to cope with this situation in a better way. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.

Especial thanks to Dr Andrea Bernabeu, our admiration, respect and esteem. She is a great medical professional and her knowledge and experience has allowed us to reach this point. Likewise, to Dr Rafael Bernabeu and the doctor embryologist who attended us and to the whole team of scientists who make possible this noble work of helping those of us who suffer from this sad disease of infertility.

Also to Cristina, the girls at the reception desk and all the staff at Instituto Bernabeu, one of the best places in Spain, without a doubt.

Dear doctor and the entire Instituto Bernabeu team,

With deep joy and gratitude, we inform you that our son was born on April 30th.

Many heartfelt thanks to all of you for all you did to make our dream come true! Forever in our hearts!

I reiterate my warmest congratulations to the entire IB team who have contributed effort, knowledge, science and tenacity to finally become a leading part of our lives.
