IVF in Spain

The IVF process in Spain begins with a series of medical tests to determine the causes of infertility. These evaluations, which can be carried out in specialized clinics throughout the country, are essential to design a personalized treatment. Once the causes are identified, ovarian stimulation proceeds, where the woman receives medication to promote the maturation of multiple eggs.

After stimulation, an egg retrieval is performed to extract the mature eggs. This procedure, carried out under sedation and with ultrasound control, lasts between ten and fifteen minutes. The extracted eggs are fertilized in the laboratory with the partner’s semen or a donor’s, as appropriate. The resulting embryos are cultured until they reach the blastocyst stage, at which point the best quality ones are selected for transfer to the uterus.

In Spain, there are various options for IVF, tailored to the specific needs of each couple. One of them is egg donation, which is used when the woman’s eggs are not viable. In this case, eggs donated by young and healthy women are used. It is important to note that, in Spain, egg donation is anonymous and regulated by the Assisted Reproduction Law, ensuring a safe process for both the donor and the recipient.

The R.O.P.A technique (reception of partner’s eggs), designed for female couples. In this procedure, one of the women provides the egg, which is fertilized with donor semen, and the other carries out the gestation, allowing both to participate actively in the motherhood process.

The cost of IVF in Spain can vary depending on the clinic and the type of treatment required. Medtravelfertility offers IVF/ICSI packages at affordable prices, combining quality and good value. These packages include pre-treatment visits, ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, laboratory processes, embryo culture and selection, and embryo transfer.

The approximate length of stay in Spain for IVF is ten days.
