A lot is said about the age of the female and how it relates to fertility, but little about how the age of the male impacts fertility when it comes to trying to conceive. As you have likely read in previous blog posts, you will not be surprised when we tell you that female fertility […]
Almost all couples who start trying to get pregnant ask themselves the same question: How long will it take? Or, at what point should I go to an assisted reproduction clinic if I don’t conceive naturally? These are questions that couples will start to ask themselves over and over as the months go by and […]
It is clear that assisted reproduction techniques have revolutionised reproductive medicine, as demonstrated by both the Nobel Prize awarded to Robert Edwards for the birth of the world’s first test‑tube baby in 1978, as well as the more than 8 million children brought into this world thanks to in vitro fertilisation since then. But assisted […]
The testicular biopsy is one of the surgical procedures that we perform at URE Centro Gutenberg on males whose semen samples from ejaculate do not contain spermatozoids. With this in mind, and as you may imagine, the purpose of this procedure is to obtain spermatozoids to be used for in vitro fertilisation with ICSI regardless […]

The development of the vitrification (i.e. ultra‑rapid freezing) technique for embryo freezing has been the most important contributing factor in terms of improving the results and safety of in vitro fertilisation over the last decade. As a result of the development of this technique, there has been a large increase in the number of frozen […]
In vitro fertilisation treatment involves the extraction of eggs from the female’s ovaries so that they can be joined together with spermatozoids in the laboratory. IVF treatment is normally recommended to patients who have already had unsuccessful outcomes following cycles of artificial insemination, possibly due to an unexplained cause of infertility or sterility, absent or […]
As we’ve mentioned on other occasions, the male partner also plays a fundamental role in assisted reproduction as having children obviously requires two people. That’s why today we want to talk to you about what the male fertility study is and what tests are included in it. Infertility affects between 15% and 20% of couples […]
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment includes several very important moments and one of the most important is the embryo transfer.
