The freezing of embryos by vitrification, or ultra‑rapid freezing, is one of the assisted reproduction techniques we perform at URE Centro Gutenberg. It’s a very useful procedure as it allows us to preserve the embryos that aren’t going to be transferred in the same cycle. This may be because there are additional embryos remaining after […]
Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, we’ve launched an emergency plan at URE Centro Gutenberg. Its purpose is to reduce, to the extent possible, the impact of the pandemic on our patients. With this plan we are also hoping to minimise possible adverse effects on assisted reproduction treatments. As part of our strategy, all patients […]

At the same time, the average number of children that women are having has dropped 0.06 points. In 2008, the average was around 1.44 children per woman, while a […]
Vitrification is a rapid freezing technique for eggs and embryos. It involves subjecting them to a sudden drop in temperature, to negative 196 degrees Celsius, in a liquid nitrogen tank. With this freezing technique no damage is caused to the egg or the cells of the embryo, and it’s a process we carry out on […]

About how it affects women and infertility, and what assisted reproduction treatments exist in these cases. As you already know, a female’s ovaries have reproductive and hormonal functions. They are responsible for ovulation and are […]
Male infertility represents 40% of infertility cases that look to assisted reproduction clinics, such as our fertility clinic in Spain, for help. And, of these cases, 15% have azoospermia. Azoospermia is a semen abnormality characterised by the total absence of spermatozoids in the ejaculate. This absence of sperm may occur if the testicles do not […]

The traditional family model in the Western world consisting of a father, mother and their children has expanded greatly in recent years to include single-parent families, children from different parents, adopted children and same‑sex couples. Assisted reproduction clinics have also evolved, and that is why we want to talk to you about the ROPA method. Currently, fertility […]
The moment that all patients who undergo assisted reproduction treatment anxiously wait for has finally arrived. The last step before entering into the well-known phase called the “beta hcg wait”: the moment of the embryo transfer. The embryo transfer consists in depositing the embryo(s) obtained during culture inside the uterine cavity. It is a process […]
