Once the doctor has made a diagnosis, your IVF treatment starts with a controlled […]
There are going to be many important moments throughout the course of your in Vitro Fertilisation treatment.

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 […]
