In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment that involves collecting mature eggs from the woman’s ovaries so that they can be fertilized with sperm in the laboratory. This treatment is often recommended for couples who have not achieved pregnancy through artificial insemination, or in cases of unexplained infertility, blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, endometriosis, […]
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.
