Assisted reproduction
Since the first IVF baby was born in 1978, countless tests have been developed, both diagnostic and treatment. In this section you will find in detail the advances that have allowed the birth of millions of children in the world.
Unraveling the mysteries of ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection)
We’re dedicating this Instituto Bernabeu forum topic to a very common technique used in the human reproduction laboratory: ICSI or Intracytoplasmic sperm injection. We have prepared this explicative video on the topic, in which Dr. […]
PGD /PGTA Array-CGH: Discovering the miracles of the embryo
New technologies are making extraordinary progress in fertility diagnostics. One of the latest advances incorporated into the range of diagnostic techniques is called array-CGH. This genetic test allows us to analyze our cells’ DNA to […]
Indications of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a new technique used in Reproductive Medicine and is one of the main sources of innovation and research. PGD allows embryos to be selected from assisted reproduction cycles and tested […]
Blastocyst, advantages of a transfer on day 4 or 5
When we perform an assisted reproduction cycle, we try to optimise the results as much as possible. Currently, the most physiological way of achieving this is with an embryo culture that reaches the blastocyst stage.
A patient with low response to the ovarian stimulation for IVF is probably the most significant challenge faced by professionals treating couples with fertility problems.
IB implantation failure and repeated miscarriage unit
At Instituto Bernabeu, we have developed a specific programme with protocols designed to treat repeated miscarriages and unsuccessful assisted reproduction treatments through the multidisciplinary approach that allows us to diagnose and therefore overcome these problems.
Embryo vitrification: when and how?
A good embryo freezing programme is essential when trying to increase the chances of pregnancy in couples who undergo assisted reproduction techniques. Over the last few years, we have observed a significant increase in thawing cycles with posterior embryo transfer […]
Diagnostic hysteroscopy is a technique that is offered at Instituto Bernabeu on an outpatient basis, providing a diagnosis without causing any major discomfort to the patient as it eliminates the need for bed rest, anaesthesia […]
Differences between Artificial Insemination and In Vitro Fertilisation
Artificial insemination is a simple technique carried out on couples with specific fertility problems. The ideal candidate would be a young woman with permeable fallopian tubes, less than 3 years of sterility and a male […]
Importance of endometrial thickness in Assisted Reproduction treatments
Given the essential role of the endometrial receptivity in the success of any Assisted Reproduction treatment (In Vitro Fertilisation, frozen embryo transfers (CT) or egg donation cycles), the uterus’ capacity to “accept” the embryo must […]
