What is In Vitro Fertilisation, or IVF?

In vitro fertilisation is an assisted reproduction technique that consists of retrieving the woman’s eggs through ovarian puncture and fertilising them in the laboratory with sperm from the partner or a donor. The resulting embryos are cultured in a controlled environment, monitoring their development until the optimal moment for transfer to the uterus.

In Vitro Fertilisation at our centre in Seville

Inyección Intracitoplasmática de Espermatozoides (ICSI en Sevilla): Es la técnica recomendada en la mayoría de los casos de infertilidad. Se introduce un espermatozoide seleccionado previamente en el interior del óvulo mediante microinyección, maximizando las probabilidades de éxito frente a factores masculinos severos o fallos previos.

Innovation and advanced techniques to optimise your cycle

To give your Life Project the greatest possible guarantees, in our laboratory at Hospital Santa Ángela de la Cruz we apply latest-generation technologies that complement IVF:

Superior sperm selection

We use systems such as Zymot and MACS to select sperm cells with low DNA fragmentation and high viability.

Continuous monitoring:

Thanks to the Time-Lapse system, Geri, we observe embryo development minute by minute without altering culture conditions.

Genetic diagnosis:

In selected cases, through PGT, we can analyse the embryo’s genetics before transfer in order to minimise the risk of transmitting a genetic disease.

Highly complex cases:

We have oocyte activation protocols for patients with recurrent fertilisation failure. Although this technique is still considered experimental, it is widely used in clinical practice with very good results.

The step-by-step process

From the first diagnostic visit, we design a tailored plan:

Ovarian stimulation

This consists of hormonal treatment lasting around 10 to 14 days, with the aim of achieving adequate follicular growth before ovarian puncture. It is closely monitored by our team of gynaecologists through ultrasound and blood tests.

Ovarian puncture in a surgical environment

Performed under sedation at Hospital Santa Ángela de la Cruz, guaranteeing maximum comfort and medical safety.

Incubation and culture

We monitor embryo development, or embryogenesis, in incubators that recreate the optimal conditions of the maternal body, using latest-generation Time-Lapse incubators.

Embryo transfer

This is a very well-tolerated process in which we place the embryo in the uterus, which has previously been prepared and synchronised in order to achieve the highest possible chances of success.

When is IVF recommended?

Our experts especially recommend in vitro fertilisation in cases such as:

Unsuccessful attempts to achieve pregnancy naturally, assessing each case in a personalised way

Endometriosis or tubal factor infertility

Moderate or severe male infertility

Previous failures in lower-complexity treatments such as artificial insemination

Single mothers and female same-sex couples who do not wish to undergo artificial insemination or for whom it has not worked previously. In these patients, the ROPA method may be considered as an alternative to conventional IVF
