ROPA Method in Seville: a shared dream

At Viamed Fertility Institute, we know that motherhood between two women is a journey full of hope and commitment. The ROPA Method is not just an assisted reproduction treatment; it is the opportunity for both of you to be physically and emotionally involved in the arrival of your baby.

Located in Viamed Hospital Santa Ángela de la Cruz, we offer an environment of complete privacy and safety, where your dream of building a family becomes our purpose.

What does the ROPA Method involve?

The ROPA Method, which stands for Reception of Oocytes from Partner, is a form of In Vitro Fertilisation designed for female same-sex couples. The process is shared between both women:

Egg-providing mother

She undergoes ovarian stimulation to provide the eggs.

Gestational mother:

She receives the embryo in her uterus and carries the pregnancy and birth.

At our clinic in Seville, this process is carried out with the support of a large team of professionals, ensuring that every stage is experienced with the reassurance and closeness your family deserves.

Who is the ROPA Method recommended for?

At our centre in Viamed Hospital Santa Ángela de la Cruz, we welcome many couples seeking shared motherhood. This technique is the ideal option for:

Female same-sex couples

Couples who both wish to participate actively in the process, with one partner providing the genetic material and the other carrying the pregnancy.

A desire for a shared biological bond.

Medical reasons

Cases in which one of the women has low ovarian reserve or poor oocyte quality, while her partner has good reproductive health, allowing the couple to use their own eggs without resorting to an external donor.

Health guarantees

Couples who, due to age or medical history, require an in-depth study of one partner’s eggs to ensure pregnancy viability.

Our team of professionals in Seville will carry out a fertility study for both of you in order to advise you on who is the ideal candidate for each role.

Why choose Hospital Santa Ángela de la Cruz for your ROPA treatment?

Carrying out the ROPA Method within a hospital environment makes a difference:

Comprehensive safety

Cutting-edge technology

Innovation and technology for your shared motherhood

To give your Life Project the greatest possible guarantees, in our laboratory in Seville we integrate advanced techniques that optimise every step of the ROPA Method:

ICSI in Seville

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection ensures fertilisation of the eggs with donor sperm selected under strict quality criteria.

Time-Lapse, or Geri, in Seville

Thanks to this incubation system, we monitor your embryos minute by minute, selecting the one with the greatest implantation potential without altering its environment.

PGT-A in Seville

This allows us to evaluate the chromosomal status of the embryo, increasing the chances of implantation.

EMBRACE Test in Seville

We are pioneers in offering this non-invasive genetic diagnosis technique, which allows the embryo culture medium to be analysed in order to indirectly detect chromosomal abnormalities without the need for embryo biopsy.

The step-by-step process

Ovarian stimulation and puncture, egg-providing mother

We carry out detailed follicular monitoring followed by egg retrieval in the hospital’s surgical area.

Laboratory and fertilisation

Our embryology team fertilises the eggs with donor sperm and supervises embryo development.

Transfer

A very well-tolerated and emotional procedure in which the embryo begins its journey in the uterus.

FAQs: frequently asked questions about the ROPA Method in Seville

Absolutely. The decision is yours. Our doctors will carry out a fertility study for both of you to guide you on who has the best ovarian reserve or the most receptive uterus, always aiming for the highest success rate.

If we have surplus good-quality embryos, they are cryopreserved in our bank under the safety protocols of Hospital Santa Ángela de la Cruz for future attempts, without needing to repeat the stimulation phase.
