Just a few decades ago, infertility diagnoses were seen as definitive sentences. However, reproductive medicine has evolved to turn situations once considered impossible into stories of hope and success. At Mater Clinic, we have witnessed countless transformations, supporting our patients on their journey to motherhood.
Here, we will explore inspiring cases that show how science, combined with a personalized approach, is making the impossible possible.
1. Motherhood without ovaries: The power of egg donation.
The absence of ovaries, whether due to surgical intervention (as in cases of severe endometriosis) or a genetic condition, once meant the end of biological motherhood. Today, thanks to egg donation, many women have been able to make their dreams come true.
At Mater Clinic, egg donation treatments include not only the selection of anonymously and carefully screened donated eggs but also personalized uterine preparation. Through advanced hormonal therapies, the uterus is conditioned to receive the embryo, significantly increasing success rates.
The medical team supports patients at every stage of the process, ensuring a compassionate and tailored treatment experience. What once seemed unattainable is now an achievable reality for hundreds of women.
2. Unexplained Infertility.
One of the most frustrating causes of infertility is so-called "unexplained infertility," where no clear issues are identified in standard tests. Thanks to advanced technologies, these cases now have more precise solutions:
• Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): This technique detects genetic abnormalities in embryos that previously went unnoticed.
• Extended Embryo Culture: Keeping embryos in the laboratory until the blastocyst stage (day 5 or 6) allows the selection of those with the highest chances of success.
Today, unexplained infertility rarely remains without options, thanks to these techniques, which have become standard tools in IVF treatments.
At Mater Clinic, the success rates of these treatments are a testament to the fact that an unexplained diagnosis is not the end of the road.
3. Pregnancy during menopause: A reality for women over 50.
Motherhood after the age of 50, especially for women in menopause, has gained visibility thanks to medical and technological advancements. In Spain, pregnancy at advanced ages is an achievable reality for many women who have chosen to delay motherhood or face biological challenges in conceiving.
Although menopause marks the natural end of fertility, specialized treatments now make it possible to achieve a healthy pregnancy:
Options available for women in menopause.
- Egg donation.
Egg donation is an effective and safe solution for menopausal women who wish to become pregnant. In this procedure, the eggs come from a young and healthy donor, ensuring high quality and viability. Once fertilized, the embryos are transferred to the patient's uterus, which is hormonally prepared to receive them.
Mater Clinic specializes in egg donation, offering comprehensive support, from donor selection to pregnancy monitoring, ensuring an ethical, professional, and personalized approach.
- Personalized In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
IVF has evolved significantly in recent years. For women in menopause, a combination of hormonal treatments and advanced techniques, such as preimplantation genetic testing, is used to maximize success rates. At Mater Clinic, every plan is tailored to the specific needs of the patient, prioritizing her health and well-being throughout the process.
4. Male azoospermia.
The absence of sperm in semen, known as azoospermia, may seem like an insurmountable obstacle. However, innovative techniques have made conception possible even in extreme cases:
- Testicular sperm extraction (TESE): A minimally invasive technique that allows sperm to be retrieved directly from the testes.
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): Retrieved sperm, even if few or of limited quality, are directly injected into the egg during IVF.
These techniques, which were experimental a few years ago, are now standard in treatments for male infertility. At Mater Clinic, a specialized team conducts thorough evaluations and designs personalized treatments that have led to success stories once thought impossible.
5. Recurrent miscarriages: Personalized solutions for complex cases.
The emotional and physical pain of consecutive miscarriages can be devastating. However, thanks to new approaches, many women with this history have managed to carry pregnancies to term. At Mater Clinic, our specialists conduct thorough studies to identify immunological, hematological, or genetic issues that may be influencing these outcomes.
Treatments such as specific anticoagulants or immunological therapies are tailored for each patient, enabling many women with this history to achieve a healthy full-term pregnancy.
6. Fertility after cancer treatment.
Facing a cancer diagnosis does not mean giving up the dream of having children. Today, fertility preservation is a common practice with options such as:
• Preservation of eggs or sperm: For women, this involves hormonal stimulation to produce multiple eggs, followed by their retrieval and freezing prior to starting chemotherapy or radiotherapy. For men, this does not require prior hormonal procedures.
• In vitro fertilization (IVF) after treatment: With previously preserved gametes, it is possible to conceive even after overcoming the illness.
At Mater Clinic, the medical team ensures that individuals facing these circumstances can explore all available alternatives to build a family.
Although the journey through infertility can be challenging, scientific advances have broken many barriers that once seemed insurmountable. If you’ve ever thought your case was "impossible," consult a reproductive specialist. The solution might be much closer than you imagine.
Because every life deserves a chance, and every dream, a possibility. At Mater Clinic, we remind you that your dream of becoming a mother doesn’t have to remain just a wish. If you’re facing fertility challenges, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Every success story begins with a first step: a consultation that can open the door to a future full of possibilities.
