Welcome to Spain!
The majority of people visiting Spanish clinics are residents of France, Italy, and the United Kingdom. However, the demand is expanding, covering almost the whole of Europe, the USA, and other continents. The flow of Russian fertility tourists has also increased. In Spain, many of them get a long-awaited opportunity to become parents.
Why Choose Spain and Barcelona for IVF?
In Spain, 60% of IVF programs practice donor oocytes. And - which is very attractive to many couples who come to Spain for pregnancy - the egg donation here is entirely anonymous, unlike some other countries.
In addition to traditional artificial insemination, Spanish doctors use innovative technologies, such as embryoscopy and oocyte vitrification.
Embryoscopy is not just a new method for IVF. It is a gentle way to continuously monitor cell division, evaluate the development of embryos in real-time, and plant a healthy embryo. Embryoscopy allows the use of single embryo transfer, prevent twin pregnancies, and avoid complications for the mothers and newborn babies.
Oocyte vitrification is the most advanced technology for oocytes and embryos cryopreservation via ultrafast freezing. With the help of vitrification, the survival of the embryos reaches an almost absolute maximum of 98%. It allows you to speed up the process of fertilization and the enlarges chances of a successful pregnancy, as well as give parents more opportunities to raise a healthy baby.
Spanish doctors are very loyal to IVF for a single male or female parents and LGBT couples, helping thousands of people become parents.

Lack of restrictions. According to the laws, any woman of childbearing age has the right to carry out artificial insemination regardless of her marital status.
An anonymous donation of biological materials (eggs or sperm). Given that today more than half of IVF procedures are possible only thanks to donors, this is highly important.
Moreover, the legal aspect is one of the most important criteria for choosing this country.
Legal Regulations of IVF and Egg Donation in Barcelona
The current Spanish law for reproductive medicine sets the ground for scientific and technological progress and is a regulatory technique for both donors and intended parents.
Any woman over 18 years can be a recipient or a user of the IVF techniques regulated by law, regardless of her marital status and sexual orientation. Thus, single women, heterosexual couples, same-sex couples can use assisted reproduction methods. Even more importantly, they can resort to assistive reproduction not only because of fertility problems but also for life planning reasons. For example, when one of the parents chooses delaying motherhood via oocytes freezing.
Please, keep in mind that the law prohibits surrogacy in Spain! Birth defines motherhood.
