leer másMy husband and I faced challenges conceiving naturally, which led us to pursue IVF. We initially tried a few cycles with my own eggs at a clinic in Melbourne, Australia, but both attempts were unsuccessful as the embryos stopped developing due to my condition. We then looked into the option of using donor eggs, but the process in Melbourne was complex. One of the regulations requires the child to be informed they were conceived via an egg donor, which we weren't entirely comfortable with. This prompted my husband to explore options abroad, and that’s how we discovered IREMA. After reading positive reviews and thoroughly researching the clinic, we reached out, and Brigida was our first point of contact. She was extremely kind and informative, and after gathering the necessary details, we arranged a video consultation with her and Dr. Terrado. Before our meeting, I researched Dr. Terrado and found that he is a highly regarded IVF specialist with a wealth of online resources and positive feedback. During our initial consultation, we felt an immediate connection with Brigida and Dr. Terrado. They answered all of our questions with patience and without any pressure, unlike some other clinics we had consulted in different countries. They gave us the time and space to make our decision without feeling rushed. After choosing IREMA, Brigida guided us through the entire process with exceptional care and professionalism. We felt confident and reassured throughout, thanks to her constant support. Brigida's attentiveness was remarkable, as she stayed in regular contact even before our trip to Spain, making sure everything was going smoothly. Her ability to build a strong rapport with patients is truly special. Upon arriving at IREMA, we were warmly greeted by Anna at the reception, whose friendly smile instantly made us feel at home. Meeting Brigida in person was like reconnecting with a close friend, and her warmth and care melted away any anxiety we had. We knew at that moment that we had made the right decision. Dr. Terrado also made us feel at ease during our consultations. He explained everything in detail, answering all our questions and making sure we were comfortable with each step. Using donor eggs, we were fortunate to have four high-quality embryos reach the blastocyst stage. We traveled to Spain for the embryo transfer, and two days later, we returned to Australia. Brigida continued to check in on us throughout the process. Unfortunately, our first embryo transfer did not result in a successful pregnancy, which was heartbreaking. However, Brigida and Dr. Terrado were incredibly supportive. They scheduled a video call to explain that everything had been done correctly and that sometimes, despite best efforts, the embryo just doesn’t attach. Six months later, after allowing my body to recover, we decided to try again. We still had three good-quality embryos remaining and felt optimistic. The second cycle, which we started in April 2024, felt even smoother than the first. Everything progressed as expected, from the initial scans in Australia to our arrival in Spain. After the embryo transfer, Dr. Terrado once again provided clear guidance, advising us to be patient while awaiting the test results. On June 5th, we went to a pathology clinic in Melbourne for the blood test. The following day, we received the news we had been waiting for—our test was positive! It was a surreal moment, and we were overjoyed to know that our dream of becoming parents was finally coming true. Now, at six months pregnant, I continue to stay in touch with Brigida, who provides advice and support throughout my pregnancy. Her care and attention have been invaluable to us throughout this journey. We are beyond grateful to the entire team at IREMA for their incredible care and support. If I could give a million stars, I would. If you choose IREMA, rest assured that you will be in the best possible hands. They will guide you through every step of the process with compassion, professionalism, and unwavering support, even beyond the embryo transfer.
