INITIAL CONSULTATION COULD BE DONE VIA SKYPE 

Treatment to adopt embryosIt’s easy and painless. The preparation of the uterus to receive the embryos consists of patches which are applied on the skin and vaginal suppositories. In a few days the uterus is prepared and the embryos can be thawed and transferred. No committal to the hospital is needed, merely physical efforts should be avoided. Process of embryo adoption During the initial consultation the woman’s health is checked and a gynaecological examination is performed. Please bring any previous revelant medical report with you. A scan will be performed and a painless catheter test is done. This is to choose the best catheter for transfer. You will receive indications on how to proceed with the treatment and a date for the thawing and transfer of the embryos will be agreed. Success rateThe success rate for each embryo adoption cycle in our centre was 60%. Waiting list There is no waiting list, as soon as all previous tests have been made and the preparatory treatment has started transfer takes place approximately two to four weeks later. It is not necessary to run through an official adoption process, you just sign the consent form for this Assisted Reproduction Technique. Differences between embryo adoption and donation The difference lies within the legal situation. For the “Donation Programme” the embryos come from couples who explicitly and in writing give their embryos away to other couples. In the “Adoption Programme” the destination of the embryos has not been chosen and therefore they are legally under the protection of the centre.
