Spain is an innovative country in assisted reproductive technology (ART), with nearly 200 fertility clinics throughout its cities, especially Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Mallorca, etc.
Spanish Law regarding Assisted Human Reproduction Techniques (henceforth, LAHRT) is valid throughout the whole Spanish territory. One of the aspects covered by this law is gamete donation (i.e. egg donation and sperm donation), a fertility option that today stands for the reason as to why many foreign patients decide to come to Spain.
Gamete donation programs across Spain are characterized by being both anonymous and altruistic. Both features differentiate Spain from other countries in terms of assisted reproduction, while at the same time allow national and international patients find the right solution to fight against their fertility problems.

Hello, I’ve recently undergone IVF with donor eggs in Majorca and I’ve to say it was amazing, I mean… The whole process, including the weather!!! However, I would’t recommend you to visit Majorca in summer (July and Aug.) because it’s too warm as to experience pain, undergo surgery, etc.
