The incredible beta hCG data that defines pregnancy success
A new study establishes that specific early beta hCG hormone figures (such as its doubling in 48 hours) can predict with over 85% accuracy the birth of a baby after in vitro fertilization, providing greater peace of mind compared to traditional ultrasounds. Read more
Embryo culture in the in vitro fertilization laboratory (IVF)
Egg and embryo culture is an essential phase of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. It can be performed in short or long culture. Read more
Chronic endometritis: the great truth in implantation failure
Recent research shows that true implantation failure is rare and that chronic endometritis does not have as much influence as previously thought. We analyze why the current diagnosis is a challenge and the risks of abusing antibiotics without confirmation in fertility treatments. Read more
Clearing cervical mucus in IVF: Why this medical step is unnecessary
A recent randomized clinical trial evaluates whether the removal of cervical mucus prior to embryo transfer in ICSI cycles truly impacts gestational success. The results question routine protocols and open the debate on their real necessity in fertility treatments.

Understanding the Results of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
The probability of obtaining a positive pregnancy test after an embryo transfer is higher when the embryos have been genetically analyzed with PGT. According to the latest SEF data from 2022, the pregnancy rate per transfer in IVF cycles with PGT was 52.0%. Read more
Embryo Transfer in Natural Cycles: Advantages & Disadvantages
The transfer of frozen embryos in a natural cycle consists of taking advantage of the endogenous hormone production by the ovary and the natural growth of the endometrium to carry out the transfer at the most ideal moment. Read more
How Does the Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Procedure Work?
Frozen embryo transfer, also known as delayed embryo transfer, is an option that can be performed in both natural and surrogate cycles. The cost of frozen embryo transfer is lower than IVF. Read more
