The testimony of Audrey and Solène: the success of IVF with sperm donor in Spain | Vida Fertility

Every story of motherhood begins with a dream and sometimes with many obstacles. For many couples in France, assisted reproduction can be a frustrating process due to long waiting times, legal constraints and poorly personalised medical protocols.
In the following article Audrey and Solène, two brave women from France, tell us about their experience with Assisted Reproduction in Spain, at our fertility clinic Vida Fertility, and what treatment they underwent in order to start their family.
At Vida Fertility, we know that each patient is unique. That is why every year we accompany many couples of French women on their way to motherhood through IVF with anonymous sperm donor in our clinics in Madrid and Alicante.
Today we want to share the story of Audrey and Solène, a French couple who, after years of failed attempts in France, decided to trust Vida Fertility.

Dr. Spies why do so many French couples choose IVF in Spain?
France has made progress in legalising fertility treatments for single women and treatments for couples of women, but the reality is that many patients still face difficulties:
- Long waiting lists to access treatments.
- Poorly personalised protocols, with few options for those over 35.
- No anonymity in the selection of sperm and egg donors.
Spain, on the other hand, is recognised for its excellence in reproductive medicine and for its regulations that allow anonymous gamete donation, guaranteeing a faster and safer process for future mothers.
What does in vitro fertilisation with a sperm donor consist of?
According to Dr. Katharina Spies, IVF with sperm donor is an assisted reproduction technique in which the patient’s eggs are fertilised with sperm from an anonymous donor in the laboratory.
Process of IVF in Spain Vida Fertility:
- Personalised ovarian stimulation Tailored to each patient to optimise the quantity and quality of eggs.
- Ovarian puncture Extraction of the eggs in a simple procedure.
- Fertilisation with anonymous donor sperm In the laboratory with advanced techniques such as ICSI.
- Embryo culture and embryo selection We transfer the embryo with the highest potential for success.
- Beta waiting period and pregnancy test 10-12 days after the embryo transfer, the big news.
The success rate at Vida Fertility is very high, especially in patients with an adapted diagnosis and treatment.
IVF success with sperm donor: How do we select sperm donors at Vida Fertility?
One of the most important aspects of donor IVF treatment is sperm selection.
At Vida Fertility, we have a rigorous selection process to guarantee maximum safety and compatibility:
- Guaranteed anonymity. According to Spanish legislation, donors are 100% anonymous.
- Exhaustive medical and genetic tests. Physical examination, analysis of hereditary diseases and study of seminal quality.
- Phenotypic compatibility. We select the donor that most closely resembles the mother physical aspects such as eye, skin and hair colour.
At Vida Fertility we do not have our own sperm banks. It is the medical team who is in charge of making an optimal selection so that the future baby shares characteristics with your family.
Audrey & Solène’s testimony: several failed IVF in France and a positive IVF in Spain
“Vida Fertility has given us back hope”
Audrey & Solène tried to become mothers in France for two years. After multiple negative IVFs and fertility treatments that never reached the ovarian puncture stage, their confidence in the French assisted reproduction system deteriorated.
“The follow-up was neither personalised nor adapted to our situation as women over 35. We had lost confidence after so many disappointments and we were morally exhausted,” they say.
It was at this point that they decided to look for alternatives and found Vida Fertility.
“From the first contact, we felt that the clinic really understood us. The care was professional and close. The team was incredibly attentive, available, and knew how to find the right treatment quickly.”
For them, the most surprising thing was that IVF worked on the first attempt.
“Thanks to Vida Fertility, we are mums. It is the most beautiful gift we could receive. We are so happy.”
