What is in vitro fertilisation or IVF?
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is an assisted reproduction technique in which eggs are fertilised with sperm outside the woman’s body.
This process is carried out in a specialised laboratory, and the resulting embryos, usually at the blastocyst stage, are transferred to the woman’s uterus to achieve pregnancy.
What is the process of IVF in Alicante like?
Ovarian stimulation
The first step in IVF at Vida Fertility Alicante is ovarian stimulation, which consists of administering hormonal drugs to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple follicles. This process is monitored by ultrasound and blood tests to ensure optimal follicle growth.
Ovarian puncture
Once the follicles have reached the right size, the ovarian puncture is performed to extract the eggs. This procedure is performed under sedation and ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and minimise discomfort.
Fertilisation and embryo development
The retrieved eggs are fertilised with sperm in the laboratory, using conventional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Embryos are cultured for several days before being selected for transfer.
Embryo transfer
The final step is embryo transfer, where one or more embryos are placed into the woman’s uterus via a thin catheter. Generally, this procedure does not require anaesthesia and a short period of rest afterwards is recommended.
How long does IVF take in Alicante?
The IVF process in Alicante usually lasts between 3 and 5 weeks, from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer. This time may vary depending on the response of each patient to the treatment and the necessary tests.
Who is in vitro fertilization indicated for?
IVF is indicated for:
- Several unsuccessful attempts at artificial insemination.
- Recurrent miscarriages.
- Endometriosis, blocked or absent fallopian tubes.
- Moderate or severe male infertility.
- Low ovarian reserve.
- Single mothers by choice.
- Patients requiring Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A).
Age limit for IVF in Alicante
Although Law 14/2006 on Assisted Human Reproduction in Spain does not establish an age limit for fertility treatments, the maximum age commonly accepted in private clinics is up to 50 years old.
Each case is evaluated individually, considering the general health of the patient and other risk factors.
Types of in vitro fertilization
- IVF with your own eggs and your partner’s sperm.
- IVF with own eggs and donor sperm.
- IVF + PGT-A: Includes Preimplantational Genetic Test.
- Egg donation: IVF with donor eggs and the couple’s sperm.

IVF Testimonials at Vida Fertility Alicante
Our patients have shared positive experiences about IVF at Vida Fertility Alicante, achieving their dreams of becoming mothers thanks to our equipment and advanced technology.
It is incredible how, from absolute resignation, these doctors have lifted my spirits. They got me pregnant and gave me my life back. They live up to their name.
I had to find a way to become a mother if I wanted to pursue my career and not settle for just any partner. I made the right choice.
From the very first moment I felt I was being listened to, understood, and above all, I felt that my treatment was finally going in the right direction.
Hello dear Mrs Ortega,
you and the whole team of Vida fertility make us so happy. Finally a relief that we can be helped! Many thanks to you and all the others for the great care and exceptional quality work. This high quality means a lot to us. We hope that in 2024 we can take a healthy baby full of love into our arms.❤️
Thanks to Dr. Kathi’s support and by following all her advice, the best moment of the treatment came: I got pregnant.
I didn’t know if I would ever be able to get pregnant and now I’m in my 5th month of pregnancy.
It hasn’t been an easy journey. After the second attempt, I am happy to say that in two months I will be meeting my little girl.
Being able to experience this shared motherhood has been a gift for the two of us.
THANK YOU to this great team for everything!
We highly recommend Vida Fertility to anyone who has already given up hope and wants to give it one last try.
A huge thank you to the entire Vida Fertility team, especially to Sophie and Dr. Spies, who helped us achieve the wonderful project of expanding our family. We met a very competent team who perfectly guided and advised us on the medical choices to make at each stage of our journey. 🫶
I recommend Vida Fertility for their professionalism, humanism, and availability.
Our wonderful baby is the proof that the results are there!
Thank you!
Thanks to Vida fertility, we are now mums. Mums!!
It’s the greatest gift of all, we’re so happy!
The good feeling will certainly have contributed to the success of the treatment.
When we first contacted the clinic, I didn’t expect to become a mum so quickly, and now I even have hope that we might be able to create a sibling for our son with the remaining blastocysts.
Thank you!
I chose Vida Fertility because it’s a clinic that offers human support from the very beginning. I’m convinced that my state of mind, so influenced by the unconditional support they gave me, was key to the success of my treatment.
At the first consultation, I felt heard, understood, and full of hope again. The final transfer, our last chance, took place in February 2024… and it worked. Our little girl has brought immense joy to our whole family.
Being a single parent brings challenges, but I’d recommend anyone thinking about it to go for it. Vida Fertility made my dream come true with my first IVF.
