Remote fertility treatments | Definitive guide for 2026 at Vida Fertility
Making the decision to start fertility treatment is never easy. And when you live outside USA, many additional questions arise:
Will it be complicated? Will I have to travel a lot? Will they understand me? Will I lose my privacy?
We spoke to the medical director of Vida Fertility, Dr Katharina Spies, about the questions our patients ask before starting fertility treatment in Europe.
As a doctor specialising in assisted reproduction in Madrid and after years of accompanying national and international patients, I can tell you something with complete clarity: remote fertility treatments are not only possible, but can be experienced with peace of mind, security and closeness if done right.
Why do patients from outside the USA choose Vida Fertility?
Medical prestige and international trust
Many of our patients come to our fertility clinic in Spain, after months of research. They compare results, specialists, medical approaches and international experience.
Vida Fertility has become a leading clinic for patients from outside their city and abroad because we combine:
- High-level reproductive medicine
- Friendly and personalised treatment
- Clear and well-organised protocols
- Real experience with international patients
We treat patients from all over Spain and from countries as far away as Australia and Japan, something that is only possible when processes are very well structured.
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.
Anonymity: a more important reason than it seems
This point comes up constantly in consultations, although it is sometimes difficult to verbalise.
Many patients decide to seek treatment outside their city because:
- They live in small communities
- They work in fields where they prefer discretion
- They do not wish to share their reproductive process
Spain offers real anonymity, which is a great source of reassurance for many patients. At Vida Fertility, we deeply respect this aspect, taking care of every detail of the process.
Egg donation: more options, more peace of mind
For patients who need egg donation, large cities such as Madrid, Alicante or Donostia make a difference:
- Greater number of donors
- Better phenotypic matching
- More streamlined processes
- Legal and practical anonymity
This is especially relevant for patients from outside Spain who are seeking medical and legal security.
Spanish legislation: a key factor for foreign patients
Spain has some of the most advanced legislation on assisted reproduction:
- Access to treatment for single women and treatment for same-sex couples
- The Spanish Gamete Donation Law supports donor anonymity.
- Highly regulated medical protocols.
This is why so many international patients choose to be treated here, and specifically at fertility clinics with experience such as Vida Fertility.
How is remote fertility treatment organised?
Medical monitoring is one of the fundamental pillars of remote fertility treatment. At Vida Fertility, this support is carefully organised so that you feel cared for and safe at all times.
Stages of remote fertility treatment at Vida Fertility
First online or face-to-face visit
It all starts with an online or in-person fertility consultation at, where:
- We listen to your story
- We analyse previous tests and, if appropriate, suggest new ones
- We answer medical and emotional questions
- We design a realistic and personalised plan
This first visit is key to building trust and clarity from the outset.
Fertility tests
Before starting remote fertility treatment, it is essential to have a prior, up-to-date medical examination.
When patients do not have recent fertility tests, basic examinations are assessed first, such as a semen analysis, ovarian reserve study, hormone analysis and serology tests for both partners, which are necessary to rule out sexually transmitted infections and ensure the safety of the treatment.
In cases where previous tests are available or we are dealing with more complex situations, such as implantation failure or recurrent miscarriages — the fertility study should be more comprehensive. In these cases, it may be necessary to resort to advanced diagnostic tests, such as hysteroscopy, karyotyping or pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT-A), in order to personalise the therapeutic strategy as much as possible and improve the chances of success.
Remote treatment and medical follow-up
One of the biggest fears is thinking that you will have to travel constantly. This is not the case.
At Vida Fertility, when you start treatment, after diagnosis by our professionals, you will have a patient care coordinator available for you. You can ask questions at any stage of your treatment: medication, ultrasounds, results, budget, accommodation, etc.
In addition, we collaborate with specialist gynaecologists near your home, so we can coordinate with tests, ultrasounds, adapt check-ups to your place of residence and only ask you to travel when strictly necessary.
This reduces stress, costs and time.
Fertility treatments adapted to your cycles and dates
Not all patients can travel whenever they want. That is why we plan the treatment according to your availability and adjust schedules with medical precision.
From the outset, you will know:
- How many times you will have to come
- At what stage of the treatment
- For how long
Clarity reduces anxiety, and that is also part of the treatment.
In addition, if you need it, we can help you find gynaecologists in your country, pharmacies that have the medication available, nutrition specialists, etc.
Stay in Spain, the key moment of the treatment
During the face-to-face phases of the treatment, such as ovarian puncture or embryo transfer, it is essential that your stay in Spain is as simple and peaceful as possible.
At Vida Fertility, we help you plan this time in advance, adapting the medical appointments to your availability and offering practical guidance so that you only have to focus on your well-being.
We recommend hotels close to the clinic and suggest convenient areas to stay, which are well connected and designed for patients seeking comfort and discretion.
A human approach for patients from all over the world
At Vida Fertility, every year we accompany patients from all of Spain’s autonomous communities and from numerous countries, with very diverse cultures, languages and family situations. This experience has allowed us to develop a truly international care model, based on closeness, respect and personalised treatment.
We have new, modern and welcoming facilities, designed to offer a calm and safe environment at a particularly sensitive time in your life. Our laboratory and equipment incorporate state-of-the-art technology, allowing us to work to the highest standards of quality and safety, optimising each phase of treatment.
But beyond technology, our team is accustomed to accompanying complex processes from a global perspective: medical, emotional and logistical. Because we understand that fertility treatment is not just a clinical procedure, but an experience that must be lived with confidence, understanding and support every step of the way.
