Once the decision of resorting to assisted reproduction to become parents has been made, it is essential to choose the centre that offers the best performance in terms of competence, transparency and safety. Institut Marquès offers the best results, accredited by FIV-CAT (an agency that depends on the Catalan Government, the “Generalitat de Catalunya”) and approved by the Spanish Ministry of Health.
Our forefront statistics in terms of results and a spirit of continuous innovation place Institut Marquès amongst the best clinics in the world.
Nowadays, clinics often “guarantee” a high number of eggs or even a certain number of blastocysts to its patients. Even the guarantee of a pregnancy is used as a commercial strategy.
Offering or guaranteeing many eggs or blastocysts leads to worse pregnancy rates, because in order to get what was promised, eggs of poor quality are considered as good ones, as well as blastocysts of bad quality which do not implant, produce micro-miscarriages and should not be cryopreserved, let alone perform cryotransfer cycles with them.
At Institut Marquès we cannot guarantee the outcome of each cycle, since it depends on many factors. The amount of eggs required for a treatment cycle to end up in pregnancy depends mainly on the quality of each laboratory, of the eggs and of the male’s sperm. However, it is impossible to know in advance how many blastocysts will be formed. In any case, the number doesn’t matter, but its quality.
At Institut Marquès, 90% of the transfers carried out are of a single embryo. In this way, twin pregnancies and the risks these involve are avoided.
Furthermore, this also maintains and even improves pregnancy rates. This is the conclusion of a recent study by Institut Marquès that was awarded the First Prize of the Interest Area of Sterility and Infertility in the 35th edition of the National Congress of the Spanish Gynaecology and Obstetrics Society (SEGO), which was held in Málaga earlier this year.
