Question 1

Does Fertilab provide fertility treatment for same-sex couples?

Accepted Answer

Fertilab welcomes same‑sex couples and offers inclusive fertility options. Female couples can access the ROPA (Reception of Oocytes from Partner) method, which allows one partner to provide the egg and the other to carry the pregnancy. Male couples may use donor‑egg IVF combined with gestational surrogacy (currently a suspended service) or pursue adoption pathways coordinated by the clinic. The team’s experience with diverse family structures ensures personalized support throughout the assisted‑reproduction journey, including embryo transfer planning.

Question 2

What is the history and background of Fertilab?

Accepted Answer

Fertilab was founded in 1983 by a group of CONICET scientists who introduced assisted‑reproduction techniques to Argentina. Over four decades the centre has performed more than 10 000 high‑complexity treatments, including over 20 000 IVF/ICSI cycles and 6 000 frozen‑embryo transfers. The clinic is accredited by the Argentine Society of Reproductive Medicine (SAMER) and the Latin American Network of Assisted Reproduction (Red LARA), and has received numerous awards such as the 2011 Dr. Pedro R. Figueroa Casas prize. Its long‑standing history reflects a commitment to ethical practice, research and high‑quality patient care.

Question 3

What are the IVF success rates at Fertilab?

Accepted Answer

Fertilab achieves IVF pregnancy rates that exceed the average reported for Latin America and are comparable to leading centers in Europe and the United States. The clinic has completed more than 10 000 high‑complexity cycles, including over 6 000 frozen‑embryo transfers, which generate a cumulative pregnancy rate of approximately 54 % across fresh and frozen embryo transfers. These results are audited by the Argentine Society of Reproductive Medicine (SAMER) and reported to the national and Latin American registries, confirming the clinic’s high success performance.

Question 4

What fertility treatments and services does Fertilab offer?

Accepted Answer

Fertilab offers a full spectrum of fertility treatments. Core assisted‑reproduction services include in‑vitro fertilization (IVF/FIV) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), as well as intrauterine insemination (IUI) for low‑complexity cycles. The clinic also provides ovodonación (egg donation) with donor‑egg IVF, the ROPA method for lesbian couples, and a suspended subrogación (surrogacy) program. Cryopreservation of semen, embryos and oocytes, pre‑implantation genetic testing (PGT‑A and PGT‑M), and co‑culture of embryos on autologous endometrial cells are available to optimise pregnancy chances and embryo transfer outcomes.

Question 5

What IVF laboratory technology does Fertilab use?

Accepted Answer

The Fertilab laboratory uses several advanced technologies to maximise embryo quality. Sperm selection is performed with Columnas de Anexina and calcium ionophore activation, while assisted hatching and blastocyst culture are standard practices. The centre runs pre‑implantation genetic screening (PGT‑A) and diagnosis (PGT‑M) on embryos, and employs a dedicated quality‑control program accredited by SAMER. Additional tools such as DNA fragmentation testing (Halosperm) and endometrial receptivity assays further support personalized assisted reproduction.

Question 6

Does Fertilab offer egg donation for IVF treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Fertilab provides ovodonación (egg donation) as part of its high‑complexity reproductive program. Donor eggs are obtained from screened, healthy women and fertilised with the partner’s or donor’s sperm through IVF or ICSI. The clinic sets an upper age limit of 50 years for recipients of donor‑egg cycles, and typically transfers two high‑quality embryos per transfer to balance success and multiple‑pregnancy risk. Reported pregnancy rates for donor‑egg IVF exceed 60 % per transfer, contributing to the centre’s overall success statistics.

Question 7

Who are the fertility doctors and specialists at Fertilab?

Accepted Answer

Fertilab’s medical team is led by three directors‑medicos: Dr. Diego Griessi Fortes, a reproductive endocrinologist with a diploma of honor from the University of Buenos Aires and extensive experience in fertility surgery; Dr. Nicolás Daneff, also a director‑médico; and Dr. Matías Santomé, a specialist in obstetrics‑gynecology and reproductive medicine. The clinical staff includes Dr. Edgardo Rolla, a certified specialist in gynecology, assisted reproduction and laparoscopic surgery, and Dra. Julieta Briones, a board‑certified obstetrician‑gynecologist. Together with a team of embryologists, nurses and psychologists, the clinic provides comprehensive assisted reproduction care.

Question 8

What is the maximum age for IVF treatment at Fertilab?

Accepted Answer

The maximum age for IVF treatment at Fertilab is defined by the type of cycle. For donor‑egg IVF, the clinic accepts recipients up to 50 years old, reflecting safety and outcome considerations. For autologous cycles, age is evaluated individually, with a focus on ovarian reserve and overall health, but there is no strict upper limit published. The centre’s policies prioritize patient safety while aiming to achieve the highest possible pregnancy rates and successful embryo transfers.
