Fertility preservation in women is recommended in the following cases:
When a woman wishes to postpone her reproductive plan
When a woman will receive treatment which may affect her reproductive capacity
How is egg freezing performed?
To preserve a woman’s fertility, her eggs must be collected through stimulation treatment and ovarian puncture, similar to that which is performed during In Vitro fertilisation (IVF). The collected eggs will be frozen through the vitrification technique, which offers better guarantees in subsequent thawing and increases oocyte survival rates.
Can all women freeze their eggs?
No, in order to preserve a woman’s fertility with a good guarantee for success, her age and ovarian reserve need to be considered.
How long can the eggs stay frozen?
The eggs can stay frozen for the necessary period of time without any effect on their quality.
What do I have to do when I want to use my frozen eggs?
In order to use these eggs, they must be thawed in the laboratory for fertilisation with sperm from the partner or a donor. The collected embryos are maintained in culture for transfer 5 days later. The embryos that have not been transferred will be frozen.
The woman will have to prepare her endometrium with oestrogen and progesterone hormone replacement therapy in order to receive the embryos.

I chose the IVF Barcelona clinic, because of the friendly and informal way they are with their patients. I felt taken care of and not overwhelmed with information. All was done one step at a time. I had a wonderful experince freezing my eggs 2 years ago and that is why when i decided to become a solo mom I also turned to them for the IVF process. Overall, i strongly recommend the clinic!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire team at the clinic. I came from France for fertility preservation (egg freezing), and my experience was extremely positive from beginning to end. The staff is very professional, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. As a very anxious and hypochondriac person, I had many questions at each stage of the treatment. The team demonstrated remarkable patience, taking the time to answer me clearly and kindly. Thanks to their support, I was able to approach this process with much more peace of mind, even after the procedure. The operation took place under optimal conditions, and the post-operative care was impeccable. Furthermore, the clinic itself is modern and located within a reasonable distance of Barcelona's city center, making it easily accessible. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone, whether local or from abroad, who wishes to undergo fertility preservation or any other medical treatment. The team's level of professionalism and dedication is exceptional. A huge thank you to the entire team for their support and kindness!
Je tiens à exprimer ma profonde gratitude envers toute l’équipe de la clinique. Je suis venue de France pour une préservation de fertilité (congélation d'ovocytes), et mon expérience a été extrêmement positive, du début jusqu’à la fin. Le personnel est très professionnel, accueillant et attentif à chaque détail. Étant une personne très anxieuse et hypocondriaque, j'avais de nombreuses questions à chaque étape du traitement. L’équipe a fait preuve d’une patience remarquable, en prenant le temps de me répondre avec clarté et bienveillance. Grâce à leur soutien, j’ai pu aborder ce parcours avec beaucoup plus de sérénité, même après l’intervention. L’opération s’est déroulée dans des conditions optimales et le suivi post-opératoire a été impeccable. De plus, la clinique elle-même est moderne et située à une distance raisonnable du centre-ville de Barcelone, ce qui la rend facilement accessible. Je recommande vivement cette clinique à toutes les personnes, qu'elles soient locales ou venant de l’étranger, souhaitant réaliser une préservation de fertilité ou tout autre traitement médical. Le niveau de professionnalisme et de dévouement de l’équipe est exceptionnel. Un immense merci à toute l’équipe pour leur accompagnement et leur bienveillance !

My experience with Dr. Pancorbo was exceptional. I went to her for information about egg freezing treatment, and from the very first moment, I felt I was in the best hands. Her professionalism and knowledge gave me a lot of confidence, but what I want to highlight most is the warm and personal attention she gave me during the consultation. She answered all my questions with patience and empathy. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Mi experiencia con la Dra. Pancorbo fue excepcional. Acudí para solicitar información sobre un tratamiento de congelación de óvulos y desde el primer momento me sentí en las mejores manos. Su profesionalidad y conocimiento me dieron mucha confianza, pero lo que más quiero destacar es el trato humano y cálido que me brindó en consulta. Resolvió todas mis dudas con paciencia y empatía. Recomendaría su atención sin ninguna duda.

No puedo estar más satisfecha con mi experiencia.

The Barcelona IVF clinic provided excellent support throughout our two IVF cycles (100% success rate on the first insemination). The medical team speaks perfect French, and we generally received responses (emails, phone calls) in less than 24 hours. The doctor who treated us was incredibly attentive! Located in the hills above Barcelona, the clinic is easily accessible by bus or metro (a maximum 10-minute walk). We also benefited from discounts at hotels near the clinic thanks to their partnerships (between 15% and 30% depending on the season). In terms of cost, IVF costs around €5,000 the first time (because eggs need to be retrieved, but you have enough eggs; subsequent cycles cost around €2,000 maximum). We had our first IVF cycle in 2019 and the second in 2025: the prices haven't increased, which is remarkable! Expect to pay €250 per year for egg preservation if you wish to keep your eggs. In any case, it was a superb experience, with very professional and compassionate medical staff. We highly recommend it!
La clinique Barcelona IVF nous a parfaitement accompagnée dans nos 2 FIVs (100% de réussite dès la 1ère insémination). L'équipe médicale parle parfaitement français, et nous avions en générale des réponses (emails, téléphone) en moins de 24h. La doctoresse qui nous a suivi était absolument aux petits soins pour nous! Située sur les hauteurs de Barcelone, la clinique est facilement accessible en bus ou en métro (compter 10 de marche maximum). Nous avons aussi pu bénéficier de réductions dans les hôtels autour de la clinique grâce à leurs partenariats (ente 15 et 30% selon la saison). En termes de prix, la FIV coûte environ 5000€ la 1ère fois (car il faut faire l'extraction d'oeufs, mais vous en avez assez, les fois suivantes c'est quasi 2000€ maximum). On a fait la 1ère FIV en 2019, et la 2nde en 2025: les prix n'ont pas augmentés et c'est notable! Compter 250€ par an pour a préservation de vos oeufs si vous voulez en garder. En tous cas une superbe expérience, avec un personnel médical très professionnel et humain. Nous recommandons fortement!

My brother recommended this clinic to me so I could see Dr. Zamora, as they were having fertility problems and they finally got pregnant. It was the right choice; the doctor is very serious and a great professional. He showed a lot of empathy at all times and instilled a lot of confidence and security in me. In my case, it was for egg vitrification, and everything went very well. The team, in general, was super friendly, very empathetic, and professional. I want to thank Iman, Leidys, Antonella (patient care, always with a smile ♥️), May and Jacinta (nurses), the anesthesiologist whose name I don't know but who was also a lovely woman, and of course, Dr. Zamora. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you 🤗 (Claudia).
