Instituto Bernabeu

The average cost of IVF treatment with your own eggs at Instituto Bernabeu is €5,000. However, this doesn’t include the medication that will be needed throughout the treatment, but this can be bought at a pharmacy in your own country, or at a pharmacy in Spain. The average cost of this medication is €1,200, although the cost may vary depending on what medication your specialist believes you will require for the treatment. What is included in the €5,000 cost is all of the laboratory costs, as well as the first transfer of the first embryo.

One of the more popular add-ons that patients ask for at Instituto Bernabeu is PGD testing, which is Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, and the cost for this is €550 for the first embryo, and €400 for each additional embryo you would like tested. PGD is a test that is performed on the embryo whereby the cells are examined before implantation to ensure that it has the correct number of chromosomes and contains no genetic defects that can cause miscarriage, an unhealthy child and any serious illnesses that can be caused by the abnormalities in the chromosomes.

Other popular add-ons that you may opt for include embryo freezing. For vitrification and freezing of your embryos you will be expected to pay €500, no matter how many embryos you have frozen. The reason you may need to freeze any embryos is that you have some left over from your treatment and may wish to have another child in the future at some point.

The average cost of treatment with egg donation at Instituto Bernabeu is €6,500, although this does not include the medication that you will also require. The cost for the medication for your egg donor will be around €1,000, whilst the cost for the medication for you will be between €400 and €500, and will depend on what medication is required and prescribed by your doctor. The medication for you can be bought either in Spain or in your own country at a pharmacy of your choosing.

Included in the cost of egg donation treatment are all of the tests and screening for your donor, as well as any necessary scans, endometrium preparation and all of your scans until the transfer of the first embryo.

The Instituto Bernabeu has a large egg donor database so they have access to all ethnicities, with approximately 1,000 women willing to donate. If you are looking for East or South Asian eggs then there can sometimes be a little shortage, but with most other ethnicities they should have less trouble. Thanks to their large database you shouldn’t have to worry about waiting too long for your eggs.

Egg donors with the clinic face strict requirements in order to be a donor, with age and health being the main factors in becoming one. Donors are all between 18 and 33, and this is to ensure that the eggs are as healthy and fertile as possible, because this is very important to the success of the treatment. They must also be in good physical and mental health and to make sure of this they will undergo psychological testing as well as physical testing. As part of this testing they will be checked for infectious diseases and hereditary diseases, so that nothing can be transmitted to the embryo. The clinic will also ensure that the family history and personal history of the patient is looked at to determine if they are fit to be a donor. Further testing will be performed to ensure there are no chromosomal and genetic abnormalities. Thanks to this testing they are able to look at the genes and ensure that over 600 recessive diseases and over 3,000 hereditary diseases have no chance of passing to your child. With this testing and the requirements set out you can be sure to receive only healthy and fertile embryos. Egg donation is anonymous so you won’t be able to know who your donor is, but the clinic will choose the best donor for you.

The cost of PGT-A testing with Instituto Bernabeu is 550 for the first embryo you wish to have analysed, and €400 for each additional embryo, so if you choose to have three embryos analysed you will be expected to pay €1,350. Regardless of the treatment you are undergoing, the cost for PGT-A testing will remain the same, so you will not have to pay more or less with a different treatment.

PGT-A is Preimplantation Genetic Testing, and as the name suggests it is testing that is performed prior to the implantation of the embryos that are being used in your treatment. It looks at the chromosomes in your embryo to determine whether or not there are any abnormalities present that will cause genetic defects or cause problems during the development of the foetus. Being able to test for this allows the clinic to ensure that only embryos without abnormalities and the correct number of chromosomes are implanted.

PGT-A testing is a relatively harmless procedure and has no effect on the mother as the test is performed on the embryos themselves.

The cost of donor sperm with Instituto Bernabeu is €500, and this cost is for every treatment the clinic has that will require sperm donation. So whether you are having treatment with your own eggs, donor eggs, or any other, if you require donor sperm the cost is the same.

When it comes to the donor ethnicities the clinic has access to most, although South Asian is a little more difficult to get, with East Asian having more availability. The other ethnicities are more available so you should have little to no waiting time should you choose.

All donors with the clinic are tested and have to meet specific requirements in order to donate, as per Spanish law. Some of these requirements include being between the ages of 18 and 35, not suffering from any STIs or genetic diseases, and being physically and psychologically healthy. In order to discover this they undergo testing whereby their sperm is tested to ensure it is healthy and fertile enough to be used in treatment, and they undergo psychological testing to ensure that they are of sound mind and understand what donating sperm really means. They will also undergo a blood test to test for STIs and genetic diseases which may pass down through their sperm if they have any in their family history, of which is also checked, as the clinic wishes to rule out anything passing on to your child. Thanks to all of the testing performed by the clinic you can be sure that the sperm you receive is the very best.

All donors with the clinic will remain anonymous so you will not be able to know who they are and they will not know of any children born as a result of their donation.

The average cost of ROPA treatment with Instituto Bernabeu is around €5,500. This cost includes €5,000 for the IVF treatment and €500 for the donor sperm that you will need. This does not include the medication that will be needed and this will cost around €1,200, and can be purchased at either a pharmacy in Spain or a pharmacy in your own country.

A sperm donor will be needed and luckily the clinic has a large sperm selection in their bank, and all of the donors have been thoroughly tested both physically and mentally, to ensure that the sperm you receive is the very best and will be both healthy and fertile. This way you will have a higher chance of success with your treatment.

The cost of fertility treatment with embryo donation at Instituto Bernabeu is €4,000, but this does not include the medication, and this will cover you for one embryo transfer. The medication involved with this treatment must be bought separately and will cost around 400 to €500, and it can be purchased at a pharmacy in your own country or in Spain, where the clinic is located.

If you are looking at having PGT-A testing performed on the embryos in this treatment you will be unable to do so, as the embryos would need to be vitrified twice in order to perform this test for this treatment, and this has a chance of damaging the embryos. However, the donors that the clinic uses must meet strict requirements, and are tested to ensure that their donations are healthy, so further testing would not be required.

The cost in order to freeze your eggs with Instituto Bernabeu is €2,000 and this cost includes the preparation, any scans that you need and the maintenance and storage for the first two years. Any medication you need during this is a separate cost and can be purchased at a pharmacy for about €700. Once the initial two years have passed you will need to pay an annual maintenance fee in order to keep your eggs stored, the cost for this is €300 per year.

With so many different reasons it shows that egg freezing is important to a lot of people, as when they are in a position in their life to have children they know they can have access to their own eggs, which are still as healthy and fertile as the day they were frozen.

The cost of IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) with Instituto Bernabeu is €1,000, if you are using your partner’s sperm. If you require a donor there will be an additional fee of €500 for IUI, making the total €1,500.

During IUI, the sperm that is to be inserted, whether it is your partner’s sperm or donor sperm, is put into a small vial that is attached to a catheter, which is then slowly inserted into the vagina and eventually into the uterus. The sperm sample is then pushed through into the uterus and the catheter removed. This way there is a higher chance of healthy and fertile sperm reaching the eggs. The procedure itself is relatively painless and most patients will only feel a slight pinch and/or some cramping. This treatment doesn’t last too long either as from the beginning, when you undergo ovarian stimulation, until the end only 12 to 14 days will have gone by, compared to some of the other treatments that take place over a minimum of over 30 days in some cases.

If you do require donor sperm then you can be sure that the sperm that you receive will be healthy and fertile as the clinic has access to a large sperm bank and all donors are tested thoroughly, both mentally and physically, to ensure that their sperm is the healthiest possible.

The medical director of Instituto Bernabeu is Dr. Rafael Bernabeu who likes to keep the clinic as a family clinic with members of his own family working at the clinic as well. He has over 40 years of experience in reproductive medicine and has been involved in a lot of important milestones in the IVF community during that time. In fact, Dr. Bernabeu achieved the first baby born from IVF treatment in the Valencian community, which occured in 1987. He was also responsible for the first pregnancy in Spain with the use of microinjecting spermatids in 1985, as well as the first baby in the world to be born free of hereditary blindness in 2004, and the first baby born free of Marfan Syndrome in 2006. These achievements show that Dr. Rafael Bernabeu is a truly accomplished and experienced specialist, and is definitely a man whom you can trust with your treatment.
