Egg Donor Selection at Barcelona IVF

The donors need to be between 18 and 35, be in good health both physically and mentally, and be free of any hereditary family illnesses that can pass on to the eggs.

This clinic and its facilities is brilliant, absolutely efficient in all aspects relevant to IVF treatments and guidance from the beginning until the end. The Best Clinic in our experience and we tried some! Straight away Dr Olivares and his team paid good attention to our case, which was very difficult. We felt at ease during the whole journey, the communication and guidance so clear, all uncertainties resolved and questions answered quite immediately with the necessary actions taken too. They work very precisely and close to the patients’ needs. The preparations were very clearly planned out. Really all ran so smoothly, they cater for couples living abroad in relation to time for flights, attendance, all is thought of, so one does not have to go over often and can book well in advance, so practical. In relation to individual needs, this clinic listened very well to their patients and adapted accordingly. We are most grateful and content with our little son! It is magic to be part of a miracle. Thank you so very much indeed guys in Barcelona IVF clinic! Keep up the excellent work!!

Thanks to Dr. Raul Olivares and team, we are about to enjoy our first Christmas as parents. A true miracle. We had spent 8yrs battling infertility at 3 different clinics in UK and Italy without success. Following extensive research, we chose Barcelona IVF and, more specifically Dr Raul Olivares, to try for one last time. It was the best decision we ever made. Thank you to the whole team for giving us the ultimate gift through your expertise, hard work and genuine care. We will be forever grateful.
