In 2024, IERA carried out around 250 fertility treatment cycles, including approximately 150 IVF cycles with patients’ own eggs and 35 egg donation cycles. This smaller number of treatments gives the clinic a more personal and calm feel. IERA is not a large “factory-style” clinic where patients can feel like one of many. Instead, the medical team has more time to get to know each patient, look carefully at their situation, and explain the options clearly.
IERA Lisboa offers access to immunology, urology, and genetics consultations, ensuring care from a multidisciplinary team.
Every case is reviewed individually. The doctors consider the possible causes of infertility, the patient’s age, medical history, and any previous treatments before recommending the most suitable next steps. Patients also receive realistic information about their estimated chances of success, so they can make informed decisions with more clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
If you don't want to fall into the IVF success rates trap, ask the clinic about your individual prognosis based on your age, medical history, previous treatments and infertility diagnosis.
Get your IVF success chances reviewed by the experts from IERA Lisboa Quironsalud
IERA Lisboa offers IVF treatment with patients’ own eggs, with no waiting time to begin treatment. The clinic has experience in IVF with own eggs and provides detailed testing and diagnostics to better understand each patient’s fertility situation. This helps the medical team choose the most suitable treatment plan and improve the chances of success where possible.
For qualifying patients, ovarian PRP and endometrial PRP treatments are also available. These may be considered when the aim is to support ovarian function or improve the condition of the endometrium before IVF treatment.
For women with repeated implantation failure or repeated miscarriages, PGT-A may also be discussed. In Portugal, PGT-A is available for women aged 37 or older.
You should know that egg donors in Portugal are carefully selected according to legal and medical requirements. Donors must be between 18 and 34 years old, in good physical and mental health, and have no known history of genetic risk. Before being accepted as donors, they undergo a detailed assessment. This includes genetic risk evaluation, screening for infectious diseases, a general gynaecological examination, and a full hormonal study. These checks help the medical team confirm that donation is safe and appropriate.
At IERA, egg donors are matched manually, not by AI. The team considers your preferred phenotype and blood type, using available photos of both the patient and the donor to support the matching process. Patients may receive information such as the donor’s phenotype, blood type, age, and profession, if requested. There is no waiting time for egg donation treatment.
For sperm donation, patients can either ask IERA to select a suitable donor or choose a donor directly from partner cryobanks, such as CRYOS or European Sperm Bank. The donor must be approved by IERA before purchase. Patients can access the donor information available through the cryobank, except adult photos.

At IERA Lisboa each patient is guided by a patient care coordinator, who helps organise the treatment process and coordinates communication with the medical, nursing, and laboratory teams.
When you contact IERA Lisboa, you will be assisted by Leandro Coelho, a patient coordinator with 10 years of experience in international patient care. He helps coordinate your next steps and works closely with IERA’s ESHRE-certified nursing and laboratory team to provide clear answers, including to more technical questions. Contact is available every day from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
All necessary tests can be completed on-site at the clinic, including sperm analysis, blood tests, and ultrasound scans. For patients from the United Kingdom, who need to arrange tests in the UK, IERA also collaborates with Enhanced Fertility for testing. Genetic testing can be arranged using saliva kits shipped directly to the patient’s address.
The clinic is currently developing a partnership with a UK institution to further support patients from the United Kingdom. Due to Portuguese law, medication cannot be shipped directly to patients, but the clinic supports patients in understanding the available options for obtaining medication safely and legally.
IERA Lisboa offers psychological support for patients going through fertility treatment. The clinic understands that infertility can be emotionally difficult, so patients can ask for support at any stage of their journey. When needed, patients may also complete a simple questionnaire to help identify anxiety or emotional stress and decide whether a first psychology consultation would be helpful.
At Iera Quirónsalud, we know that every family is different and each requires a tailored solution.
“IERA Lisboa’s mission is to offer transparent, state-of-the art, closed‑budget fertility care. We make the latest technology available for all at no additional cost, like time‑lapse incubation and monitoring for every IVF cycle. Each department (Admission, Clinical, Nurse and Embryology teams) maintains a close and direct contact with the patients during the different phases of the treatment, caring for each patient with devotion. As a team, we embrace their journey, providing warmth, presence, and unwavering dedication. With science, empathy, hope and inclusiveness, we honour couples, women’s couples, single mothers, and families of every kind and from every location, nurturing trust and deep emotional safety throughout their path to parenthood.”
I have had great experiences at IERA. I most often see Dr Eduardo and nurse Ana Sofia. It is truly a pleasure to work with them both. They are kind, compassionate, supportive, and just generally nice people to be around. I never thought I’d say this about a fertility clinic – but I actually look forward to my appointments!
Dr Eduardo is very knowledgeable, and communicates information clearly and directly. He seems to genuinely care very much about his patients. Nurse Ana Sofia is a wonderful supplement – she is warmhearted, easy-going, and thorough in her work. The two together take a stressful situation and create a warm, calm, laidback environment while providing quality care.

We had a really beautiful and positive experience at IERA clinic. The whole team, from reception to nurses, embryologists and doctors avec very human, kind and empathetic. They carefully listen to your needs and make the process as good at it can be. We want to thank the nurses Sofia and Telma for their very gentle care and positive spirit, the embryologist Dr Mafalda for her kindness and very clear explanations, Ana for always welcoming us with a smile at the reception desk and helping out on the phone, and finally to Dr Ana and her assistant Susana for thinking along with us and keeping the spirit up!

For us, IERA is one of the best fertility clinics in Portugal. I have endometriosis and for 4 years I underwent treatments to get pregnant, an unsuccessful IVF… the despair and the desire to give up were there…
Last year we sought help at this clinic and began to be followed by Dr Ana Aguiar who, in our opinion, is an excellent 5-star doctor, an incredible woman, always available, she helped us deal with fears and anxieties throughout the process… along with her assistant. Excellent high-level nursing team, always with a smile and comfort for us.
In November, the positive result finally arrived and we are almost parents, we were successful right from the first IVF treatment. It was the best choice we made in having me followed at IERA, I have no words to thank them. I advise anyone who wants to start treatments to go to this clinic. Thank you so muchReviewed by Lucia Santos
