Instituto de Reproduccion de la Marina Alta IREMA

I'd like to start off by saying - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IREMA. My husband and I had tried IUIs, IVFs across doctors in Singapore and India and went through miscarriages. We literally had zero hope until we were recommended to speak with Dr Terrado by one of the top gynaecs in Argentina and we are SO SO glad we reached out to Dr Terrado and Brigida. They had the time and patience to answer ALL our questions (and we had a LOT of questions). We were well cared for throughout our treatment and we conceived in the first IVF/ embryo transfer attempt. I am two weeks away from delivering and till date Brigida follows up so kindly on my health and well being. Dr Terrado and the embryologist are very experienced and I would say just go to IREMA and look nowhere else! Thank you so so so much Dr Terrado, Brigida and the entire IREMA team for helping us realise our dream!

Two pregnancies after embryo transfer on the first attempt – 100% recommendation!nnThanks to Irema and the team I am pregnant with my second baby and I am absolutely happy!!!nAbout 15 months after the birth of my daughter (also an „Irema Baby“) I had an embryo transfer (this time Kryo-frozen for about 1,5 years) and it again was successful on the first attempt!nnI am grateful to Irema management, thatthis was enabled, although I developed a gestosis in my previous pregnancy. For a responsible progress of the pregnancy, I am examined every 2 weeks at the local German gynecologist, and so far even in the 30th week of pregnacy no gestosis appeared and all the Ultrasonic examinations showed no problems, and indicate, that in a few weeks I can give birth to a healthy child. Also my daughter is now a completely healthy, happy, lively, intelligent and pretty little girl, who I deeply love.nnA nice side effect: This time I embedded the Irema treatment in a vacation at a nearby coastal town, which was great place to be – also for my daughter to play in the sand.nnIn summary: I can 100% recommend the treatment in Irema!!! The fact, that I returned to Irema for the second child is a statement itself. After the positive experience with the first embryo transfer, I did not hesitate a second before the decision to be treated again here. The personel is very, very friendly - in fact I was not only taken care of during the treatment, but also before and after that. The biological and medical services are very professional.nnThe birth of my daughter was the abolute highlight of my life and the decision for the 2 babies was the best in my life. Thanks to Irema to turn that into reality!!!.

When my husband and I realised we needed help conceiving, we turned to Irema in Beniarbeig.nOur experience was that we were treated kindly and considerately and we always felt comfortable to ask questions. The team clearly know what they are doing and this helped put our minds at ease through what can be an emotional journey.nnFurthermore, not every medical practitioner has the warmest bedside manner/ people skills but everybody at Irema was so friendly and warm that we felt totally supported all the way through our journey. To me this is a very big thing.nnFortunately, we have had a very successful outcome, and we are so very grateful to Dr Guillermo, Brígida, Ana and the entire team at Irema Beniarbeig. But even if we were still on this journey, I’d be glad we were going through it with them. Thank you Irema - we cannot recommend you enough!.

My husband and I faced challenges conceiving naturally, which led us to pursue IVF. We initially tried a few cycles with my own eggs at a clinic in Melbourne, Australia, but both attempts were unsuccessful as the embryos stopped developing due to my condition.nWe then looked into the option of using donor eggs, but the process in Melbourne was complex. One of the regulations requires the child to be informed they were conceived via an egg donor, which we weren't entirely comfortable with. This prompted my husband to explore options abroad, and that’s how we discovered IREMA. After reading positive reviews and thoroughly researching the clinic, we reached out, and Brigida was our first point of contact. She was extremely kind and informative, and after gathering the necessary details, we arranged a video consultation with her and Dr. Terrado.nBefore our meeting, I researched Dr. Terrado and found that he is a highly regarded IVF specialist with a wealth of online resources and positive feedback. During our initial consultation, we felt an immediate connection with Brigida and Dr. Terrado. They answered all of our questions with patience and without any pressure, unlike some other clinics we had consulted in different countries. They gave us the time and space to make our decision without feeling rushed.nAfter choosing IREMA, Brigida guided us through the entire process with exceptional care and professionalism. We felt confident and reassured throughout, thanks to her constant support. Brigida's attentiveness was remarkable, as she stayed in regular contact even before our trip to Spain, making sure everything was going smoothly. Her ability to build a strong rapport with patients is truly special.nUpon arriving at IREMA, we were warmly greeted by Anna at the reception, whose friendly smile instantly made us feel at home. Meeting Brigida in person was like reconnecting with a close friend, and her warmth and care melted away any anxiety we had. We knew at that moment that we had made the right decision. Dr. Terrado also made us feel at ease during our consultations. He explained everything in detail, answering all our questions and making sure we were comfortable with each step.nUsing donor eggs, we were fortunate to have four high-quality embryos reach the blastocyst stage. We traveled to Spain for the embryo transfer, and two days later, we returned to Australia. Brigida continued to check in on us throughout the process. Unfortunately, our first embryo transfer did not result in a successful pregnancy, which was heartbreaking. However, Brigida and Dr. Terrado were incredibly supportive. They scheduled a video call to explain that everything had been done correctly and that sometimes, despite best efforts, the embryo just doesn’t attach.nSix months later, after allowing my body to recover, we decided to try again. We still had three good-quality embryos remaining and felt optimistic. The second cycle, which we started in April 2024, felt even smoother than the first. Everything progressed as expected, from the initial scans in Australia to our arrival in Spain. After the embryo transfer, Dr. Terrado once again provided clear guidance, advising us to be patient while awaiting the test results.nOn June 5th, we went to a pathology clinic in Melbourne for the blood test. The following day, we received the news we had been waiting for—our test was positive! It was a surreal moment, and we were overjoyed to know that our dream of becoming parents was finally coming true.nNow, at six months pregnant, I continue to stay in touch with Brigida, who provides advice and support throughout my pregnancy. Her care and attention have been invaluable to us throughout this journey.nWe are beyond grateful to the entire team at IREMA for their incredible care and support. If I could give a million stars, I would. If you choose IREMA, rest assured that you will be in the best possible hands. They will guide you through every step of the process with compassion, professionalism, and unwavering support, even beyond the embryo transfer..

Thanks to the outstanding hard work, commitment and support from everyone at Irema my wife and I finally realised our dream of becoming parents to a beautiful, healthy daughter. We felt exceptionally well cared for throughout our treatment, from our initial consultation in UK, from to our our first visit to the clinic to the last.nnWith each cycle we saw continuous improvement in the results and through the expertise of all at the clinic, we were finally able to be successful where two UK based private clinics had failed.nnEqually important as the expert treatment, is the genuine care that everyone had for us throughout. The staff really care about not just ensuring that everything is being done to help you have a child, but that your emotional and mental well-being are equally cared for. They are there for you around the clock, even at weekends to answer questions and offer advice and support.nnThank you so much to all at Irema, you really are miracle workers!

I’m now 30 weeks pregnant after my 1st cycle awaiting my ladybundle! A huge Thank you to Dr. Fernando Hernantez and all Irema team for turning my dream into a real thing! Those tiny booties love to kick me from inside, I feel them... And I am so thrilled as every week those tiny booties become plus size (soon there will be two pointe shoes inside)! Thank you, dear team!

I asked what tests I should undergo and is there something…I can just, well, skip. Dr. Fernando Hernantez explained everything what is essential in testing and what is not so crucial. After I got the results, I spoke to him about the medications and the side effects as I had Quincke’s edema three years ago so I could be allergic to the meds. He scheduled for me two blood tests to investigate what will be if I start these meds. We crossed out those medications that could lead to Quincke’s edema and started the mild stimulation. After the retrieval, I asked him about the most perfect techniques to make my tiny bundle feeling loved and cared. He proposed assisted hatching to help my baby to hatch outside and increase the implantation chances. And mock ET (ET is “embryo transfer”) to get navigated through the embryo launching prior to actual embryo transfer. And we did it!

Here, at Irema everything was different. From the first moment I was here, everything was so amazing! I was cordially greeted by Frederica at the Reception (she is very, very, very sweet). After that, I was warmly met by Dr. Javier Martinez. You know, sometimes shining eyes, warm smile and cordial conversation is everything. Literally everything. We were talking and talking about all treatment options, after that I was totally amazed when Dr. Javier Martinez told me that we can “look around” and make a small excursion around the clinic. He showed me the embryolab, we greeted together Dr. Fernando Hernantez and I caught a glimpse of first embryo debut! Surely, I didn’t enter the lab but I stood with Dr. Fernando Hernantez and he explained to me everything about embryo creation event. I felt that everything he did for me was so welcoming. I never thought that I could find the person who would be so sympathetic and so perfect listener.

I was so anxious every time I entered the new fertility clinic. In three clinics I faced such a coldness. No sympathy, just: “Let’s start with scheduling tests for Wednesday and don’t forget to pay fees today or tomorrow!” “Yes, we can start the IVF cycle in two weeks. Medications are standard. We don’t have minimum stimulation protocols but be sure, the protocols I propose you are trusted and perfect for you. Tests should be done, and blood work every time you are here as we need to manage the situation. What? Sensitive vessels? There will be too many syringes, and your delicate vessels, well, try to cope with your fair and bruises.”

In one clinic I entered the office of the RE and stayed in the doorstep for ten minutes waiting for her to finish the conversation with her lower. She glanced at me three times, and I saw such contempt in those huge dark eyes. After that, she irritably said: “Hello. Five more minutes, I want to drink my cappuccino. I will call you, and close the door?”

Dear IREMA Team, thank you! I was so nervous when choosing a fertility clinic. No, not just nervous, I was a real bundle of nerves. Everything was so confusing at the very beginning. I was googling and googling the information about the treatments, pre–treatment tests, techniques they are using, fertility medications, prenatal vitamins, and many, many other things.

I was really overwhelmed to know that the IVF cycles are different. There are mini–IVF cycles with minimal ovarian stimulation protocols, there are IVF cycles that have flexible treatment protocols, needle–free IVF cycles for the needlefobes, IVF cycles for the extreme cases when the stimulation is very intensive and the IVF cycles that can be started, after that canceled and started again. I designed my “Clinics’ list.” I listed there all clinics with the treatments they offer and called to schedule the consultations with RE (by the way, RE is “Reproductive Endocrinologist abbreviation)
