June 20th marks Yellow Day, known as the happiest day of the year. According to psychology experts, this date brings together several conditions that promote emotional well-being: pleasant temperatures, longer daylight hours, the proximity of vacation time, and an overall more positive atmosphere. But for those who’ve spent time yearning to become parents — facing treatments, negative results, or complex diagnoses — happiness can feel distant. At Ingenes, we’d like to invite you to see this day differently: what if today is the first day of the rest of your story? What Does Yellow Day Represent? The color yellow is associated with energy, light, joy, and new beginnings. It’s no coincidence that Yellow Day falls at the end of spring and the beginning of summer — a season when not only fields bloom, but also plans, dreams, and opportunities. What if, on this June 20th, you decided to take a step toward what you long for the most: having a baby? Yellow Day is an invitation to take that step you’ve been putting off — not because you don’t want it, but because fear, frustration, or uncertainty may have held you back. Happiness Can Also Mean Knowing You’re Doing Everything for Your Dream At Ingenes, we’ve heard thousands of stories. Some are filled with hope from the beginning. Others are marked by years of failed attempts, tough diagnoses, fertility cycles without results, or the feeling that time is running out and options are disappearing. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that happiness can also mean choosing not to give up — seeking new alternatives, exploring what today’s science can do for you, and allowing yourself to believe again. Because motherhood and fatherhood don’t always arrive the way we planned. But that doesn’t mean they can’t arrive. A Date, a Reason to Start Again If you woke up today with doubt, fear, or the feeling that your attempts to have a baby haven’t worked… we want you to know: it’s normal to feel that way, and you’re far from alone. But we also want to remind you that you have options. Today, assisted reproduction treatments have advanced to the point where even women with low ovarian reserve, men with severe fertility issues, or same-sex couples have real chances of building a family. And if you’re not sure where to start, this Yellow Day might just be the small starting point that changes everything. What Makes Ingenes Different? At Ingenes, we’ve spent over 20 years helping make the dreams of thousands of families come true in Mexico and the United States. We don’t just perform treatments — we walk alongside you with a human, scientific, and emotional approach. Some of our key differentiators include: We want you to know you’re not alone. At Ingenes, we don’t just treat bodies — we care for emotions, stories, and hopes. Conclusion: This Yellow Day Could Be Just the Beginning Fertility isn’t measured only in eggs or sperm. It’s also measured in determination, hope, and decisions. Yellow Day is just a reminder that happiness may be found in the very next step you’re about to take. You might not have that baby in your arms yet. But maybe you already have the most important thing: the desire to keep going. At Ingenes, we’re here to walk with you, answer your questions, design a plan that fits you, and help you turn Yellow Day into more than just a date. Ready to take the next step? Schedule your initial consultation. Today might be the day your story as a mom or dad begins.

In June, we celebrate Father’s Month—a time not only to honor those already experiencing fatherhood, but also to shed light on a fundamental topic that often goes unnoticed: male reproductive health. As part of this celebration, it’s also essential to recognize men who wish to become fathers, regardless of their sexual orientation, marital status, or personal circumstances. Today, the desire to become a dad is just as valid as the desire to become a mom, and there are options to make that dream a reality. Talking About Fertility Is Also a Man’s Issue For years, fertility has been almost exclusively associated with women’s health. However, 40% of infertility cases are due to male factors, another 40% to female factors, and the remaining 20% to mixed or unknown causes. This means that half of the difficulties in having a child may be directly related to male reproductive health.Some of the most common issues include: Evaluating Male Fertility: A Necessary Step The good news is that many of these factors can be detected through simple tests such as a semen analysis, hormone tests, or genetic studies. These evaluations help assess sperm health and, together with a specialist, create a plan to increase the chances of achieving pregnancy.At Ingenes, fertility evaluations include both partners (when applicable) or are adapted to the needs of single patients or same-sex couples, recognizing the many ways to build a family. Being a Single Dad: A Valid and Possible Dream The desire to become a father doesn’t have to depend on being in a relationship. Many single men—both heterosexual and gay—decide they want to have a child and wonder: is it possible? The answer is yes.Thanks to advances in reproductive medicine and the legality of surrogacy in Mexico, single men can access a comprehensive treatment that includes: Fertility and Lifestyle: What Men Should Know In addition to medical causes, there are lifestyle habits that can directly impact male fertility: The Importance of Emotional Support Seeking reproductive help can be an emotionally charged process for men. Social pressure, stigma, and the lack of safe spaces to talk about male infertility make it harder for many to express their desire to become fathers or their frustrations.At Ingenes, we believe emotional support is just as important as medical treatment. We have specialists in reproductive psychology who help our patients process their emotions, resolve doubts, and make informed decisions with calm and empathy. This June, Let’s Celebrate the Possibility of Becoming a Dad During Father’s Month, we celebrate those who already have their children in their arms—and those who are still waiting with open hearts. Let’s talk about male infertility without fear, recognize the different paths to fatherhood, and bring science closer to those who still believe they’re out of options.Having a child is not a privilege—it’s a right. And at Ingenes, we work every day to make that right a reality for them, too.

Every year, during the third week of June, International Men’s Health Week is celebrated — a time to reflect on men’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This observance, created to raise awareness about health conditions that affect the male population, also invites us to talk about a topic often surrounded by myths and silence: male reproductive health. At Ingenes, we know that fertility isn’t a women-only issue. In 50% of infertility cases in couples, there is a male factor involved—either on its own or in combination with other issues. That’s why we believe this week is a key opportunity to break taboos, provide clear information, and open paths toward real solutions. Why Is It Important to Talk About Men’s Health? Traditionally, it’s been assumed that men don’t need to see a doctor unless there’s an obvious symptom. However, this culture of silence has led many health conditions — including those affecting fertility — to go undiagnosed or untreated. In particular, male reproductive health is one of the least explored areas, despite having a significant impact on the family-building goals of millions of people. In our experience, many men are unaware of: Common Causes of Male Infertility Male infertility can stem from various causes. The most common include: How Can a Man Know If He Has a Fertility Issue? The simplest way to begin evaluating male fertility is with a semen analysis. This test analyzes a semen sample and provides key information such as: If abnormalities are found, further tests can be done—such as hormonal panels, genetic screenings, or imaging—to determine the root cause. At Ingenes, we offer complete male fertility assessments, always guided by a team of assisted reproduction specialists. Male Fertility and Age: Does It Matter? While a woman’s age tends to get more attention, growing research confirms that a man’s age also plays a role in achieving a healthy pregnancy. As men age: Because of this, preserving male fertility can also be a valuable option in certain cases. Can Male Fertility Be Preserved? Yes. The most common method is sperm cryopreservation, which involves collecting and freezing a semen sample for future use. This can be especially useful for: At Ingenes, we have specialized sperm banks and offer safe, reliable, and accessible preservation protocols. Treatments for Men Diagnosed with Infertility The good news is that most cases of male infertility are treatable. Depending on the cause, the specialist may recommend: The Man’s Role on the Journey to Pregnancy Beyond medical aspects, it’s essential to understand that emotional health and male involvement are just as important in fertility treatments. At Ingenes, we encourage men to take an active role throughout the process, and we offer psychological support and emotional guidance. Many men go through this experience in silence. That’s why creating support networks and informative spaces like this blog is key to helping more people feel empowered to seek help. During International Men’s Health Week: Show Up for Yourself This week, we invite you to break the silence, prioritize your health, and learn about your fertility. Getting tested is not a sign of weakness — it’s a sign of commitment to your life and your dreams. If you’ve been trying to have a baby without success, if you’re unsure about your fertility, or if you want to take care of your long-term health… now is the time. Male reproductive health has been ignored for too long. International Men’s Health Week is the perfect reminder that fertility is also a men’s issue. At Ingenes, we’re here to support you, inform you, and provide real solutions. With advanced technology, medical expertise, and a comprehensive approach, we help you take the next step toward fatherhood. Taking care of yourself is part of building the future you dream of.

Every year on June 4, the world observes World Fertility Day, a date that seeks to raise awareness of the challenges millions of people face in trying to have a child, as well as to promote access to information, support, and real medical solutions for those who want to build a family. At Ingenes, this day is more than just a symbolic commemoration. It’s an opportunity to speak openly about a topic that still carries stigma, silence, and misinformation. It’s also a moment to remember that there is hope, there are options, and that every story deserves to be treated with respect, science, and empathy. Fertility is health, too For years, fertility has been treated as a secondary issue in reproductive health. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized infertility as a medical condition that affects at least 1 in 6 people worldwide. Talking about fertility means talking about physical, hormonal, emotional, and social health. And this applies to both women and men. Infertility is not just a “female” issue; in fact, causes are typically divided into: That’s why a complete fertility assessment should include both partners (when applicable) to offer an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment. What do we mean by infertility? Infertility is defined as when a person or couple has been trying to conceive for more than 12 months without success. For women over the age of 35, this period is reduced to 6 months, since ovarian reserve may be more compromised. There are different types of infertility: Each type of infertility requires a different approach—this is where reproductive medicine can truly make a difference. Why do we observe World Fertility Day? This day serves several purposes: At Ingenes, we proudly join this initiative because we know what it means to wait, to try, to feel frustrated, and to believe again. With over 20 years of experience, we’ve supported thousands of people who once believed there was no path forward—until they discovered there was. Common causes of infertility World Fertility Day is also an important opportunity to educate and inform about the factors that can make conception more difficult. Some of the most common causes include: In women: In men: Other key factors include stress, being overweight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, exposure to toxins, and certain medical treatments (like chemotherapy). When should you seek help? Many people delay visiting a fertility clinic out of fear, lack of knowledge, or stigma. However, the sooner an evaluation is done, the better the chances of success. You should consider seeing a specialist if: Available treatment options At Ingenes, we offer a wide range of assisted reproduction treatments, tailored to each person’s needs. These include: Every story is different, and every treatment must be unique. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions, but there are viable, effective, and scientifically backed options. Fertility is also emotional health One of the greatest lessons we’ve learned on this journey is that fertility cannot be treated with science alone. It must include emotional support, psychological understanding, and a human approach that sees the pain of waiting, the fear of failure, and the deep desire to have a child. At Ingenes, emotional support is integrated into all of our programs, because we know that no body can fully heal if the heart and mind are not cared for as well. What do we do at Ingenes on World Fertility Day? Each year, on this day: And most importantly, we reaffirm our commitment to never give up, because every attempt is worth it, every dream matters, and every baby born at Ingenes is a story of science, love, and perseverance. Conclusion: Today, we celebrate possibility World Fertility Day is more than just a date. It’s a reminder that you are not alone. That asking for help is not giving up, but taking control. That there are thousands of people in your same situation. And that real solutions exist—with real results. At Ingenes, we’re ready to listen to you, to understand your story, and to offer a plan that fits your dreams, your timeline, and your body. Because the desire to have a child is valid, legitimate, and deeply human. Today, more than ever, we celebrate fertility as a right—and as a hope. Schedule your appointment. Your story can start today.

Infertility is a multifactorial condition that affects millions of people around the world. Among the most well-known causes are hormonal imbalances, structural abnormalities of the reproductive system, or low-quality eggs and sperm. However, there is a lesser-explored but equally relevant component: the immunological factor in infertility. In this blog post, we explain what the immunological factor is, how it can interfere with the reproductive process, what its symptoms and diagnostic options are, and most importantly, what treatments exist to address it and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. The Immune System and Fertility: A Delicate Relationship The immune system is designed to protect the body against foreign agents such as viruses, bacteria, or toxins. However, in some cases, this system can react inappropriately and attack elements that do not represent a real threat, including components of the reproductive system. In human reproduction, the embryo shares genetic material with the father, making it partially “foreign” to the maternal body. That’s why the woman’s immune system must “tolerate” the embryo during implantation and pregnancy. When this tolerance does not occur properly, an immune response may be triggered that prevents conception or causes recurrent miscarriages. What Is the Immunological Factor in Infertility? The immunological factor in infertility refers to a series of immune system disorders that interfere with the processes of fertilization, implantation, or embryo development. There are different types of immunological alterations that can affect fertility: 1. Presence of Antiphospholipid Antibodies These antibodies attack the phospholipids of cell membranes, including those of the embryo or placenta. They are associated with recurrent spontaneous miscarriages and implantation failures. 2. Overactive Natural Killer (NK) Cells NK cells are designed to destroy abnormal or infected cells, but in some cases, they may attack the embryo or affect implantation if present in elevated numbers or with high cytotoxic activity. 3. Autoimmune Diseases Conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus or autoimmune thyroid disease can disrupt the immune balance needed for conception and pregnancy. 4. Immunological Incompatibility Between the Couple Although less common, some studies suggest that certain pairs of highly similar HLA genes between partners may hinder implantation due to a lack of necessary “tolerance” immune signals. When to Suspect an Immunological Factor? Not all infertility cases are related to immune problems, but there are specific situations in which it is recommended to evaluate this possibility: Diagnosing the Immunological Factor in Infertility Diagnosis should be carried out by specialists in reproductive immunology and fertility. Some tests that may be ordered include: Treatment for the Immunological Factor in Infertility Once an immunological factor is detected, personalized treatments can be applied to modulate the immune response without compromising the patient’s overall health. 1. Immunotherapy with Corticosteroids Drugs like prednisone can reduce excessive immune activity, especially in women with high NK cell levels or autoimmune diseases. 2. Heparin and Aspirin Used to treat antiphospholipid syndrome and reduce the risk of thrombosis and embryo loss. 3. Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG) These modulate the immune system to prevent it from attacking the embryo. Used in severe cases or those with a history of multiple failures. 4. Intralipids A more accessible alternative to IVIG. These lipid emulsions help decrease NK cell activity. 5. Embryo Transfer During the “Immune Window” Endometrial analysis identifies the ideal time for embryo implantation, reducing the chance of immune rejection. The Importance of a Multidisciplinary Approach At Ingenes, we approach each infertility case comprehensively, including immunological evaluation when clinical history suggests it. Our team includes specialists in immunology, gynecology, embryology, and reproductive psychology, allowing us to create a completely personalized treatment plan. Conclusion The immunological factor in infertility represents one of the most complex challenges, but also one of the most treatable with the right approach. With the support of a specialized center and the correct treatment, many people are able to fulfill their dream of having a child. If you’ve experienced unexplained pregnancy losses or if previous treatments haven’t worked, it may be time to evaluate the immunological component. At Ingenes, we’re here to listen to you, understand your story, and help you achieve what you long for most: your baby.

Every May 28, the world comes together to commemorate the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, a date that not only sheds light on the medical inequalities many women face, but also demands their right to comprehensive, dignified, scientific, and empathetic care. At Ingenes, this date is not just a symbolic commemoration—it represents our daily commitment to every woman who walks through our doors seeking an opportunity, an answer, or a new beginning. It is a chance to reaffirm that reproductive health is health, and that every story deserves to be treated with humanity and knowledge. Comprehensive Health: Beyond a Diagnosis Talking about women’s health cannot be limited to statistics, clinical studies, or medical treatments. It means recognizing the individual story behind each patient, her emotional context, her fears, and her desires. The Emotional Weight That Can’t Be Seen Many women arrive at consultations carrying years of frustration, unanswered questions, or poorly communicated diagnoses. Some have been ignored, others have received inadequate treatments, or have simply been treated as numbers within a protocol. At Ingenes, we firmly believe that comprehensive health begins with listening without judgment, validating every emotion, and building a medical plan based on trust. Because the body and mind are deeply connected, and no treatment can fully succeed without considering the emotional well-being of the patient. Reproductive Health Is Also Women’s Health Access to fertility and assisted reproduction services should not be seen as a luxury or a privilege for a few. It is an essential part of a woman’s health and reproductive autonomy. Realities That Deserve Visibility Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who have been underestimated for years.Patients facing endometriosis who’ve had to hear that their pain is “normal.”Cancer survivors who lost their fertility without knowing there were options to preserve it.Single women who want to start a family without a partner.Same-sex female couples seeking access to methods like ROPA without being questioned. All these stories are part of daily life at Ingenes. And all of them deserve to be heard, cared for, and supported with science and respect. Infertility: A Medical Condition, Not a Fault In the context of this day, it is also urgent to continue demystifying infertility. It is not a sentence, a punishment, or something to be ashamed of. It is a treatable medical condition that can have multiple causes, many of which are preventable or manageable with the right approach. Infertility affects at least 1 in 6 people worldwide according to the WHO. Yet many women still face it in silence, for fear of being judged or because they feel they must carry the responsibility of the process alone. Technology and Support: When Science Is on Your Side In our 20 years of experience, we’ve learned that reproductive health is not just about achieving pregnancy, but about doing it in an informed, safe, and emotionally supported way. At Ingenes, every patient receives a personalized plan that includes: Complex Cases, Real Solutions Our experience with women who have undergone failed treatments at other centers, with premature ovarian failure, low ovarian reserve, or oncological history, has taught us that the combination of science and empathy transforms realities. Today We Celebrate Your Right to Choose This May 28, we raise our voices for all the women who have been ignored, underestimated, or misdiagnosed. For those who’ve had to explain more than once their decision to become mothers… or not to. Because the right to decide over one’s own body also includes motherhood, when it comes from a deep desire and not social pressure. Every Path Is Valid If you want to wait, freeze your eggs, and go through other life stages first—you have the right.If you want to start a family without a partner—you have the right.If you’ve been trying for years and still haven’t lost hope—you deserve support and real solutions. What We Do at Ingenes to Care for Every Woman’s Health This International Day of Action for Women’s Health is also an opportunity to share what we do at Ingenes as part of our commitment: Conclusion: For You, for All Women’s health must be addressed with an integral, respectful, and empathetic approach. Because it’s not just about diagnoses—it’s about life decisions. Because the most effective medicine is the one that understands that the female body is not a machine, but a living story that deserves to be understood. At Ingenes, we are with you every step of the way. Not just as a fertility institute, but as a safe, reliable, and human space.Today we celebrate your right to be heard, supported, and respected. And we always will.

Every May 28, Nutrition Day is celebrated—a key date to reflect on the relationship between the food we eat and our health. Although we often associate nutrition with weight, energy, or the prevention of chronic diseases, we rarely talk about its fundamental role in fertility. In this blog post, we’ll explain how proper nutrition can improve your chances of achieving pregnancy, why at Ingenes we consider this aspect an essential part of every treatment, and what changes can make a difference when you’re trying to have a baby. Why does nutrition matter when we talk about fertility? Fertility doesn’t depend solely on the reproductive system. In fact, the ability to conceive is influenced by many other factors, including diet. The nutrients we consume directly affect hormonal function, the quality of eggs and sperm, uterine health, and metabolic balance. That’s why a poor diet can contribute to issues like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, hormonal imbalances, and ovulation disorders. In men, poor nutrition also impacts sperm quality, affecting motility, concentration, and morphology. What nutrients are related to fertility? 1. Folic Acid It’s not only important during pregnancy. Folic acid contributes to egg maturation and helps prevent neural tube defects in the baby. It also improves sperm quality.Sources: spinach, lentils, broccoli, avocado, fortified cereals. 2. Zinc In men, zinc is essential for sperm production. In women, it helps regulate the menstrual cycle and maintain hormone levels.Sources: lean meats, seafood, pumpkin seeds, nuts. 3. Omega-3 Helps reduce inflammation, improves uterine health, and supports ovulation. In men, it enhances sperm motility.Sources: fatty fish (salmon, sardines), nuts, flaxseed. 4. Iron An iron deficiency can alter ovulation. It’s crucial during pregnancy to prevent anemia.Sources: red meat, legumes, spinach, whole grains. 5. Antioxidants (vitamin C, E, and selenium) They help protect eggs and sperm from oxidative stress, a factor that deteriorates reproductive quality.Sources: citrus fruits, berries, peppers, almonds, sunflower seeds. How does a poor diet affect fertility? A diet high in sugar, saturated fats, processed foods, or low in essential nutrients can have multiple negative effects: At Ingenes, we evaluate each of these factors before starting any treatment. Nutrition and assisted reproductive treatments: is there an ideal diet? There is no one-size-fits-all diet, but there are nutritional recommendations adapted to the goal of conceiving. In patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), for example, diet can: Our specialists recommend, as a base, an approach similar to the Mediterranean diet: rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. What if I have PCOS or another condition related to infertility? In women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, or endometriosis, diet must be even more carefully controlled. PCOS It’s recommended to avoid glucose spikes, reduce refined carbohydrates, and prioritize low-glycemic index foods. Endometriosis Anti-inflammatory foods like fish, turmeric, ginger, and leafy greens can help manage symptoms. Hypothyroidism Iodine, selenium, and vitamin D are key. Foods that interfere with thyroid function should be avoided unless well cooked (like soy or excessive broccoli). Nutrition is also male fertility Forty percent of infertility cases involve male factors. A man’s diet matters too—especially if he’s going to be part of an IVF or artificial insemination treatment. A balanced diet improves: Avoiding alcohol, tobacco, processed meats, and fried foods is a basic step. In contrast, a diet rich in antioxidants can protect genetic material. What do we do at Ingenes to support your nutrition? At Ingenes, we understand that nutrition is part of the fertility treatment—not an external factor. That’s why: Nutrition Day: an opportunity to act May 28 is a reminder that nutrition affects much more than what we see in the mirror. It can be the difference between a successful treatment and a frustrating one. It can be the first step to achieving a healthy pregnancy. Taking care of your nutrition doesn’t mean going on a diet—it means nourishing your body with the nutrients it needs to be ready… and fertile. Conclusion: Nourishing the body to give life At Ingenes, we celebrate Nutrition Day by recognizing the power that food has over our bodies, our hormones, and our dreams. If you’re trying to have a baby, scheduling an appointment with our specialists is the first step toward finding the right plan for you. Science and nutrition are on your side. And at Ingenes, so are we.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most complex medical challenges faced by women of reproductive age. Although it is primarily associated with general health, its impact on fertility cannot be underestimated. For many women, receiving an ovarian cancer diagnosis not only means facing oncological treatment but also immediately considering how to protect their chances of having children in the future. In this blog, we will thoroughly explore how ovarian cancer can affect fertility, what options exist to preserve reproductive capacity, and how a specialized approach can radically change the maternity outlook for these women. What is Ovarian Cancer? Ovarian cancer originates when abnormal cells in the ovary begin to multiply uncontrollably. It can be of different types, with high-grade serous carcinoma being the most common. Early detection is difficult because symptoms are often vague or attributed to other causes, and current screening methods are limited. Therefore, many cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. Some risk factors include: However, ovarian cancer can also affect young women of reproductive age, adding an even more sensitive dimension to the diagnosis: the possibility of compromising their fertility. How Does Ovarian Cancer Affect Fertility? The impact on fertility can result from multiple factors: Each situation is unique and depends on the stage of cancer, the type of treatment needed, and the patient’s maternity wishes. Fertility Preservation Options Before Treatment When the diagnosis allows (meaning cancer does not require immediate intervention), there are options to preserve fertility before starting oncological treatment: 1. Egg Freezing This involves stimulating the ovaries to retrieve multiple eggs, which are then extracted and vitrified for future use. 2. Embryo Freezing If the woman has a partner or is willing to use a sperm donor, the eggs can be fertilized immediately and the resulting embryos frozen. 3. Ovarian Tissue Preservation An experimental technique involving the removal and freezing of ovarian tissue before treatment, which can later be reimplanted to restore ovarian function. Maternity Options After Treatment If fertility preservation was not possible before starting treatment or if the ovaries were damaged, there are still alternatives for achieving motherhood: 1. Use of Donated Eggs Egg donation is a safe and effective option for women who cannot use their own eggs. 2. Surrogacy When cancer treatment has affected the uterus or there is a risk of recurrence with pregnancy, a surrogate mother can be used. 3. Adoption Although it is not a direct medical solution, adoption is a legal and loving option for building a family after facing cancer. Fertility and Cancer Survival: Medical and Emotional Considerations Overcoming ovarian cancer involves a profound physical and emotional process. That’s why it is important to consider: Comprehensive support is key so that patients can navigate this journey with confidence and hope. The Role of a Specialized Fertility Center Having a team of assisted reproduction specialists is fundamental. Institutions like Ingenes offer: Each treatment must be adapted to the clinical and emotional situation of the patient, to offer not only the best chance of success but also a humane and respectful experience. What Should You Ask Your Doctor? If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and are concerned about your fertility, some key questions to ask include: Conclusion An ovarian cancer diagnosis changes life in many ways, but it does not mean the end of the dream of motherhood. Thanks to advances in reproductive medicine and fertility preservation programs, today there are more paths than ever for those facing this tough battle. If you or someone close to you is facing an ovarian cancer diagnosis, you are not alone. At Ingenes, we bring all our experience, technology, and human commitment to help you preserve and build the family you desire. Schedule a consultation and discover all the options that science and love for life have to offer you.

Argentinian singer María Becerra, 25, recently experienced another ectopic pregnancy, helping to break the stigma surrounding this condition—which can affect women of any age. At Ingenes, we support those going through this experience, offering both medical and emotional care. Learn what an ectopic pregnancy is, why it can recur, and what your options are. What Is an Ectopic Pregnancy and Why Can It Happen Again? An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tubes. This condition, which affects roughly 1 in 50 pregnancies, can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. In cases like María’s, who has experienced it twice, understanding the risk factors is key: previous ectopic pregnancies or pelvic infections, among others. María Becerra Sheds Light on a Common, Yet Rarely Discussed Issue The singer and songwriter was hospitalized following an emergency procedure that placed her life at risk. According to her family’s official statement, she is currently in intensive care but out of danger. Her experience brought attention to this serious complication, helping many women identify symptoms, seek help, and realize they are not alone. Common symptoms include: Timely intervention can save lives. Ingenes: Comprehensive Support for Women Facing This Condition At Ingenes, we’ve spent the last 20 years supporting women dealing with complex reproductive health issues like ectopic pregnancy. Our approach is not just medical—it’s also deeply human. We understand that loss or a difficult health experience requires emotional support, clear information, and concrete solutions to move forward. Our team includes experts in assisted reproduction, gynecology, and psychology who work together to provide you with personalized, integrated care. An ectopic pregnancy does not mean the end of your motherhood dreams. With proper monitoring and the right treatments, many women go on to conceive successfully. At Ingenes, we design personalized fertility solutions tailored to your medical history, age, and goals. Our commitment is to support you at every step—until you’re holding your baby in your arms. Raising Awareness, Offering Support, Sharing Knowledge Thanks to figures like María, conversations around conditions like ectopic pregnancy are becoming more common. At Ingenes, we believe in the power of these moments to spark necessary dialogue, offer helpful information, and provide compassionate support to those who need it most.

Infertility is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and can be due to a wide variety of factors. Among them, tubal factor infertility is one of the most common causes in women. This type of infertility occurs when the fallopian tubes are blocked, damaged, or absent, preventing the egg and sperm from meeting for fertilization. In this blog, we’ll explore the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for tubal factor infertility, as well as its relationship with other types such as uterine factor infertility, and how assisted reproductive treatment at an IVF clinic may be the right solution. What is Tubal Factor Infertility? Tubal factor infertility refers to difficulty achieving pregnancy due to problems in the fallopian tubes. These structures have the essential function of transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus and are the site where fertilization occurs. If these tubes are blocked, inflamed, or absent, this process is interrupted, significantly reducing the chances of natural pregnancy. Symptoms of Tubal Factor Infertility One of the biggest challenges of this condition is that, in many cases, it doesn’t present noticeable symptoms. Many women don’t discover they have issues with their tubes until they try to conceive without success. However, some signs may include: Common Causes of Tubal Factor Infertility There are various causes that can lead to tubal factor infertility: Connection with Uterine Factor Infertility Although tubal factor infertility is a cause on its own, it may often be present along with other types of infertility, such as uterine factor infertility. This type of infertility is due to abnormalities in the uterus that hinder embryo implantation or pregnancy development. Together, both conditions can complicate diagnosis and treatment, which is why it’s essential to go to a specialized clinic. Diagnosing Tubal Factor Infertility To diagnose this condition, a fertility specialist may use several tests: Treatments for Tubal Factor Infertility Surgery to Restore Tubal Function In some cases, when the damage is not severe, surgery can be performed to repair the tubes. However, this option depends on the extent of the damage and factors such as age and reproductive history. Assisted Reproductive Treatment When surgery is not viable or has not been effective, assisted reproductive treatment is the most recommended alternative. At an IVF clinic, in vitro fertilization (IVF) allows eggs to be fertilized outside the body and the embryo to be transferred directly into the uterus, bypassing the need for functional tubes. Egg Donation If, in addition to tubal factor infertility, there is also low ovarian reserve or compromised egg quality, egg donation may be an option. This alternative, available in many IVF clinics, significantly increases success rates. Emotional Considerations and Support The diagnosis of tubal factor infertility can be emotionally challenging. It’s important to have psychological and emotional support throughout the process. Many fertility clinics have multidisciplinary teams that offer emotional support, legal advice, and comprehensive guidance. When to Visit a Fertility Clinic?

Irregular periods can be a warning sign for many women trying to conceive. While some variation in cycle length is normal, persistent irregularities may indicate causes of infertility in women that affect ovulation and reduce the chances of conceiving naturally. In this article, we will explore the causes of infertility in women related to irregular periods, the possible treatments available, and how IVF fertility treatment can be an effective solution. What Is Considered an Irregular Period? A regular menstrual cycle usually lasts between 21 and 35 days, with minor variations between cycles. However, periods are considered irregular when: If a woman frequently experiences irregular periods, it is crucial to visit an infertility clinic to receive an accurate diagnosis and determine whether there are causes of infertility in women that require treatment. Causes of Irregular Periods and Their Impact on Fertility Irregular periods are often linked to hormonal imbalances or medical conditions that affect ovulation. The most common causes of infertility in women with irregular cycles include: 1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the leading causes of irregular periods and infertility. This hormonal disorder leads to excess androgen (male hormone) production, interfering with ovulation and causing menstrual irregularities. PCOS is strongly linked to ovarian causes of infertility, as the ovaries may produce multiple follicles without releasing a mature egg. Symptoms of PCOS: Irregular or absent menstrual cycles.Weight gain and insulin resistance.Acne or excessive hair growth. Treatment Options: Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise.Medications such as Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole to stimulate ovulation.IVF fertility treatment in more advanced cases. 2. Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) occurs when the ovaries stop functioning properly before age 40. This leads to irregular periods or no menstruation due to reduced estrogen production and lack of ovulation. This condition is a clear example of ovarian causes of infertility and may be treated through ovarian stimulation or IVF fertility treatment at infertility clinics. 3. Thyroid Disorders Both hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone production) and hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid hormones) can impact menstrual regularity. The thyroid plays a crucial role in hormone regulation, and imbalances can disrupt ovulation. 4. Chronic Stress and Extreme Weight Changes Chronic stress and extreme fluctuations in body weight can disrupt hormonal balance and halt ovulation. In these cases, stress reduction therapies and proper nutrition plans can help improve fertility. Diagnosing Irregular Periods and Infertility If a woman experiences irregular menstrual cycles and struggles to conceive, visiting an infertility clinic is the best approach for an accurate diagnosis. Common tests include:Hormone testing: Evaluating levels of FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones.Transvaginal ultrasound: Assessing the ovaries for cysts or abnormalities.Genetic testing: Especially in cases of premature ovarian insufficiency. Treatments for Infertility Caused by Irregular Periods Treatment options vary depending on the specific cause but commonly include: 1. Ovulation Induction Medications like Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole can help stimulate ovulation in women with PCOS or mild ovulatory issues. 2. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) This procedure may be helpful if ovulation can be induced with medication and the fallopian tubes are healthy. However, for more complex cases, IVF fertility treatment is usually recommended. 3. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) IVF is one of the most effective treatments for women with irregular periods and ovulatory problems. In this process, eggs are retrieved and fertilized in a laboratory before being transferred to the uterus. Infertility clinics offering IVF fertility treatment can integrate advanced techniques like Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), especially in cases of combined infertility factors, including male infertility. 4. Egg Donation For women with premature ovarian insufficiency, egg donation may be the best alternative within IVF fertility treatment. Conclusion Irregular periods can be an early indicator of causes of infertility in women, particularly when they disrupt ovulation. Identifying the issue early and visiting an infertility clinic is essential for receiving the appropriate treatment. If you have been trying to conceive without success and experience irregular menstrual cycles, IVF fertility treatment may offer the best chance of pregnancy. There are multiple options available to address ovarian causes of infertility, from medications to advanced assisted reproduction techniques.If you have concerns about your fertility, consult experts at infertility clinics and take control of your journey toward motherhood.

Age is one of the most significant factors affecting a woman’s fertility. As women age, the quantity and quality of their eggs naturally decline, reducing the likelihood of conception and increasing the chances of complications during pregnancy. However, with the right knowledge and proactive measures, women can take control of their reproductive health and plan their maternity effectively. How Age Affects Fertility Fertility is at its peak in a woman’s early 20s and gradually declines after the age of 30. By the time a woman reaches 35, her fertility starts to decline more rapidly, and after 40, conception becomes significantly more challenging. This is due to several factors, including: Despite these challenges, modern reproductive medicine offers various solutions to help women plan for a successful pregnancy at any stage of life. Planning for Maternity: Steps Women Can Take 1. Fertility Preservation Women who wish to delay motherhood due to personal or professional reasons can consider fertility preservation options such as: 2. Regular Fertility Assessments Understanding one’s fertility health is key to making informed decisions. Tests such as: 3. Healthy Lifestyle Choices Lifestyle plays a crucial role in fertility. Women can improve their reproductive health by: 4. Exploring Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) For women experiencing age-related fertility challenges, assisted reproductive technologies offer solutions such as: When to Seek Professional Help Women who are actively trying to conceive but facing difficulties should consider consulting a fertility specialist if: Seeking early guidance can make a significant difference in identifying potential barriers and finding the most effective treatment options. Conclusion Age is an important factor in fertility, but with the right planning, knowledge, and medical support, women can take control of their reproductive futures.

Infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples globally, making it a far more common challenge than many might think. Despite its prevalence, infertility remains a sensitive and often misunderstood topic. Understanding the potential causes of infertility can help alleviate some of the anxiety surrounding the process, while also providing a clearer path forward. This article will outline some of the most common infertility diagnoses for both men and women, explaining their causes, symptoms, and available treatment options. Infertility in Women Infertility in women can stem from a variety of conditions that impact ovulation, egg quality, or the reproductive organs. Below are some of the most frequently diagnosed causes: 1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility, affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. This hormonal disorder disrupts normal ovulation, often resulting in irregular or absent menstrual cycles. Additionally, women with PCOS may develop small cysts on their ovaries, although not all women with the condition will experience this symptom.Symptoms: Why It Causes Infertility:PCOS leads to an overproduction of androgens (male hormones), which interfere with the development and release of eggs during ovulation. Without regular ovulation, conception becomes difficult. Treatment Options: 2. Endometriosis Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. This condition affects about 10% of women globally and can cause pain, inflammation, and scar tissue, all of which may interfere with fertility.Symptoms: Why It Causes Infertility:Endometrial tissue can block the fallopian tubes, preventing the egg and sperm from meeting. In severe cases, it can also affect the ovaries, leading to the formation of cysts that impair egg quality. Treatment Options: 3. Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) DOR refers to a lower number or quality of eggs in the ovaries, which naturally occurs with age but can also result from genetic factors, medical conditions, or previous surgeries. Symptoms: Why It Causes Infertility:Fewer eggs mean fewer chances for successful fertilization and implantation. Egg quality is also critical, as chromosomal abnormalities increase with age. Treatment Options: Infertility in Men Male infertility accounts for nearly 40-50% of all infertility cases. The most common causes involve issues with sperm production, function, or delivery. 1. Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia) Oligospermia refers to a sperm count below the normal range, which is typically defined as fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Causes: Treatment Options: 2. Poor Sperm Motility (Asthenospermia) Even if sperm count is normal, poor motility (movement) can prevent sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg. Causes: Treatment Options: 3. Genetic Abnormalities Genetic factors can impair sperm production, leading to infertility. Treatment Options: Unexplained Infertility Sometimes, despite thorough testing, no clear cause of infertility is found. This accounts for 10-15% of infertility cases. Treatment Options: When to Seek Help Empowering Your Journey Infertility is a challenge, but with the right support and medical advances, parenthood is often possible. Taking the first step toward diagnosis and treatment is key to finding the best path forward.
