Instituto Bernabeu’s participation in events held in Portugal on 4^th and 5^th December focused on poor responders and new strategies to help women achieve a pregnancy.

Does the number of oocytes obtained following ovarian puncture have an impact on embryo quality? This is the question that a team of researchers from the Embryology Departments at Instituto Bernabeu in Alicante and Albacete and the genetics laboratory at Biotech asked themselves as they proceeded to study the results obtained in almost 400 cycles of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The research work was presented in poster format at the Association for the Study of Reproduction Biology (ASEBIR) Congress, a gathering attended by leading global experts. The research was based on the relationship between the number of oocytes obtained following ovarian puncture and the results of IVF treatment.

Dr Rafael Bernabeu, Medical Director at Instituto Bernabeu, gave a speech within the framework of the ‘Review and updated handling of recurrent pregnancy loss’ course held in Madrid. The event was organised by the Spanish Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (SEGO).
