The law establishes what is the fate of surplus embryos, which must be properly frozen and stored. The options are: implantarselos the same woman (if a posteriori wants to try to get pregnant ), destroy them, donate them for research or donated to other patients. If a woman decides to donate their embryos to other couples problems playing MAY BE GRANTED. In such cases, physicians and anonymous donors often look similar physically to future recipients parents. ...

Embryology

Embryology is a science that studies the prenatal development of organisms.

Fertility Study

The fertility testing is a medical protocol that aims to diagnose the causes of infertility in order to find the necessary help to get pregnant, within which can be seen assisted reproduction techniques. The study is conducted to the two partners, if they take at least a year trying to conceive a child without contraception without success. Studies generally last between one and two months, they are relatively simple and consist in finding out if the man has a sperm of normal characteristics, if the sperm reach the uterus after intercourse, if the woman has a right ovulation or the uterus and the fallopian tubes are normal.

In the case of frozen embryos, to perform the procedure, the first woman's uterus is prepared, the embryos are brought to a physiological temperature (37 °) and transferred into the uterus. The transfer is performed under ultrasound guidance to know what is the ideal place to deposit the embryos.

The objective of this procedure is to diagnose some kind of illness or so therapeutic for assisted reproduction. In the first case a sample of testicular pulp is taken to assess testicular function and testicular tissue discover whether or not sperm produced. Also you can perform to a genetic or meiosis study. Regarding the therapeutic target, biopsy is performed to remove immature sperm, if one exists, for the purpose of assisted reproduction and freezing a sample buffer for reproduction cycles. Before biopsy is a preliminary study of the state of the male, both physical examination as a hormonal analytical ago to establish if required performing this test. ...
