Rather annoyed that we had to pay for lots of blood tests and it seems the results weren’t even properly looked at! The dr didn’t pick up on the fact that my thyroid levels weren’t what they should be. (I didn’t know either until a different dr from a different fertility clinic said you really should get them done again because the results could indicate hypothyroidism. So I did get them done again and did an antibodies test and yes I have Hashimotos! This can cause miscarriage and all sorts of problems with a developing baby! Something a dr at a fertility clinic should know very well! Anyways, we went back again and asked for a different dr and when I mentioned to the other Dr she wasn’t in any way apologetic and was almost about to say that my results weren’t that bad! Even though they aren’t what they need to be to have a safe pregnancy! A simple google search tells you that! We did a few IUI treatments and they didn’t work. Obviously they hate just the luck of the draw. But then luckily I got pregnant naturally and wanted to book a scan and they said I need a blood test confirming the pregnancy (which I got) but never said you should probably get your thyroid checked also because once you get pregnant you generally need to adjust the dose. I got my thyroid checked and yes the reading wasn’t good. I had a miscarriage previously and I think it’s probably because of my thyroid and so I have a random free consultation with a different clinic to thank for that! So anyway due to Iera being so close my I thought I would get a scan to check everything is ok and had to wait an hour before my appointment! If you go private and pay 100 euros for a scan then really you should be seen on time or with minimal waiting!

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.

Won’t recommend. I did egg freezing in the clinic. Being young and having good hormone tests results, we were able to retrieve only 7 eggs, instead of normal 10-12. Why is that? After this happened, I consulted other doctors and they pointed out various issues that were done 1) the treatment was too short (only 8 days and not 10-14) 2) wrong selection of the last injection 3) as a result, the result was bad and not enough eggs, even for young women with high hormone levels! More than this, when I was doing the first treatment, all the nurses were asking “is this your first treatment with us?”. Which is strange, no? Seemed like for them it’s normal practice to make sure women don’t succeed in the first treatment and more than one, so pay more as well. More than this, I asked if I can do the second treatment right after the first one. They said generally no, but then they said yes you can. Which 1) is not healthy to stimulate the body this much in such a short period of time 2) won’t produce eggs, as the body hasn’t recovered yet, it’s not ready to be giving eggs again 3) is great for them, because they have another paying customer.

Got eggs frozen here, it went smooth! From the appointments to consult, examination, weekly check ups, prescribing medication, retrieval and recovery. They did it all like how it should be done. The doctor and nurse were thorough and took their time explaining things One thing, they should probably follow up with client via phone or email a month after treatment.

Embryo culture is performed in a time‑lapse incubator, allowing continuous monitoring of development without disturbance. For pre‑implantation genetic testing, the clinic utilizes a laser‑based embryo biopsy system that creates precise openings in the zona pellucida for cell extraction. Cryopreservation relies on vitrification protocols for both oocytes and embryos, ensuring high post‑thaw survival rates.

Core treatments include artificial insemination (both partner‑ and donor‑sperm protocols), in‑vitro fertilization (IVF) with conventional insemination or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The clinic also runs comprehensive egg‑donation programmes, egg reception for recipients, and fertility‑preservation services for both oocytes and sperm, employing vitrification techniques. Advanced genetic services are available, such as pre‑implantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT‑A) and monogenic disorders (PGT‑M), laser‑assisted embryo biopsy, and genetic compatibility testing.

Does IERA Lisboa provide fertility treatment for same-sex couples? expand_more

By providing tailored protocols and comprehensive support, IERA Lisboa ensures that same‑sex couples receive equitable access to high‑quality fertility care.

What is the history and background of IERA Lisboa? expand_more

IERA Lisboa is part of the Instituto Extremeño de Reproducción Asistida (IERA) network, founded in the late 1990s (the first IVF birth in the region occurred in 2000). Over more than 20 years, the centre has pioneered assisted‑reproduction techniques in Extremadura, achieving milestones such as the first IVF pregnancy, the first frozen‑embryo birth (2001), the first testicular‑sperm pregnancy (2002), and the first vitrified‑embryo transfer. Since then, IERA Lisboa has supported approximately 5,000 pregnancies and currently delivers around 200 babies annually. The clinic operates within the Quirónsalud group, adhering to international standards of care and continuous research, positioning itself as a leading fertility centre in Portugal.

Does IERA Lisboa offer egg donation for IVF treatment? expand_more

Yes, IERA Lisboa runs a fully regulated egg‑donation programme. Donors must be women aged 18‑34, in good physical and mental health, and pass comprehensive genetic and infectious‑disease screening in line with Portuguese Law No. 48/2019. The clinic manages the entire process—from hormonal stimulation and oocyte retrieval to fertilisation with the recipient’s partner or donor sperm and subsequent embryo transfer. Egg‑donation cycles contribute to the centre’s overall IVF success rate of nearly 50%, offering a viable option for patients with ovarian failure, poor response, advanced maternal age, or genetic concerns.

What are the IVF success rates at IERA Lisboa? expand_more

IERA Lisboa reports an overall pregnancy rate of close to 50% per IVF cycle, a substantial increase from the early 20% success observed when the centre opened. The clinic has overseen roughly 5,000 assisted‑reproduction pregnancies since its inception and now delivers about 200 live births each year, representing around 3% of regional natality. Success varies with patient age; younger women (<35 years) typically achieve higher implantation rates, while older patients benefit from individualized protocols such as pre‑implantation genetic testing and oocyte vitrification. These figures reflect the centre’s use of advanced laboratory practices and a personalized approach to each case.
