Ira and David arrived without any expectations and left with the best news

The moment when everything was impossible

The story of Ira and David is a beautiful testimony of perseverance with a happy ending. They show us that when you want something, it doesn’t matter how many doors close because there will always be a window that opens. This couple still remembers the difficult moments they went through. They were told that they couldn’t become parents in the two hospitals they visited initially. “They told me it was impossible,” says Ira.

Arriving at Clinica Tambre

When they were about to give up, they asked for a second opinion at Clinica Tambre. Dr. Valentina de Miguel gave them hope and the possibility of having their desired baby. After carrying out a series of tests, the medical team gave this couple the first encouraging response in their entire experience with assisted reproduction. Israel explains that in the places they had previously consulted, they had not even suggested testicular biopsy with IVF, which was what Dr. Tambre recommended.

As usual, at the beginning of a treatment like this, Ira and Israel had many doubts. However, the professionalism and optimism the doctor transmitted pushed them to choose us to accompany them on the most beautiful project of their lives. When asked about their relationship with Dr. Valentina de Miguel and the medical team at Tambre, Ignacia says: “They are like family to me”. She knows that the clinic has exceeded her expectations, not only for having achieved the pregnancy she was looking for but also for the motivation and human warmth she has received.

The happiness of a new stage: pregnancy

With much emotion, Ira explains how moving it is to go from believing that you will not be able to have a family to feeling the kicks of your baby in your belly. This couple believes that assisted reproduction is still a taboo subject. People have a hard time talking about it. “Get rid of fears and complexes” is the motto that Ira and David want to convey to those who want to be parents. Do not rush to explore their options. In these situations, the best thing is to open up, ask for help and let go. “It is not a problem to tell what we have been through because I can help people,” says Ira.

Where there is room for two, there is room for four: the story of Erica and Bella.

Erica and Bella, from Cadiz and Madrid, respectively, have been in love for 11 years. From the day they got married, they knew they wanted to start a family, and so they began to immerse themselves in the world of assisted reproduction. They met while travelling and knew they would continue to do so, and this time, the goal was motherhood.

Their arrival at the Tambre Clinic and the choice of treatment

They learned about the Tambre Clinic through a friend who knew Patricia, an embryologist at the centre. When they entered the Tambre Clinic, they realised the treatment could not be more personalised. The medical team explained in detail all the steps to follow, and after studying the situation, they began the treatment. Their dream of becoming mothers was getting closer and closer.

In their case, they knew that the pregnant woman would be Belinda because she was younger. The couple remembers perfectly the day that Dr. Esteban called to say that after the first attempt, she was pregnant. They say they were in the car and screamed joyfully and cried simultaneously.

The arrival of their princesses

Nine months later, Jimena was born, described by her mothers as a baby full of love and affection. The couple cannot find the words to describe their experience at Clinica Tambre. They appreciate the treatment they received from the entire team, starting with Patty, and the bond between them and the clinic, which they thank for their work and kindness. They also highlight the close and special relationship they created with Dr. Esteban, whom they nicknamed their “angel”.

Two and a half years after the birth of their daughter, Erica and Bella decided it was a good time to expand their family. “Without thinking twice, we returned to Clinica Tambre,” they say. This second adventure with us began with a new treatment and culminated with the arrival of Vella, a beautiful, smiling little girl.

Fighting Spirit for All Women Undergoing Fertility Treatments

Bella and Erica did not want to end this testimony without first transmitting their fighting spirit to all women who undergo fertility treatments. “Do not give up because everything you want is achieved,” they say, remembering what it means to hear your child’s heartbeat for the first time.

 “To those about to embark on this journey, we can only advise you to live it with as much serenity as possible and rely on serious and qualified professionals. The most important advice is not to waste time if you want to realise the dream of becoming parents.”

Maria Velasquez (embryologist)

“I help other people realise their dream of becoming parents, as they helped my parents in their time.”

Her name is Maria. She is 28 years old, born in Lorca and is an embryologist. Although this information will not be able to attract a journalist to make her the protagonist of one of his interviews, it hides an emotional story. Hers is one of those testimonies that move. But, above all, that makes us reflect on the unexpected events of fate, on that inevitable and inescapable power that is believed to guide human life towards a specific direction and that determines that “nothing exists by chance” just as “nothing is created from nothing”.

And it is precisely creation that begins Maria’s story. “At 25, my mother had fertility problems and met two professionals in the field along the way: Paul Cavalli, the founder of the Tambre Clinic, and Cristian Loners, the embryologist who was analysing the samples at the time. They allowed my parents to have a child, and without hesitation, they packed their bags and came to Madrid with the desire to have us. And, as you can see, they did it! After many attempts, they gave them the good news: she was pregnant,” Maria Velasquez tells us in this video.

Born and working at the Tambre Clinic

For Maria, it was special to know that she had been born thanks to assisted reproduction. It made her feel “different”. Did she start thinking about dedicating herself to embryology from that moment on? Maria answers this question and discovers that “coincidence” makes her story unique.

She defines herself as an “endangered species” for being the fruit of a treatment that resulted in triplets and expresses her interest in scientific progress in this speciality. She recognises that assisted reproduction techniques and treatments are advancing acceleratedly. Nowadays, “The chances of getting pregnant with more than one embryo are practically zero”. Nowadays, Maria has a great passion for embryology: “For me, embryology is generating life, helping and making the dreams of people who have had fertility problems like my parents come true. Just as they were helped, I must help those people.
