When thinking about starting a family and starting the search for a pregnancy, the option of visiting a fertility specialist may not be the most frequent among those couples who dream of having a baby. The idea of conceiving naturally and spontaneously seems so simple, that initially they only think about suspending contraceptive methods and continuing with an active sexual life.
When the months, and perhaps the years, go by trying to get pregnant without success, is when questions invade the mind and uncertainty begins to play a fundamental role in the daily life of the couple.
In addition to this feeling of frustration, the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has generated more fear in those families who were about to start the search for a natural pregnancy, make the decision to consult a specialist or were in the middle of fertility treatment.
There are many reasons why fear can be a determining factor in the midst of this decision at this time, but there are also multiple arguments to tell you THE TIME IS NOW!
Here are some of them:
1. Because at INSER we have all the biosecurity measures to take care of you during the process.

2. Because the faster you start, the more chances you have of making your dream come true
To consult is to take the first step to start the search. Having a diagnosis by a fertility specialist will allow you to identify which path you should take and what options you have to achieve it.
Keep in mind that 80% of couples who consult manage to make their desire to have a child come true with low-complexity treatments, which do not require high costs or surgical procedures.
3. Because time does not stop and neither does the woman’s biological clock
The new social dynamics have led us to adopt behaviors that allow us to continue with our work and personal habits. Time does not stop and we must continue betting on life and our dreams.
Seeking pregnancy after age 35 can be more complex than at age 30. A woman’s biological clock is a determining factor when looking for a baby, so it is important to consult as soon as possible to review your condition, and thus define when it is time to continue with a treatment if you require it (See more about ovarian reserve)
Don’t let time pass! In the world of fertility, every day can become a valuable opportunity
4. Because you will have emotional support that will help you live the process in the best way
We know that being looking for a pregnancy, having a diagnosis of infertility and living in the midst of uncertainty due to the current situation in the world, generates feelings of stress, anxiety, fear, frustration, despair, etc. For this reason, from the area of Psychology
INSER, we open our doors to accompany you in your process.
These consultations can be scheduled virtually or in person if you prefer.
Currently, no scientific society has recommended suspending the search for pregnancies because of the pandemic. There are no studies that show that embryos are a target for the virus or that the baby can become infected in the mother’s womb, affecting its growth and gestational development.
It is important to clarify that, with other global epidemics such as SIKA, specific recommendations were given to suspend treatments due to the imminent risk of transmission and the serious potential consequences on embryonic and fetal development.
6. Because it is not proven that there is a vertical transmission of the disease
To date, there is no scientific evidence to show that the pregnant mother can transmit the virus in pregnancy. There are still no arguments that show that the virus passes to the baby in the womb through the placenta.
Despite this, if you are pregnant, you should reinforce protection and biosecurity measures to minimize the risk of contagion. In this condition you must take care of your life and that of the baby.
Remember that with love and protection you can continue in search of your most desired dream. At INSER we will give you the peace of mind to make the best decision at the right time, the most important thing is to take the first step and consult to have a comprehensive diagnosis that allows us to guide you on the path to becoming parents.
