Specialised Haematology and Fertility Service 

Empowering Your Journey: Optimizing Blood Health for a Stronger Path to Parenthood

At FIV Valencia, we offer a comprehensive approach to infertility treatment. Our specialised haematology and fertility service is designed to identify and address blood-related conditions, such as clotting disorders, thrombophilia, and hereditary haematological diseases, which can significantly impact the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.

Our multidisciplinary team provides a holistic approach to Assisted Reproduction treatments. Each case is studied individually with the aim of achieving a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Our specialised haematology and fertility service is a key part of this tailored approach. A haematological study can be crucial in diagnosing fertility issues.

Why is Haematology Important in Assisted Reproduction Treatments? 

Haematology plays a fundamental role in fertility treatments like In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). Our specialised haematology service can help improve fertilisation, embryo implantation, and the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy: 

Improved Implantation
Proper blood flow and normal coagulation are essential for the successful implantation of an embryo in the uterus. Blood disorders can disrupt this process, reducing implantation chances. 
Pregnancy Support
Conditions such as anaemia and clotting disorders can affect the health of both the mother and the developing foetus. Managing these conditions helps maintain a healthy pregnancy and reduces the risk of complications like miscarriage or pre-eclampsia. 

Common Blood Disorders Affecting Fertility 

Several blood-related conditions can impact fertility and pregnancy: 

  • Anaemia: Low red blood cell levels can reduce oxygen delivery to reproductive organs, potentially affecting egg quality and implantation. 
  • Clotting Disorders: Conditions such as thrombophilia can cause abnormal blood clotting, affecting the uterine lining and embryo implantation. 
  • Immune System Disorders: Certain immune conditions can cause the body to react negatively to the embryo, increasing the risk of implantation failure or miscarriage. 
  • Thrombophilia: This condition increases the tendency to form blood clots, potentially disrupting blood flow to the placenta and affecting pregnancy outcomes. Thrombophilia can be caused by hereditary or acquired genetic abnormalities. 
  • Sickle Cell Disease: Conditions such as sickle cell anaemia and other haemoglobinopathies can affect blood flow and oxygen distribution, posing risks during pregnancy. 

Factors Affecting Blood Health and Fertility 

Various factors influence blood health and its impact on fertility. At FIV Valencia, we perform the necessary tests to identify the causes of blood disorders and customise your Assisted Reproduction treatment accordingly: 

  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12 can cause anaemia and other blood disorders. 
  • Genetic Factors: Some blood-related conditions, such as sickle cell anaemia and thrombophilia, are hereditary and can affect fertility and pregnancy. 
  • Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a lack of exercise can negatively impact blood health, causing circulation problems or clotting abnormalities. 
  • Medications: Certain medications can affect blood coagulation or increase the risk of anaemia, potentially influencing fertility.

FAQs 

Why is haematology important in fertility treatment?

In Assisted Reproduction, haematology is crucial, because blood health significantly impacts fertility and pregnancy. Conditions such as anaemia or clotting disorders can influence implantation and embryo development. Addressing these issues helps create a healthier environment for conception and pregnancy. 

What blood tests are typically performed during a haematological evaluation for IVF?

A haematological evaluation may include tests to detect anaemia, clotting disorders, immune system problems, and a general blood cell count, as well as hereditary genetic defects causing thrombophilia. These tests identify underlying conditions that could affect fertility or pregnancy. 

Can blood disorders affect my chances of IVF success?

Yes, blood disorders such as clotting abnormalities or anaemia can affect IVF success by interfering with embryo implantation or increasing the risk of complications during pregnancy. Managing these disorders can improve the chances of a successful outcome. 

Can lifestyle changes improve my blood health for fertility?

Yes, lifestyle changes can positively impact your blood health and fertility. Examples include following a balanced diet rich in iron and vitamins, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption. At FIV Valencia, we provide guidance on these changes as part of your treatment plan.
