We are Fertilidad Integral
We are a specialized fertility clinic. We combine science, experience, and a human approach to support you every step of the way.
In Mexico, more and more people are arriving at their first appointment better informed than was once common. In fact, according to the 2022 Mexican Teacher’s Cohort study, 63.7% of women facing infertility sought medical attention, and nearly 68% underwent some form of treatment. This shows that there is growing awareness, more questions, and a greater desire to make informed decisions about reproductive health.
At Fertilidad Integral, we deeply value that you know where you stand and want to understand your options. That is why we support every process with clear, transparent information tailored to your specific case. For this reason, we offer the option to schedule an in-person or virtual consultation to resolve any questions before beginning your treatment.
Step 1. Choose a specialist in assisted reproduction
Before starting your treatment, it is important to see a certified specialist. You should ensure your doctor has:
- An up-to-date professional license
- A subspecialty in Human Reproductive Biology.
- Clinical experience in fertility treatments.
Don't worry; if you have already seen a specialist and need a second opinion, it is perfectly valid, and remember... it is all part of the process.

Step 2. Gather your previous medical records
Having previous test results on hand, especially if there are underlying conditions or a relevant medical history, will help your specialist understand your starting point.
These are some of the tests we typically request in the initial stage:
For women:
a) Complete hormonal profile: measures key hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to evaluate your ovarian function.
b) Transvaginal ultrasound: allows us to examine your ovaries, uterus, and antral follicle count.
c) Transvaginal cultures: detect potential infections that could interfere with treatment or pregnancy.
d) Thyroid and vitamin D tests: because they directly affect your fertility.
e) Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test: An analysis that allows us to determine if your ovarian reserve is low or within a normal range.
f) Serology: We screen both you and your partner to rule out infections (such as syphilis, HIV, rubella, hepatitis, among others) that could affect pregnancy.
For men:
g) Semen analysis: Analyzes the count, motility, and morphology of the sperm.
h) Sperm DNA fragmentation: Evaluates the genetic integrity of the sperm.
i) Genetic testing: If there is a family history or if a more in-depth study is required.
j) Serology: We screen both you and your partner to rule out infections (such as syphilis, HIV, rubella, hepatitis, among others) that could affect pregnancy.
With this information, we design a personalized plan to begin your assisted reproduction treatment.
Step 3. Start taking care of your body
At Fertilidad Integral, we believe that taking care of your body is not just part of the treatment, but an act of self-love as you embark on this journey. During this stage, our team of specialists offers the following advice:
1.- Sleep well
Sleep regulates your hormonal cycles. Consistently getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep helps keep your melatonin and cortisol levels in balance, which directly influences your reproductive health. Yes, melatonin also comes into play when we talk about fertility.
2.- Eat a balanced diet
It is not about strict diets, but about giving your body what it needs to be strong, receptive, and in harmony. Healthy fats, antioxidants, iron, and fresh foods are your best allies. And yes, avoiding ultra-processed foods, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, and preservatives is also part of the plan: they can disrupt your hormones and affect ovulation.
3.- Move with love
Exercise is a powerful tool, but like everything else, it requires balance. Intense routines or low body weight can impact your ovulation. Instead, we suggest movements that help you connect with yourself: walking, yoga, swimming, or whatever makes you feel good in both body and mind.
Which supplements and vitamins help, and why?
Here are some supplements our specialists often recommend and why they might be useful at this stage.
- Folic acid and vitamins: Essential for supporting ovulation.
- Vitamin D: Regulates ovarian function and improves the uterine environment.
- Coenzyme Q10: A powerful antioxidant that can improve egg and sperm quality.
- Omega-3 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): help regulate reproductive hormones, reduce inflammation, and improve egg and sperm quality.
- Zinc and selenium: strengthen reproductive function.
- Probiotics: support digestive and hormonal balance.
Keep in mind… Supplementation is not a substitute for a diagnosis. At Fertilidad Integral, we evaluate your history, your test results, and your actual needs before recommending any supplements.
Reducing stress is also part of the preparation
Chronic stress raises cortisol, a hormone that interferes with ovulation, affects sperm quality, and disrupts other key processes. That is why, at Fertilidad Integral, we consider stress reduction to be part of the treatment, which is why we offerwellness servicesthroughout the process.
How do we take care of your overall well-being?
a) Nutrition: We design a personalized meal plan that supports your fertility. We include fresh foods, antioxidants, healthy fats, and adjustments based on your hormone levels.
b) Psychological therapy: The path to conception can be emotionally intense. Our team supports you with attentive listening, respect, and tools to navigate every stage.
c) Therapeutic massage: Relaxes the body, balances emotions, and lowers cortisol, creating an internal environment more receptive to conception.
d) Acupuncture: Based on traditional Chinese medicine, it helps improve blood flow, regulate hormones, and reduce stress.
What services do we offer at Fertilidad Integral?
Timed intercourse
This is a simple treatment that many couples seek as a first step when they encounter difficulty getting pregnant. It involves synchronizing your fertile days with timed intercourse.
It is recommended for people with irregular ovulation or mild infertility and has an approximate success rate of 15%.
If you want to get pregnant…
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
A low-complexity treatment that involves placing sperm directly into the uterus during your most fertile days.
It is ideal for couples with mild infertility or infertility of 1 to 3 years' duration, women choosing to become single mothers, or same-sex couples using a sperm donor.
The success rate is 30% per cycle, depending on age and other medical factors.
A high-complexity treatment where fertilization occurs in the laboratory. The embryo is subsequently transferred to the uterus.
Ideal for cases of low ovarian reserve, advanced age, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or after several unsuccessful attempts. It is one of the most successful methods, with a 70% success rate.
If you wish to preserve your fertility…
This allows you to store eggs at their peak quality, while they are still young and fertile, for future use. It is ideal if you want to postpone motherhood without closing the door on it, and it is also recommended for patients who will undergo cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, which can affect ovarian reserve.
After IVF, viable embryos can be stored for future attempts without repeating the entire treatment. It can also be used to plan for more than one pregnancy.
