I Never Lost Faith: After Years of Trying, I’m Finally Mom to Kiran Alessandro

My name is Claudia Aguilar, and I’m the mother of Kiran Alessandro, who was born in February 2024. My mom is also part of this story—as his loving grandmother. For me, finding Ingenes filled me with hope. I was living in California and had tried several treatments there, but after a recent miscarriage and two previous losses, I still hadn’t been successful. Then, by chance, I saw a commercial for Ingenes offering the possibility to do the entire process in Mexico or combine it with consultations in San Diego, all at a more affordable cost. That moment felt like a light in the middle of darkness. I finally felt there was a real option for me. Two months later, I decided to travel to Mexico and do the entire treatment directly with Ingenes. From the very first call, I felt encouraged and supported, and I just knew—this had to be my moment. I went through all the evaluations, followed every instruction and procedure, and thanks to that effort and support, my baby finally arrived. Kiran Alessandro is the result of a long journey—full of uncertainty—but also the joy and fulfillment of knowing every step was worth it. What I remember most about my time at the clinic is how they made me feel at home. Unlike other clinics where I felt like just another number, at Ingenes they truly cared about how I felt and about my well-being. The doctor who cared for me was incredibly compassionate, explaining every detail and always emphasizing the emotional value of this dream, more than anything material. I felt safe, heard, and supported every step of the way, and any question I had was always answered. If I could give advice to other women going through what I went through, I would say: never lose faith and stay positive. There is always a way forward, and there are options to make your dream of having a baby come true. Being supported by a team that is both human and professional makes all the difference—and that’s exactly what I found at Ingenes. My message to Kiran, when he grows up and watches this recording, is this: your mommy fought so hard to bring you into our lives. We’ve always loved you, we were waiting for you with all our hearts, and we want you to know just how special and deeply wanted you were from the very beginning.

Common Infertility Diagnoses: What You Need to Know

Infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples worldwide, making it more common than you might think. Although it’s a sensitive topic surrounded by doubts, understanding its possible causes can relieve anxiety and provide a clearer path. Below you’ll find the most frequent diagnoses in men and women, their causes, symptoms, and available treatments. Main causes of female infertility In women, infertility usually stems from issues with ovulation, egg quality, or reproductive structures. These are the most common causes: 1. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) PCOS affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It’s a hormonal disorder that interferes with ovulation, causing irregular or absent cycles and small cysts on the ovaries. Symptoms: Irregular or absent menstrual periods Excess hair growth (hirsutism) Acne or oily skin Weight gain or difficulty losing weight Treatments: Ovulation induction with clomiphene or letrozole Lifestyle changes: balanced diet, exercise, and weight loss In vitro fertilization (IVF) if medications are ineffective 2. Endometriosis Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, affecting 10% of women. It causes pain, inflammation, and adhesions that can block the tubes or damage egg quality. Symptoms: Severe menstrual pain Pain during intercourse Chronic pelvic pain Heavy menstrual bleeding Treatments: Laparoscopic surgery to remove adhesions Hormonal therapies: oral contraceptives or GnRH agonists 3. Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) DOR means fewer or lower-quality eggs. It can result from age, genetics, illnesses, or surgeries. Symptoms: Shorter menstrual cycles Poor response to ovarian stimulation No obvious symptoms until difficulty conceiving Treatments: Ovarian stimulation in IVF to retrieve more eggs Egg cryopreservation at a younger age Egg donation in severe cases Common diagnoses in male infertility Men account for 40%–50% of cases. The main issues affect sperm production, function, or transport. 1. Low sperm count (oligospermia) Defined as fewer than 15 million sperm per mL. It can be due to hormonal imbalances, genetic conditions, varicocele, or exposure to heat and toxins. Treatments: Lifestyle changes: reduce alcohol and quit smoking Hormone therapy to correct imbalances Varicocele surgery IVF with ICSI to fertilize the egg directly 2. Low sperm motility (asthenospermia) Sperm can’t swim properly, so they don’t reach the egg. Causes include infections, antibodies, and genetic abnormalities. Treatments: ICSI to bypass motility issues Sperm selection techniques, such as PICSI 3. Genetic abnormalities Genetic defects can affect sperm production. Genetic counseling and specific tests help identify the issue. With PGT-M, embryos are analyzed before transfer. Unexplained infertility: what to do? Accounts for 10–15% of cases when no visible cause is found. Options include lifestyle changes, timing intercourse on fertile days, IUI, or IVF. When to see a specialist: Under 35: after 12 months of trying Over 35: after 6 months With risk factors: as soon as possible Understanding each diagnosis and treatment empowers you on this journey. Consult a reproductive specialist for the appropriate support and guidance. We’re with you every step of the way.
