Hey everyone, I just wanted to hop on here and share my experience with the recent power outage that hit Spain. It was definitely a challenging time, and I found myself feeling a bit lost without electricity. How did everyone else cope with the situation? Share your stories and tips below!
My statement explained that all frozen embryos are kept in tanks of liquid nitrogen which do not rely on electricity for storage.
I agree with your point, especially considering the significant size of the IVF industry in Spain! Keep following for more updates.
My supervisor also sent an email reassuring us not to worry, as they have backup power sources for all equipment storing or incubating genetic material.
I was in Spain for a scheduled transfer that got canceled due to an outage. The embryos were frozen for safety, but I was told it would be rescheduled, which never happened. After an emotional rollercoaster and expensive alternative flight, I returned home with plans to go back next cycle. I wonder how many others were affected by this across all clinics. While I’m grateful the embryos are safe, waiting and paying for another trip is disheartening.
