“In order to fulfil your dream of having a baby, now it’s our turn to protect you.”

by

We have been going through the toughest time since the Covid-19 outbreak began but we think its time for optimism; society has lept from adversity and we are witnessing great acts of solidarity and community.

In some countries we are staying at home, protecting our loved ones, other people and ourselves. We miss a lot of things. We have a lot of doubts. Every day is a new challenge. But you know what? We will gert through this together and we can guarantee one thing when we come out the other side – we will see a new world, we will value things differently and we will be stronger than ever.

For the Tambre Team it was very painful to see our patients worried, full of uncertainty. So we acted quickly. Doctors, Nurses, Patient Care and all our departments reinforced communication channels via telephone and online communication – informing, sharing and advising everyone throughout this trying time.

We were also determined to help our colleagues and peers, the ‘health heroes’. We have donated the ventilator we use in the operating room to the Vithas Nisa Pardo Hospital in Aravaca and all our stock of gloves and masks to the 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid. We will continue to do everything in our power to help all the excellent staff who are working hard to cure their patients.

Having successfully completed the majority of our existing treatments over the past couple of weeks in line with statutory health and safety guidelines we are now able to cease our in-house care from Wednesday 1st April. Now it is of the utmost importance to take care of ourselves and make sure that we fully comply with health authorities’ recommendations. We stick with a comment often said to you by our Medical Director, Laura García de Miguel: “In order to fulfil your dream of having a baby, now it is our turn to protect you”.

Keep in mind that the rest of our channels are more available than ever, and that the Tambre Team has not stopped thinking about you and will continue to be accesible whenever you need us. We continue to provide information about our treatments and we are also currently organising interesting webinars and live videos on our social networks and online communities to help you with any concerns you may have. You can contact us by sending an email to: information@clinicatambre.com or calling +34 91 411 61 11 from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 11am and 4pm to 6pm in the evenings (UK time).

We have been living with the hardest part of this outbreak for almost two weeks now, but we think it is time to say this and say it more often, we will see each other again very soon.

Q&A: COVID-19 & fertility treatment

by

Due to the current situation, we have scheduled a Q&A in cooperation with Eizellspende.de on Tuesday, March 24th at 6:30 p.m. (UK-time). We will talk about the new virus COVID-19 and the impact on your fertility treatment.

Many fertility patients go through a difficult time right now. We are sure that you have many questions and that you are wondering, if your treatment will be continued, how the virus could affect it or if there is anything you need to know when going to a clinic?

Our fertility expert Dr. Jessica García will answer all your questions about this topic.

Coronavirus and fertility treatments: we resolve the most frequent doubts

by

Many of our patients have expressed their concern about the situation that is occurring worldwide because of COVID-19 or coronavirus. In addition to having addressed all the doubts you’ve been having (over the phone or online) for days, we have gathered all the frequently asked questions and their answers in this post. We hope this information will clarify the current situation and allay any fears you may have.

What is the coronavirus? How is it transmitted? What symptoms appear?

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a recently discovered virus that had never been detected in humans before. This virus causes an indisposition, which includes symptoms such as cough, fever and difficulty in breathing.

The coronavirus is spread especially by direct contact with an infected person, being within one metre of them when they cough, sneeze or secrete saliva or nasal secretions. A lot of information has come to light recently about how long the virus can survive in objects, but even the WHO itself has not yet made a clear statement on the matter. That is why the most important thing is to wash your hands constantly and try not to touch your face.

Who is most likely to contract the disease?

Our Medical Director, Laura García de Miguel, explains that the people most at risk of contracting the disease are the elderly and those with underlying pathologies (such as heart disease or immune difficulties). You have asked us a lot of questions about whether being under ovarian stimulation treatment or endometrial preparation means having more risk of contagion, to which Dr. Garcia says there is nothing to worry about.

What is the current situation in Spain?

The Spanish Government declared a State of Emergency on March 14th as a preventive measure against the spread of the virus. As a result of this action, mobility between countries is being compromised. As is logical, this situation raises a lot of doubts about fertility treatments, which generally have a specific schedule.

What is the situation at Tambre?

For several weeks now, Tambre has been receiving constant communications from national health authorities and the World Health Organization, which dictate protocols of action that our centre has followed quickly and efficiently. Among the measures taken, we have improved the hygiene and disinfection of our facilities, and installed hydro-alcoholic gel dispensers for patients to use. Similarly, we have followed all the preventive advice as far as safety equipment is concerned. A few days ago we also requested all those who visit the clinic should adhere to the recommendations and protocols established which will remain in place throughout this outbreak.

Coronavirus recommendations Tambre

Can I continue with my treatment as planned?

The Spanish Fertility Society (SEF) issued its most recent statement on March 15, in which it establishes the current treatment guidelines that must be followed by fertility clinics regarding treatments. At Tambre, we are rigorously following all the measures promoted by the different relevant organisations. It is possible that the stages of your treatment may be subject to change. Despite this you can be assured that our patient care department and medical team will continue to do their utmost to advise, accompany and guide you through any concerns that may arise during this time. We have always been characterised by the personal and warm treatment we give our patients and in a situation like this, it will not be different: we are treating each case individually, studying all the variables and taking into account all the different stages of the process. You do not need to worry. Your treatment is not being canceled; it just adapts to the circumstances.

You can contact us at any time of the day by sending an email to: information@clinicatambre.com or calling +44 (0) 20 38 688 65 from Monday to Saturday, from 8am to 3pm. You can also contact the Tambre team through the following form:

What is known about pregnant women and the coronavirus?

It is important to clarify that pregnant women are not part of the population that has the highest risk of getting infected. Furthermore, after weeks of research, experts in leading medical and scientific publications like The Lancet and Frontiers in Pediatrics have concluded, that there is no evidence that COVID-19 is transmitted from a woman to her baby during pregnancy or childbirth, which means that there is no fetal affectation. Research related to our sector has clarified that the virus is not transmitted through follicular fluid or through laboratory samples.

Is it normal that this situation is worrying me?

Our psychologist Dr. Silvia Moreno Golmar would like to share some tips that can make the situation we are experiencing more bearable.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

– Only take into account verified information that comes from official sources and avoid unknown sources.

– Avoid information overload. Dedicate one or two moments a day to this topic such as watching the news.

– In the presence of high intensity emotions, breathe, share your feelings with friends or family and seek support from people close to you or experts.

– Maintain an optimistic attitude trying to focus on things that you like and are pleasant to you.

– Practice mindfulness, yoga or do exercise. If it is something new, it will help you to create a new focus, and if you already practice it often, it will help you to feel good.

– Make a list of things to do and look at them when having negative thoughts or experiencing despair. Try to stay busy.

– Establish daily routines and maintain usual care and hygiene.

– Avoid catastrophic conversations or thoughts and relativise things to adjust to objective reality.

– Do not give in to fear or anticipate negative consequences. Focus on the present moment.

– Trust in your own abilities and strength to overcome adversities.

– Be aware that everything comes to an end, no matter how uncomfortable or unpleasant it may be at the moment.

– Recognise that the effort we are making is not only individual, but social, and that thanks to it many lives will be saved.

Additionally, Dr. Moreno has a special message for all those who are currently undergoing fertility treatment:

“We know that you have been waiting for this moment for a long time and what it means for you to have to postpone it, but we also trust that it will be for a short time only and that the most important thing is that both you and us are taking care of ourselves to be able to make your dream come true. Everything is going to be fine, and for this, we all need to do our bit. Your way to contribute now is to be patient and to trust. In the meantime, I recommend to practice mindfulness, which will help you to focus on the present and connect with your emotions, whatever they may be. Breathe.” says our psychologist.

During 40 years of experience we have learned to be prepared in the face of adversity and we are proud to have a team that these days has proven to be dedicated, professional and empathetic with its patients. We want to remind you that Tambre is a safe place for you, that our goal continues to be to help you and that we are there for you – whatever you may need.

Special article for March the 8th: We Tambre women

by

“Women comprise 50% of staff in the sanitary sector. However, only 20% possess a high-ranking position.” This is the opening line of Inge Kormelink, CEO of Tambre, shown in the video we have prepared in the centre for International Women’s Day.

Female presence at Clínica Tambre

Kormelink clarifies that she has refused to believe that statistic. Tambre is a company that stands out for the female presence of its staff, since out of 48 workers, 42 are women and 100% of the high-ranking positions are occupied by them.

Tambre’s management believes in equal opportunities, valuing the abilities of each worker regardless of their gender. However, on a day like today, when we commemorate all the years that women have been fighting for their rights, we wanted to look in the mirror and be aware of our presence.

A curious fact is that most of the women in Tambre have children. Women have always found it difficult to have their work and family aspirations fulfilled at the same time. Many times, when we are at the perfect age (biologically speaking) to become mothers, we want to prioritize our professional development. Often, when we have reached that working peak, our ovarian reserve is already low.

However, whatever time in life a woman chooses to have children, there is always a pregnancy, birth and upbringing that in one way or another generates an impact on the workplace. That is why the figure of the companies is crucial in the matter of conciliation. “One of the social benefits of our company is the reduction of one hour of the shift for breastfeeding, at the beginning or end of the day”, explains Raquel Parrilla, HR Director of the clinic.

Helping other women is part of our mission

Often the beauty of our work is that, through Tambre treatments, we help women who dream of becoming mums. Our philosophy consists of informing them, accompanying them, guiding them and giving them all the support they may need in a process that is so significant on a psychological and physiological level.

We cannot forget either that a few months ago we launched the TEMPO project, which supports the decision to delay motherhood that some women are contemplating.

Thank you all very much!

“In a day as important as today, we visualise a promising future, without forgetting the road we followed together”, explains the General Director of Tambre in the previously mentioned video. And she is absolutely right. We women can be successful in whatever sector we choose. Women have strength. We are very grateful to all those whose struggle has impelled us, and we hope to serve as an inspiration for the generations to come. As Inge Kormelink said at the end of the video: “We are like this because we cannot imagine ourselves being any different.”

The benefits of fertility massage: a conversation with Raul Garcia

by

A while ago we shared the talk we had with our osteopath, Nacho Ordaz, on the implementation of manual therapies in assisted fertility treatments. At Tambre we are lucky to count on not only one, but two fertility massage professionals. Today we explore everything that this technique can provide together with Raul Garcia.

What is the fertility massage therapist’s mission?

According to Raul Garcia, the main function of a therapeutic chiromasseur like him consists of working on soft tissue in order to eliminate the possible blockages or tense points that can affect muscular fibers. It is important, likewise, to allow for good articular movement and stretch the musculature for fibers to become flexible and elastic. In this way, muscles will tend to be less prone to lesions despite the blockages that may occur.

The massage makes muscles, facia and organs become less tense and thus, relaxed. This will lead to them working and carrying out their functions in optimal conditions, therefore helping the likelihood of success of the fertility process.

What is the perspective in Spain regarding complementary therapies?

Our masseur believes that alternative therapies are valuable, as they help eliminate negative stress accumulated in the body and mind. When palliating the tensions that arise out of this stress, patients live their assisted reproduction process in a more comfortable and positive way.

“To me, Tambre is a clinic whose workers are great professionals. They are close, kind, and respectful. Besides being pioneers in technology and treatments, they are very open to include different techniques such as massage or acupuncture when noticing that patients demand them. It is true, however, that complementary therapies in Spain are not as valued as in the rest of Europe. Nevertheless, it is also true that there is ever more available information and more centres that give access to such therapies”, he explains.

Welcome to the Tambre team, Raul!

When asked what he is most passionate about in his work, he explains he loves contact with people. He always listens attentively to what he is being told and does everything possible for those who come to him to feel better. “I love helping people”, he says.

Our therapeutic chiromasseur begins this adventure with much excitement, becoming yet another indispensable piece of the machine that forms the multidisciplinary team of the clinic. “Tambre helps those patients who, for one reason or another, have not been able to become parents yet, and in this centre they are able to fulfil their dream. It is a beautiful objective that is worth getting involved in”, Raul concludes.

Kate and Scott’s story: a great experience abroad

by

There is an ever-increasing number of British patients who come to our clinic with the aim of fulfilling their dream of having a healthy baby. Such is the case of Kate and Scott, a charming couple with whom we had the pleasure to speak a few weeks ago.

Since they began their relationship, they were convinced that they would become parents after getting married. In 2015, after the wedding, they attempted to create a family in the ’natural way’. “That went on for a little while, but unfortunately, nothing happened,” Scott tells us.

Their beginnings in the world of assisted reproduction

It was then when, through the NHS, they were able to access a form of treatment through which they were able to conceive, but unfortunately, the outcome was not good. The next steps in their fertility journey consisted of searching for options all over the United Kingdom, but they found an obstacle: an age limit. In Spain, for example, legislation dictates that women can undergo assisted reproduction treatments until the age of 50.

They carried out an exhaustive investigation of clinics both in their birth country as well as in other locations, finally deciding to go to a private clinic. They spoke with UK centres and international representatives.

Their first contact with the Tambre team

This is how they found us and had a first visit that left them very satisfied. Their doctor, Laura García, who has been guiding them in this path from the first day, they were able to clarify all the doubts that came up. Furthermore, they want to highlight a couple of details that have made them feel very comfortable with us. The first is the fact that Tambre is equipped with an English-speaking team with whom Kate and Scott have communicated perfectly. “Our Spanish is very limited, so it’s useful,” jokes Scott.

Kate says that the questions that arose out of her have been more focused on the tests and on how to organize everything. In those moments, they are grateful to have had Coordinator María Ráez by their side, who responded to them through e-mail instantly.

Undergoing treatment abroad: what do you need to know?

From experience, we know that many patients feel fear when it comes to taking the final step to undergo treatment abroad and be assured with the choice of clinic. Because of this, we have asked Kate and Scott how they dealt with it.

“Do your research,” recommends Kate, keeping in mind the treatment, techniques and legislation of every country, as they are not the same. She says that when you find the clinic that might suit you, go meet them in person. If you come away feeling content and not stressing about anything, then it’s the right clinic for you. In their case, staying with us was an instinctive decision. “It just felt right,” says Kate. Scott also adds that coming to Madrid is not complicated and that the city is lovely. “There’s nothing to be afraid of,” he concludes.

At Tambre we try to facilitate our international patients’ experience as much as possible, as we have already explained, opting for fluent communication in their mother tongue. Likewise, we count on collaborating centres in the UK where patients can carry out all the necessary tests without having to come back to Madrid.

In this phase of the treatment, the beginning, Kate feels excited, nervous and a bit apprehensive, as is expected. However, she is happy and calm because she says we have facilitated everything for her: “Everything just feels like it’s really easy to do and quite simple, which it is; it doesn’t need to be difficult,” she argues.
