IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) Treatment: Stages and Details
IVF treatment can be a ray of hope for couples struggling with infertility. This medical procedure is developed to assist couples who cannot conceive naturally. Here are the stages and details of IVF treatment:
1. Application and Evaluation
The IVF treatment process is managed by a specialized team. The first step is for couples to apply to the clinic and undergo an initial evaluation. During this process, the medical history, age, health condition, and other factors of the couples are assessed. Experts determine whether couples are suitable candidates for IVF treatment.
2. Ovarian Stimulation
The second stage of IVF treatment involves the stimulation of the ovaries in the female partner. Hormonal medications are administered to the female partner to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. Proper ovarian stimulation is crucial for the success of the treatment.
3. Egg Retrieval
Following ovarian stimulation, the next step is the retrieval of mature eggs. This procedure is typically performed under ultrasound guidance and mild sedation. Experts carefully collect the eggs from the ovaries and send them to the laboratory.
4. Sperm Retrieval and Fertilization
After egg retrieval, the next step is sperm retrieval and fertilization. Sperm samples obtained from the male partner are carefully prepared in the laboratory and combined with the eggs. This process allows fertilization to occur and initiates the formation of embryos.
5. Embryo Transfer
Healthy embryos created in the laboratory are transferred to the uterus of the female partner. This procedure is usually painless and takes only a few minutes. Experts determine the most suitable time for embryo transfer and perform the procedure accordingly. Following embryo transfer, a certain period is awaited for pregnancy testing.
Results and Support
The outcomes of IVF treatment can vary from couple to couple. In case of achieving pregnancy as a result of the treatment, the female partner should attend regular doctor appointments. Throughout the pregnancy journey, experts provide the necessary medical and emotional support to the female partner.

FAQ
Q: Do we need to visit the clinic for a pre-treatment appointment? If so, when?
A: Whenever possible, it is best for both partners to come to the clinic for a thorough evaluation before treatment is started. If a couple wish to start treatment during the initial visit, then it is essential that the woman should come on day two or three of her period. It is preferable for her husband to have abstained from intercourse for three to four days before the visit so that sperm analysis can be carried out.
Q: How many days will we need to stay in Turkey?
A: One cycle of treatment takes approximately sixteen to seventeen days. COH begins on the second or third day of the menstruation period. Generally it takes seven to ten days, depending on whether it is a short or a long protocol.
After that, hCG; the drug that stimulates final oocyte maturation, is given, and thirty-six hours later OPU is performed. Three to five days after OPU, embryos are transferred. Transfer day depends upon the number and quality of the embryos.
Q: What is day one of my cycle?
A: Day one is calculated as the first full day of your period, with heavy bleeding that starts before midday; so for timing purposes, you can ignore spotting or light premenstrual bleeding.

Hysteroscopy: This procedure is helpful if there is a suspicion of a uterine cavity problem.
Laparoscopy: This procedure is helpful if there is a suspicion of tubal damage, hydrosalpingistis or the signs of severe endometritis. Both diagnosis and treatment can be carried out during a laparoscopy.
