In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

What is In Vitro Fertilization?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology used in the treatment of infertility. With this method, the woman’s eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory environment and the resulting embryos are transferred into the uterus. In vitro fertilization treatment offers the chance of pregnancy to couples who cannot have children naturally.

Scope of IVF Treatment

• Infertility Diagnosis and Evaluation:
  • Male Infertility: Problems with sperm count, motility and morphology.
  • Female Infertility: Conditions such as ovulation disorders, obstruction of the fallopian tubes, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  • Unexplained Infertility: Infertility situations whose cause cannot be determined.
• Treatment Process:
  • Ovarian Stimulation: Stimulating the woman’s ovaries with the help of medications and ensuring that they produce more than one egg.
  • Egg Collection: Surgical procedure in which eggs are collected under ultrasound guidance.
  • Sperm Collection and Preparation: Collecting the man’s sperm sample and preparing it in the laboratory environment
  • Fertilization: Fertilization of eggs with sperm in a laboratory environment.
  • Embryo Culture: Growing fertilized eggs in a laboratory environment until they become embryos.
  • Embryo Transfer: Transferring developed embryos into the uterus.
  • Pregnancy Test: Evaluating the success of the treatment with a pregnancy test performed approximately 10-14 days after embryo transfer.
• Additional Assisted Reproductive Techniques:
  • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): Injecting a single sperm directly into the egg.
  • Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): Screening embryos for genetic diseases and selecting healthy embryos.
  • Embryo Freezing: Freezing excess healthy embryos for later use.
  • Egg and Sperm Freezing: Freezing women’s eggs or men’s sperm for future use.

The Importance of IVF

In vitro fertilization treatment is an important source of hope for couples who cannot have children naturally. With this method, many couples have the chance to have a child successfully. In vitro fertilization treatment offers solutions to various causes of infertility and helps couples with genetic diseases to have healthy children.

Methods Used in IVF Treatment

• Ovulation Induction: Hormonal drugs are used to stimulate the ovaries and ensure the production of more than one egg.
• Ultrasound and Hormone Monitoring: Regular ultrasound and blood tests are performed to monitor the ovarian stimulation process.
• Egg Collection: Ultrasound-guided collection of eggs.
• Sperm Preparation: Washing and preparation of sperm in the laboratory environment.
• Embryo Transfer: Transferring developed embryos into the uterus.
• Luteal Phase Support: Hormonal drugs are used to support the attachment of the embryo to the uterus.
