Eggs that are harvested from woman and sperms that are harvested from man are combined artificially to get embrio. That embrio injects in uterus and this applicaiton is called in Vitro Fertizilization Treatment. IVF Treatment is applicable to the ones who are not able to have children in natural ways. It is also the most popular infetility treatment. During the treatment embrio is formed in labrotories and transfer to mother’s uterus. After tihs application, the pregnancy goes on as a normal, usual pregnancy.
There are two methods to fetilize eggs:
- In labrotories, sperms are placed next to egges and expected to fertizile the eggs naturally. (classic IVF method)
- Sperm is taken by a special device and inject (microinjection) into the egg, under a microscope.
Doctors determine the best method for the patience to get a better succes rate.
Inoculation Method
For some cases, inoculation method can be preferred before trying IVF. Especially if the problem is related to sperm cells and if the reason of fetilization is unknown, inoculation method is preffered. Just like the IVF Treatmeni for inoculation, ovaries are alerted. After eggs are matured, healthy harvested sperms are transffered into the uterus and natural fetilization is expected to happen. For a successful inoculation, the woman should be able to get pregnant and there should be no disorder that can reduce chance to get pregnant.Of course, the sperm quality should be good enough to fertilize the egg.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Is the Success Rate of IVF Treatment?
In IVF procedures, the age of the mother and the quality of the embryo are among the factors that directly affect the success rate. In addition to age-related statistics, the factors affecting the success of IVF treatment are:
- High weight (Body Mass Index over 30)
- Reduced ovarian reserve
- Sperm quality
- Problems with sperm attachment and decreased count
- Problems in the uterus and fallopian tubes
- Immune system issues damaging sperm and ovaries
- Presence of conditions such as polyps, adhesions, or endometriosis preventing implantation in the uterus
- Smoking by both female and male partners
- Stress, unbalanced nutrition, and alcohol consumption
-
What Is the Age Limit for IVF Treatment?
The IVF treatment process begins with the evaluation of a woman's ovarian reserve. Through an ultrasound and certain hormone tests performed on the 3rd day of menstruation, the ovarian reserve can be assessed. If these examinations determine that the ovarian reserve is in good condition, IVF treatment can be applied up to the age of 45.
Due to some chromosomal effects associated with advanced maternal age in IVF treatment, the embryo needs to be examined in detail. Additionally, for women who begin IVF treatment at age 38 or older, preimplantation genetic testing is important for evaluating the condition of the embryo. For these reasons, it is recommended that women start treatment without waiting for advanced age.

What Does the IVF Treatment Process Include?
In women with regular menstrual cycles, one egg is released each month. When IVF treatment begins, the number of eggs is attempted to be increased with externally administered hormonal medications. Although each treatment procedure may vary, the main goal is to apply hormone therapies that promote egg development while preventing male hormone interference in parallel. During the use of hormonal medications, egg development is monitored, and blood tests and ultrasound examinations are performed to adjust the dosage when necessary. At the end of this monitored process, the eggs that reach the desired maturity are collected using a trigger injection and fertilized in the laboratory with sperm obtained from the male.
The fertilized eggs are left to develop in a culture medium under controlled temperature and atmosphere in the laboratory for 2 to 6 days. At the end of the specified period, the embryos showing the best development are selected and transferred into the uterus. The number of embryos to be transferred is discussed in detail with the couple, as it directly affects the chance of pregnancy and the risk of multiple pregnancies.

Which Conditions Does the IVF Unit Treat?
In vitro fertilization (IVF), an assisted reproductive technique, aims to help couples who cannot have children due to unexplained infertility, infections or tubal blockages in the mother, advanced maternal age, and in men, low sperm quality and count, as well as problems such as obesity.
