IN VITRO FERTILIZATION [IVF]

Intrauterine insemination is a natural fertility treatment that may increase chance of pregnancy in couples who fail or have difficulty in conception. IUI can also be preferred for single women, who use donor sperm, or couples with male-factor infertility, such as low sperm count. The procedure requires office conditions. Read More

Briefly, in vitro fertilization therapy is fertilizing egg with sperm at laboratory settings followed by transfer of resultant embryo into uterus in couples who cannot conceive through natural means. Read More

Microinjection (ICSI) involves injecting the sperm into the egg. The procedure is performed in a laboratory; it is expected that 40 to 70% of mature eggs are fertilized, although the rate varies according to quality of eggs and sperms. Read More

IMSI is a sperm microinjection procedure, where sperm is evaluated under very high microscopic magnification and used for microinjection.

When it is compared with in vitro fertilization and ordinary microinjection, it allows morphological evaluation of a sperm cell with higher quality. Read More

The blastocyst transfer, which has started to be applied with the developing technology, is one of the advanced in vitro fertilization methods.

In a normal pregnancy; The single-cell embryo, which is formed as a result of the union of the ovary and sperm cells, that is, fertilization, passes through the tubes about 5-6 days after fertilization and takes its way to attach to the mother’s uterus. The embryo, which expands in volume and comes out of the surrounding membrane, is called the blastocyst during this period. Read More

In in vitro fertilization therapies, embryos resulting from fertilization are transferred to mother’s womb, where they continue growing and developing. However, pregnancy fails in some cases, even if high quality embryo is transferred.  Read More

Pregnancy vaccine is one of most recent technologies in in vitro fertilization and it facilitates adaptation of the womb to the pregnancy. This procedure somewhat vitalizes and prepares the womb for pregnancy before embryo transfer. Thus, implantability of the embryo is increased. Read More

Pool method implies picking up two or more eggs before embryo transfer and freezing resultant embryos. According to the treatment protocol, pooled embryos are thawed and transferred to uterus. Read More

Embryo transfer implies the transfer of embryo formed as a result of fertilization of egg and sperm to the womb, which is the last stage of in vitro fertilization method. The highest quality embryos should be selected and transferred at the most suitable time to increase the chance of pregnancy. Read More

Azoospermia, that is, the most advanced level of male infertility. Azoospermia is a condition in which no sperm is produced in the semen in men. In men who experience such a situation, surgical methods are used as a last resort. Micro TESE operation is one of these methods. Read More

Hysteroscopy and Laparoscopy is one of the diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities offered by technological development today. It is also one of the most modern diagnosis and treatment methods used. Read More

Today, oocyte freezing is among in vitro fertilization practices and it is possible to collect eggs of women and freeze and store them for possible future pregnancy requests. Read More

Sperm freezing is the process of obtaining and freezing a man’s sperm at laboratory settings for In Vitro Fertilization therapy to be applied later.

Embryos resulting from fertilization of eggs and sperms, both collected from parents, at laboratory settings are transferred to uterus of the mother. However, maximum 2 embryos can be transferred in each cycle of vitro fertilization therapy. Other embryos can be frozen and stored in order to be used in subsequent attempts, if required. Thus, a chance of more than one pregnancy is obtained at once. Embryos can be stored up to 5 years pursuant to relevant Turkish legislation. Read More

Thanks to ever advancing technological means, numerous genetic diseases can be diagnosed even before embryos are transferred to the womb. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is technique that allows genetic examination of embryos. Read More

Array Comparative Genomic Hybdridization (aCGH) is technology that allows comprehensive gen screening before the embryo transfer to help selection of appropriate embryos. Read More
