In Vitro Fertilisation

What is IVF?

IVF is the process of fertilising the egg with sperm in a laboratory environment and placing the embryo in the uterus. The embryo will attach to the intrauterine membrane and the baby will be formed..

In vitro fertilisation treatment for infertile couples includes various treatments such as vaccination, in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

IVF is a method that can be applied for many years in couples who cannot have children. The first live birth with in vitro fertilisation was on 25 July 1982. Since then, more than 60.000 babies have been born with the in vitro fertilisation method.

In vitro fertilisation treatment is a method of assisted reproductive treatment in cases where conception cannot be achieved naturally for more than 1 year. Pregnancy rates in IVF method are between 20-40% and live birth rates are between 15-25.

How is IVF Treatment Performed?

The most commonly used method in IVF treatment today is intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The first pregnancy was achieved with this method in 1992. The method used before is in-vitro fertilisation. Following the development of eggs, these eggs are collected by vaginal ultrasound and aspiration needles. Simultaneously, fertilisation is achieved in the laboratory with the sperm of the partner separated from the seminal fluid. The resulting embryo is implanted into the uterus with a transfer cannula..

In the ICSI method, sperm is introduced into the egg and used in IVF treatment. This method is very useful for problems caused by male-related problems.

It is an important option at the point of solution in case of low sperm count or movement problem.
