Fertility Treatments (IVF)
Research and testing for infertility treatment have been ongoing for centuries, with a significant breakthrough occurring in 1978 with the development of in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Since 1989, IVF has been offered to infertile couples in Turkey, leading to the successful delivery of thousands of babies.
IVF is often the preferred treatment option for couples who are experiencing difficulty conceiving. It can be beneficial for couples facing various challenges, including issues with the male partner, such as poor sperm quality or a low sperm count, as well as the female partner, such as conditions like endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, or tubal abnormalities. These medical factors can significantly affect natural conception, and IVF provides a viable solution.
Moreover, IVF can also be an option for couples who do not have specific medical reasons for infertility but are still unable to conceive. It offers hope and an opportunity for couples who desire to have children but face challenges in achieving pregnancy through natural means.
In Turkey, various centers and clinics have been offering IVF treatments with high success rates for many years. These facilities have specialized medical professionals, advanced technologies, and a wealth of experience in assisting couples with fertility issues. By providing access to IVF, Turkey has given hope and the possibility of parenthood to numerous couples who otherwise may not have had an alternative.
IVF has revolutionized the field of infertility treatment, offering a promising solution for couples facing various reproductive challenges. Through this assisted reproductive technique, many individuals and couples have been able to fulfill their dream of starting or expanding their families.
Treatment Methods
A fertility treatment must be individualized and tailored to meet an individual’s specific clinical condition or problem. The patient’s history, test results and their social-clinical criteria will be closely determined, and the recommended treatment option will be based on this analysis.
Important Points / Adverse Effects
A couple aiming to have a child should not have a health problem which might endanger either the pregnancy or the mother’s life. Aside from this, there are no firm contraindications for IVF treatments.
Since the medications used for induction are hormone-based, side effects such as mood changes, abdominal discomfort, edemas, headaches, hot flashes, dizziness, or an increase in breast sensitivity may be experienced during the stimulation phase of fertility treatments. A spotting type of bleeding and/or abdominal pain and discomfort may occur after embryo transfer, but do not require the use of any medicine.
