To briefly summarize the IVF application, we can explain it as the fertilization process of male and female reproductive cells under in vitro conditions.

In this method, male and female reproductive cells are kept in a suitable environment at body temperature for 48 hours. Fertilization occurs in about half of the eggs obtained during this period. These fertilized eggs are called embryos (fetus) and are placed into the female uterus, which is the final destination.

Embryos are placed into the uterus with a thin catheter through the cervix. Pregnancy occurs in approximately 50% of women as a result of these procedures. However, some of these pregnancies end in miscarriage. Approximately 40% of couples undergoing treatment have a child. This rate can reach 70 – 80% as a result of many applications. The remaining 20-30% group cannot have a child today, despite all the possibilities of modern medicine.

In IVF methods, the ovaries of the woman are stimulated with various medications (Gonal-F, Puregon, Menogon). The purpose of stimulating the ovaries is to obtain a large number of eggs that are candidates for embryo formation. Placing a large number of embryos in the uterus (embryo transfer) has been shown to increase the chances of pregnancy (pregnancy rates are around 10% when one embryo is placed, 40-50% when three embryos are placed).
